On foot within and around the village, but you need a car for anywhere else. A 4x4 helps.

- Local wines.
- Zivania (potent local version of grappa). At your peril.
As with every Cypriot village, of whatever size, there are a couple of traditional coffee shops in the centre of the village (Kafenio - Καφενεία) where apart from traditional Cypriot coffee, you may find basic food and fossilised old men smoking whilst playing backgammon. The mayor, the gendarmes and the firemen might also be sitting there (playing backgammon) as these establishments tend to be the central meeting point.
