ANOGYRA VILLAGE
Anogyra Village or Anoyira (both pronounced Annoy-ra) as it is sometimes known, is a beautiful, very traditional and picturesque area in the district of Limassol.
There are numerous theories on the origin of the village’s name. One of them claims that the term Anogyra stems from “Ano Gyroi.” According to this story, the existing settlement was the upper portion of a village named “Gyroi” that was located further south of its current location. According to a second theory, the name derives from the plant “anagyris,” which may still be found throughout the community. According to a different account, the settlement received its name from the “Ano Iera,” i.e., from the sanctuaries that once existed in the region of the modern village. According to Antonis Papageorgiou’s book “Etymological About Cyprus,” the name Anogyra most likely derives from the Greek word “onogyros,” which means thistle.

KOUKLIA VILLAGE
Kouklia (Greek: Κούκλια, Turkish: Kukla) is a village in the Paphos District, about 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) east from the city of Paphos on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. The village is built in the area of "Palaepaphos" (Greek: Παλαίπαφος) (Old Paphos), mythical birthplace of Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love and beauty, which became the centre for her worship in the ancient world. Because of its ancient religious significance and architecture, Kouklia was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List along with Kato Paphos in 1980.
Recent archaeology has been continuing on the site since 2006 & the remains of the ancient city and the sanctuary can be seen today.
