Some 17 kilometres southeast of Pafos is Nikokleia, a nice village amidst a valley, crossed by the the Diarizos river. It took its name from the last king of Pafos, Nikoklis (520 BC).

The Diarizos valley is an important habitat for millions of birds, and a host to vineyards, orange orchards, and vegetable plantations. Next to the village is the commanding Asprokremmos dam, a remarkable sight that is worth a visit. At the centre of the village is the church of Ayios Demetrios that dates back to 1768 AD.
