TOCHNI

Overview

Thematic Trails

The unique architecture of the village is a guarantee for the beauty of Tochni, as the main material used in its buildings is the stone that originates from the area. The narrow alleys and the upper floor houses all built with stone give a special charm to the village. During medieval times, Tochni already existed under the same name, constituting a feud. There is no clear information about the name of the village, although one version states that, according to local tradition, "Tochni" originated from a corruption of the word "Art" referring to the special art and craftsmanship needed to build the village. The Turkish Cypriot inhabitants had given the village the name Taskent which means stone settlement.
