Dhrousha () is a village in the Paphos District of Cyprus, located 10km south of Polis Chrysochous. It is located 620m above sea level. It receives about 613mm of annual rainfall. The average annual temperature is 16.6°C.
Drousia (or Drouseia or Droushia), one of the smallest villages in the mountainous area of Paphos, built at the highest point of the plateau of Laona, is located on the western side of the island.
The settlement seems to have taken its name from the word “drosia” (meaning "coolness", temperature-wise, in Greek), since because of its altitude and its relatively short distance from Akamas, it remains a cool destination even during the summer months.
