Alektora is a small Cypriot village located 42 kilometres west of Limassol, 230 metres above sea level, on the frontier of the provinces of Limassol and Paphos. The northern slopes are approximately 500 metres tall. The village is surrounded by the Kolyvos escarpment and the Varvatses hill. The village is dispersed in a valley filled with vineyards, olive trees, citrus fruit trees, carob trees, almond trees, and some cereals, while the surrounding hills are covered in dense vegetation. After the Turkish invasion, Greek Cypriots who were displaced from their own villages sought refuge there.
