Thematic Trails

The village is built about 45 km west of the city of Limassol. According to the findings of excavations in the area, the village of Anogyra was continuously inhabited since the Neolithic period. There are three versions regarding the name of the village. One mentions that the village took its name from the plant anagyris, while the other argues that the name was derived from the fact that Anogyra was the upper part of the village Gyroi. Finally, a third version states that the name comes from the Upper Sanctuaries (Ano Iera), because the sanctuaries are located in the village.
