Psimolofou

Psimolofou or Psimolophou (Greek: Ψιμολόφου) is a village located about 16 km from Nicosia District Capital of Cyprus, en route to the historic Machairas Monastery.

Psimolofou rests at a height of 340 meters above sea level and is surrounded by a number of perfectly flat hills.

The historic urban center features narrow streets and very old houses made of soil and hay blocks called plynths (Greek: Πλύνθοι).

Psimolofou has approximately 2000 residents and has been growing steadily since the 19th century, when official records first began to be kept.

Psimolofou is a fast expanding residential area very near to the city; its cooler climate, especially in the summer, adds to its appeal.
