POTAMITISSA.
Potamitissa, a beautiful village with steep green slopes, little orchards and vineyards, is situated approximately 37 kilometres from Limassol. It is one of the villages of the geographical region of Pitsilia , rich in natural beauty and fresh air.
The village was formed after the destruction of a bigger village named Rogkia. In particular, when the village of Rogkia was attacked by the Caramans, its residents sought shelter in the neighbouring area, on the banks of the River Ambelikos, thus establishing the location of the village.
The naming of the village is linked to the legend about the construction of a church on the banks of the River Ambelikos. According to tradition, Panagia (Virgin Mary) determined the place where She wanted the church to be constructed and that was next to the aforementioned river ( ‘Potamos’ means river in Greek). Therefore, the church was dedicated to Panagia Potamitissa and that is how the village got its name.
