Silikou (Greek: Σιλίκου, Turkish: Siliku or Silifke) is a village in the Limassol District of Cyprus, located 5 km south of Pera Pedi.
The village has a long tradition of wine making, which began during the Frankish period, coinciding with the arrival of the settlers from Syria in 1200AD.
[citation needed] the wine is called commandaria and a winery museum was built in Cypruses president Nikos Anastasiadis old home.
A cluster of old oil trees dating back to 1300 AD verifies the long history of the village.
These perennial olive trees are located between the cypriot and the Turkish neighborhoods of Silikou, only a few metres away from the Commandaria Museum and the ruins of the old mosque.
