Silikou (Greek: Σιλίκου, Turkish: Siliku or Silifke) is a village in the Limassol District of Cyprus, located 5 km south of Pera Pedi. Silikou village lies in the Kouris valley, situated in the Limassol District of Cyprus. The village is situated close to Trimiklini, Saitas, Dhoros, Monagri, Kouka and Lania villages. There are two legends as to how the village acquired its name. The first is from the early settlers who founded the village during the Frankish period of 1200 AD. They came from an area in Syria called Silica. The second is from the Greek word vasilikou, which means "regal" or "royal", a reference to a section of the royal family of Cyprus that sought refuge in the village from the Ottomans.
