Villa Cepheus

Villa Cepheus offers you a fabulous location, walking distance from the beach and a short drive from the lively town of Ayia Napa. Situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, you benefit from all the privacy of a private villa and the tranquillity of this location, whilst still only being a stone throw from the fabulous amenities and lively atmosphere of the town.

Ayia Napa is known as a lively party destination, so if you enjoy a cocktail or two after a lazy day on the beach, then this is the perfect place! Located on the south-eastern coast of Cyprus, the town is bursting with rich history and culture, with an ancient monastery and medieval church, constructed from warm, honey-coloured limestone, with Byzantine influences found throughout the architecture. The charming history of Ayia Napa sets a beautiful backdrop for evenings ambling around the picturesque streets, filled with bustling restaurants and folklore bars, as well as an animated nightlife that comes to life as the sun sets each evening.

The coastline of Cyprus is famed for its white sandy beaches and turquoise sea, with a seemingly endless number of sandy shores to explore, some calm and tranquil, whilst other boast water sports and lively bars! Ayia Thekla is the closest beach to the villa, just a 10-minute walk away. Named for the church that has stood there proudly for centuries, this beautiful beach offers you golden sand, sun loungers and umbrellas, a perfectly peaceful setting for lazy days by the sea. Nissi beach, also nearby is famous for its water sports and scuba diving, perfect for those who enjoy a more active relaxation!

As you travel inland, the island opens out into beautiful sweeping landscapes, dotted with vineyards, pine trees and wildflower meadows. You can enjoy hiking and mountain biking in the Cape Greco National Park, before heading back to the coast to cool off in the sea! A day trip to Paphos is always popular, where you can swim around Aphrodite's Rock, known as the spiritual home of the Greek goddess of love.

Cypriot food has become more and more well known, in part due to the popularity of Halloumi cheese, which originated on the island! Order yourself a traditional meze platter so you can try a variety of different dishes, and make sure you order some sweet baklava as dessert!
