President of the Friends of Kalo Chorio Association - Welcome message Dear Friends

The Friends of Kalo Chorio Association "Commandaria" was established in March of 2003 (Download the articles of association ). The initiative began in 1985, but it was 2 years ago that we were able to formalize it and increase its membership.

We work with great zeal and enthusiasm and all the Kalo Chorians help and support our association.

Our goals are:
1. Developing relationships and friendships among our members.
2. Fostering the touristic, cultural, financial and social improvement of the village.
3. Solving problems of the village working closely with the local government.
4. Establishment of a committee to preserve and improve the natural environment.
5. Establishment of a committee to work on several projects in the village.
6. Organization of seminars and lectures on topics that are of interest to the residents of the village.
7. Organization of cultural theatrical and musical events.

The board of our association has worked hard to achieve many of the above goals. Your support is very important to us in many ways.

Kalo Chorio is a village that is worth visiting. The climate is agreeable at any time of the year. You can have a white view with snow in the winter and green and cool summers. Spring is beautiful with the scent of flowering trees in the fields and gardens.

A tour of the village can start with a visit to the Commandaria factory, one of the oldest co-operatives in Cyprus, established in 1924, where you can watch a short film about the cultivation of the vine and the production of Commandaria.

After a visit to the Village Tavern for a delicious and refreshing food and drink break, the visitor will have various options:
1. Visit one of the local coffee shops (Kafenion)
2. Take a walk through the village to meet local and expatriate residents, take a look at restored traditional houses and watch bread being made at the village bakery.
3. Visit the 19th century church of Agia Marina and see the unique hand carved wooden iconostasis, which took the sculptor seven years to complete.
4. Go on a Nature trail walk through gardens of walnut, fig, orange and tangerine trees and many vegetables. The trail is the habitat of local birds and is rich in flora.

Sincerely ,

Christodoulos Laspos
President of the Friends of Kalo Chorio Association
