Pachna is a village in Limassol district with roughly 1,000 inhabitants. It is subdivided into Pano (upper) and Kato (Lower) Pachna, which fuels healthy local rivalry (the Pano lot consider themselves superior) but for all intents and purposes its the same village. Perched at an altitude of 750 metres on the southern slopes of the Troodos Mountains it enjoys an ideal climate for vine cultivation. It has long been the heartland of the Cypriot wine villages and you will not come across a local who does not own a vineyard or two. The two local wineries (see below) have developed a reputation for quality whilst using mostly local grape varieties. If you visit Pachna, there is not much else to do other than relax, eat and drink.
