Pano Arodes

Religiously significant, thanks to its main church, which is believed by some to be the only church in the world dedicated to Saint Kalandionas

Located in the Pafos region, about 23 km northeast of the town of Pafos, the village of Pano Arodes is stunningly-positioned on the Laona plateau, 590 metres above sea level - at the edge of the Akamas Nature Reserve leading down to the breathtaking Avakas Gorge and the coast. 

Immersed in a landscape of vineyards and orchards, the village is tranquil and green, and popular for walks where visitors can discover the various flora and fauna of the area, as well as its little lanes of traditional stone houses.

The village is also religiously significant, thanks to its main church of Pano Arodes, which is believed by some to be the only church in the world dedicated to Agios (Saint) Kalandionas, who is also the patron saint of the village.
