Foini (Greek: Φοινί, sometimes also spelled Phini), is a village in the Troödos Mountains of Cyprus. The village is notable for its pottery. The town of Kato Plátres is located nearby.

Nature

[edit]

Many creeks originating from the Troodos peaks end up at the heart of the village. The village of Foini is located near the springs of river Diarizos; one of them is located in Foini and the other in the village of Kaminaria.[2]

The wild vegetation in Foini includes rich flora and characteristic kinds of Cypriot fauna. Mostly pine trees, aspens, cedars, and a great range of seasonal flowers, such as roses are found in the areas covered by wild vegetation, especially near the river banks.[2]
