About

Hidden deep in the pine forests of the Troodos Mountains, Gnomes Hill is a tiny  village where gnomes might just live.

Among the trees stand little houses built from wood, stone and straw — a crooked tower, a square castle, a cozy hut with a thatched roof, and even an egg-shaped home waiting for its red gnome hat.

It’s a magical place for families and dreamers, where nature and imagination meet under the Cyprus sky.

Know Before You Go

Bring your children — they’ll be enchanted by the tiny houses, running and playing among the gnomes’ homes with endless wonder. And don’t forget to make a wish: place a coin inside one of the little houses, and who knows — it just might come true.
