Statos–Agios Fotios

[2] Built at an altitude of 913 meters,[3][4] amidst a verdant landscape on the eastern slopes of the mountainous areas of the province, Statos–Agios Fotios is a sparsely populated village with well- kept gardens and good planning.

The two villages, which were two kilometers away from each other during the 1966-1969 period, due to the rapid rainfall, suffered serious damage from the devastating landslides of the era, and the then government called special geologists to study the phenomenon.

It was therefore deemed necessary to move the settlements to another location and so the residents of the two communities decided to unite, with the consent of the local government and the President of the Republic of Cyprus Archbishop Makarios III.

Statos–Agios Fotios, the most mountainous village in the province of Paphos, has a great tradition in viticulture and because of the altitude, the vineyards of the area are the last to ripen.

Ideal starting point for excursions to nearby churches-monasteries in the area and a quiet community that offers tranquility, a cool climate during the summer months and the beauties of the Cypriot countryside, Statos–Agios Fotios will satisfy any visitor who will ascend to the highest point of the province.
