Agridia is a small village of the Region of Pitsilia, in the Lemesos District. It is the ninth highest village in Cyprus, built on an altitude of 1100 m above sea level.[citation needed]

The village has two churches dedicated to Prophet Elias. These include a small chapel built on a hill, and a large church in the center of the village.[citation needed]. The village is also the place where the Troodos Observatory is located.
