This web site is designed to introduce visitors to a small village in Cyprus, - a village that retains much of its charm in a changing world. 
Cyprus is very well known for its history, scenery and climate and is a favourite destination for tourists - especially those from the UK and Europe. However many of these visitors see only the tourist attractions and are not really aware of the Cyprus that exists away from the bright lights!

Every village is different, and Mazotos has its own small niche in history being,  in Venetian times, a town of some importance that controlled its own district extending inland to Lefkara and beyond. The very old timers can still recall coming down to Mazotos from Lefkara - a 3 day journey by donkey - and helping load the Carob harvest for shipment to Limassol port.

The community today numbers about 850, predominantly Greek speaking Cypriots but with a growing number of expatriates who own holiday homes or who are here on a more permanent basis as retirees.

The authors interests which include Amateur Radio and Probus Larnaca are now on a separate web site http://leonardo.spidernet.net/Etceterus/4099 - please visit and learn about the Townley family!
