Paliometocho (also referred as Palaiometocho) is a village found in the mid East on the island of Cyprus. Paliometocho is inhabited by about 6000 people, and it mainly functions as a suburb of Lefkosia, the capital of Cyprus. It is the second largest village as far as land size on the island. Its name is derived from the Greek "Palio" (old) and "Metochio" (inn). Its name was given to it because it used to be a rest stop used by pilgrims who visited the Kykkos monastery. In the December 17 2006 council and municipal Elections, Christakis Tomazos was elected as Mouchtar of Paliometocho.
