The village is bordered on the south by Lania, on the west by Silikou and Kouka, on the north by Moniatis, on the northeast by Pelendri and on the east by Agios Mamas. Trimiklini is famous for its double bridge; the only one in Cyprus. Local residents grow grapes and fruit trees , including nectarines, peaches, plums, and pears here. They have also long been engaged in the production of zivania and wine . Part of the cultural heritage of the village is the building of the primary school, which opened its doors in 1926. Then, it had an enrolment of 49 students. Now it’s community property, restored by the municipal council. Currently, 11 children from the community attend the new district school. The Green Valley waterfall is worth the walk along a narrow path, hidden in the shade of century-old trees . There are several outdoor cafes and restaurants, a fruit market, where you can buy freshly picked fruit and vegetables , and small shops with sweets, including excellent mountain honey , plus two interesting churches dedicated to the Virgin of Mercy.
