TRIMIKLINI
The village of Trimiklini is built in the largest valley in Cyprus, 27 Kms from Limassol between Limassol and the Troodos Mountain. It has for many years been a place to stop and rest. High mountains surround the village with the highest being mount Zalaka and a large ravine on the south of the village through which flows the crystal clear waters of the Kouris River. The villagers are occupied by tree and vine production. They produce peaches, nectarines, pears and plums. Wine and Zivania are also produced in the village.
There are two explanations as to the origin of the name Trimiklini, according to tradition. The first explanation is that the name comes from the Greek words ‘thermo klini’, which in ancient times was supposed to be a very stable climate both in summer and winter making it a suitable place for invalids to recuperate. The second explanation claims that the name comes from the words ‘therm krini’ and was connected to a fountain, which had water running warm in the winter and cold in the summer.
An ancient three arched bridge on the shores of the Kouris River was built in Venetian times with stones from the river. Another bridge is the only double bridge in Cyprus which was partly built in 1901, for carriages and completed in 1917 with the arrival of the first motor vehicles. During 1955 to 1960 a dam was built on the Kouris River, which is the largest river in Cyprus. It is the only dam in Cyprus that is always full, forming a huge lake of exceptional natural beauty where birds nest during summer.
An ancient church, dedicated to the miraculous icon of Panayia Eleousa (His Holy Mother) was reconstructed in 1744. Remarkable decorative work can be seen inside the church, particularly on the timber roof. The beams are carved with coloured decorations of geometric shapes and plants. The old and rare locking device on the west door is still preserved. What really attracts the eye though, are the beautiful icons standing on a wooden base. During the 1920s, a large new church was built beside the old chapel, which was completed by the 1950s.
By the contribution of the people of the community, the first elementary school was built of local stone and opened with 49 students in 1926. It now comprises part of the cultural heritage of the village and is still owned by the community. The school was renovated by the Community Council and faces the Community Park and amphitheatre. Today, a new regional elementary school operates with students from eleven communities. Across the Community Park stands the statue of the hero Demetris Arminiotis who was killed on 7August 1974 fighting the Turkish invaders and his grave is in the Trimiklini cemetery.
On the main Limassol to Platres road which runs through then village, outside the coffee shops there is a market offering traditional products such as Zivania, wine, Sousouko, all kinds of sweets and fruit produced locally. It is a bazaar that is unique to Cyprus. On September 9th 1994 the Community Centre of Trimiklini was opened, housing the Community Council Offices and the Community doctors as well as various cultural activities and events.
In Trimiklini there are restaurants, coffee shops , sweet shop, petrol station, supermarkets, butchers, flower shop and a builders merchants where locals and visitors can be served and spend some restful time in the unique, green environment of the village. |
