Philousa Khrysokhous
The nearby town of Polis Chrysochou is the main administration, school and medical centre for the village.
The Filousa Village in this article is not to be confused with the Filousa Village which lies further south near Kedares Village.
The population of Filousa Village has 31 permanent residents, with the village becoming busier at the weekends, during festivals and the holiday periods.
According to legend, the village acquired its name from two trees that grew by the town square. The pair grew to be very large, eventually entwining. This gave the appearance as though they were kissing and the village became known as Filousa Village (translation: Kissing Village).
Filousa Village is spread along a main road, with a few narrow streets leading off.
Filousa Village has magnificent views, and has managed to keep its traditional architecture and charm.
