The villa sits within a truly beautiful landscaped garden on the magnificent Aphrodite Hills Resort. The resort is just fifteen minutes from Paphos International Airport, overlooking the fabled birthplace of the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite. The location, close to Paphos, is perfect. If you can bring yourselves to leave the golf course and tennis courts, you can be lounging on a Blue Flag beach, discovering ancient archaeological treasures, people watching on a palm-lined waterfront full of buzzy bars and friendly tavernas, visiting a waterpark, nibbling on meze platters, sipping wine from local vineyards, heading to the centuries-old monasteries in the deep forested Troodos Mountains or visiting the idyllic Akamas Peninsula with its shimmering waters.
Aphrodite Hills Resort is close to the charming Pissouri Beach and village. The authentic Cypriot character of Pissouri has been retained and the village is very friendly and welcoming. During the summer there is a ‘Cyprus night’ in the lovely traffic free village square with dancing and music. The views from Pissouri village are spectacular. It is possible to see the shore line all the way to Limassol and the dramatic Troodos range, including Mount Olympus, the highest mountain on the island to the north.
The gorgeous, family friendly Bonamare Beach is just 15km away, easily reachable by hire car or by private transfer which can be booked through the Reception desk. You can relax on sun loungers courtesy of the resort and enjoy delicious cocktails in the bar.
The historic Old Town of Paphos is beautiful. It is a recognised site of historic and archaeological importance. The Ancient Greeks believed Aphrodite rose from the sea at Paphos and the entire town is on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List. This historic Old Town was restored to its former glory in 2017 and is the perfect spot for alfresco dining, watching glorious sunsets, shopping in Kennedy Square and Makariou Avenue or visiting and admiring the unique architecture of the public library. You will discover medieval, Ottoman and neoclassical buildings, some designed by the architect Andreas Christodoulides. Kennedy Square is the main square where there are frequent music events, art exhibitions and dancing. Archbishop Makarios Avenue is the main shopping street, enjoying gorgeous buildings dating back to the 1920’s. The Old Town market sells leather goods, jewellery, souvenirs, sunglasses and designer labels. It is buzzy and fun and next door the Municipality market is perfect for stocking the villa with meat, fish, vegetables and fruit. For a cultural day out you can visit the Tomb of the Kings outside the northern walls of Paphos town and Kato Paphos Archaeological Park which houses impressive Roman mosaics. You will discover both trendy, fine dining restaurants and traditional Cypriot restaurants. Paphos Old Town’s narrow cobbled streets are lined with unique shops selling paintings, silk, porcelain, carved wood, jewellery or food products such as delicious carob syrup, marmalades, honey and Cypriot sweets.
