This beautiful village sits near the Troodos Mountains and offers a wonderful view from all directions. Looking out of the village, it is easy to observe the olive groves, the pine-covered mountainside of Madari, the top of Alestou, the pine forests and the Troodos mountain range.
The name of the village of Agios Georgios Kafkalou is connected with a small church that existed in the area, where a monk lived in a cave. In this cave, an icon of the saint was found. Moreover, the name of the village of Agios Georgios Kafkalou is also linked to its location and, more specifically, it is built in a "cauldron".
