Doros (Greek: Δωρός) is a village in the Limassol District of Cyprus, located 1 km north of Monagri.
Doros in Greek or Thoros in English is the name of the village, which is situated on a hill of 470 metres. It is hidden and surrounded by almond trees and grape vines. Doros is 25 km outside Limassol on the left side of the main road if you are travelling towards Troodos.
The name Doros is associated with the ancient Greek word doris, which means forest. The 150 or so residents are all farmers tending their livestock and all the fruit orchards.
At the beginning of July 2002, an ancient tomb was discovered and was handed over to the Antiques Department.[citation needed]
