Description
Doros in Greek or Thoron in English is the name of a Greek village, which is situated on a hill of 470 meters. It is hidden and surrounded by almond trees and grape vines. Doros is 25 kms outside Limassol on the left side of the main road if you are traveling towards Troodos.
The name Doros is associated with the ancient Greek word Doris which means forest. The 150 or so residents are all farmers tending their livestock and all the fruit orchards. The restoration on many houses, the traditional coffee shop, the immigration union with the many cultural festivities that it organizes in association with the municipal board, proves that Doros is a community full of life. This is a good reminder of the good old days, prior to the problem of urbanization.
