It is also connected by a coastal road to the southwest with the village of Zygi and from there with the city of Limassol.
Mazotos started to flourish in recent years in terms of tourism and buildings, as country houses were built. Many foreigners dwell in the neighborhood, primarily retired English people who fell in love with it and decided to stay here permanently. The church of Panagia tis Petounta, which is close to the sea, was erected on the remains of a Roman city, from which several tombs were discovered.
