* NOTE: All the tributes of All About Limassol (as the Official Guide of Limassol) aim to ONLY highlight the special advantages of this wonderful city, so that everyone can be aware of the unique Experiences it offers.

West of the village of Arsos, one will come across one of the most unique walking paths. The path features the 6 village fountains, and is an ideal way to enjoy the area's unique beauty and also learn about its history. 

Its plentiful water made Arsos a rich village, with fertile orchards, and this resulted in a constantly growing population. The stone-built fountains one encounters across this 1250 meter long trail were thus necessary in order to serve the entire population. 

The water flows year-round, creating an idyllic setting of little streams, large plane trees, poplar trees, walnut trees and willows. 

Which are the 6 fountains?

  • Fountain of Athkies (named after the willows in the area).
  • Oss’ Arkatzin Fountain (by the Byzantine monastery of Panayia Katholiki, where they used to wash the wheat for 'resi,' the traditional wedding treat).
  • Pano Vrysi (which means 'upper fountain', where the women of the village used to wash their clothes and source water for their own use).
  • ‘To Poullin’ Fountain (named after the bird – an eagle – emblazoned on it).
  • Fountain of Kostena.
  • Fountain of Koupa.
