The village of Droushia (also called Drousia, Drousha or Drouseia) is 620 metres above sea level and often has a lovely breeze that keeps it a little cooler than the coast.  It is a traditional Cypriot village on the edge of the Akamas peninsula, being 30km from Paphos and 10km from Polis.  The traditional character of the village is maintained through its stone houses with carved doors and windows, and in its narrow, winding streets that offer stunning views of hillside and coasts.

There are many tavernas in the village (a short walk uphill from Petra tou Nicola, but then it's downhill on the way back!).  There is also a recently opened cafe bistro on the main square, which serves wonderful Cypriot/Italian cuisine.

There are two small, family run cheese-making factories in the village.  Droushia has a gorgeous Greek Orthodox church and a small village shop.  It also has the excellent Akamas Rural Life Museum located in the Droushia Municipal building. Nearby, there is a Geology Centre in the village of Pano Arodes and a Turtle Museum in Ineia.
