The early morning sun dances atop red clay-tile rooftops in this slumbering mountain village. Pink bougainvillea cascades down sienna stone walls.
Olive trees stud the arid landscape.
On the horizon, the Mediterranean shimmers. The village of Tochni is rich in culture. Photo by David Muenker. Perched on a verandah, I watch the village stir and think how easy it would be to nestle into its unhurried pace. But this is Cyprus, rich with ruins covering 9,000 years of history to explore.
