Kritou Terra,

Polis Villages

 A beautiful oasis built of stone at 470m above sea level, enchanting the visitor with its beauty at first sight, that’s Kritou Terra.

 The name Kritou probably originates from a man called Erotokritos who lived in the area in the Byzantine years, while Terra was, most likely, a different village which came to be united with Kritou.

 The fertile land of the area and the particularities of nature attract many nature lovers.

 The old village school has been turned into the centre of Environmental Studies researching the riches of the area's natural environment.
 Kritou Terra is identified with the Dragoman Hadjigeorgakis Kornesios, a man who in the early 19th century was perhaps the most influential and most powerful personality of the Greek community of Cyprus.
