Trimiklini (Greek: Τριμίκλινη) is a village in the Limassol District of Cyprus, located 9 km south of Pano Platres.
Trimiklini is situated 27 kilometres north-west of the city of Limassol.[2] The village is built at an altitude of 545 metres above sea level.[3] Trimiklini lies on the main Limassol-Platres-Troodos road, which connects it with the city of Limassol and all the mountain resorts of Troodos.[2] It borders Laneia to the south, Silikou and Kouka to the west, Moniatis to the north, Pelendri to the north-east, and Agia Mamas to the east.
Natural Environment
Trimiklini is surrounded by a continuous range of high mountain peaks, the highest of which is Zalakas. To the south of the community there is a large gorge through which the Kouris River flows.[2]
Vineyards (both wine and table grape varieties), almond trees, olive trees and fruit trees are cultivated in the village. The main agricultural produce includes peaches, nectarines, pears and plums. The wine and zivania (Cypriot pomace brandy) produced by the villagers using traditional methods are well known.[2]
The village's crops are irrigated by the Trimiklini Dam, which has a capacity of 340,000 cubic metres. The dam remains full throughout the year, forming a large lake that serves as a habitat for various bird species during the summer months.
