The Paphos District
Cyprus is an island of breathtaking scenery, with beautiful beaches set against a landscape of rugged cliffs, dense pine forests, field after field of vines, citrus and banana trees, and 127 flower varieties found nowhere else in the world. Steeped in mythology and widely believed to be Anthony's gift to Cleopatra and the birthplace of Aphrodite, this island, with its high standard of modern-day living, still retains a strong sense of the historic. Recognised as the most sun-sure spot in the eastern mediterranean, Cyprus enjoys an average of 340 sunny days per year and low annual rainfall. Wherever you go, you will find that the local people are friendly and welcoming, and that English is widely spoken throughout the island. The currency is in pounds and cents in the same denominations as the British pounds and pence, driving is on the left, electricity is 240v using 3-pin plugs and telecommunication services are good. No vaccinations are required and both public and private healthcare services are of a high standard.
The Paphos Region Head off in any direction from the main towns and, within a few kilometres, you are in an area of dramatic hillsides and rolling countryside or long stretches of sandy beaches.The Pafos Region, which spans the whole western area beginning just a short distance east of Pafos International Airport, includes monasteries, mosaics, nature reserves, gorges, pine forests, vine-yards and wineries, small mountain villages and golf courses, as well as the beaches, shops, bars and restaurants in and around the main resorts of Pafos, Coral Bay, Polis and Latchi.
Well-connected to the rest of the island by scenic routes or motorway, the furthest-most resorts of Ayia Napa and Protaras are reachable within three hours, Larnaca and Nicosia within two hours and Limassol within 45 minutes of Pafos. The Troodos Mountain resorts of Omodos, Platres and Kakopetria are just one or two hours away.
The most lively bars and clubs with late-night licences are based mainly in or around the 'Bar Street' area – so are easy to find, or avoid, depending on what you like.
Chlorakas area
Paphos, a 5 minute drive, is a bustling tourist town with every concievable amenity from ancient Roman remains and mosaics, a Tropical aquarium and Go Kart tracks etc. There is a huge range of restaurants with high quality hotels in abundance. The harbour region and beaches have all usual the sea sports and with sea temperatures in the high 20's Scuba diving is recommended.
The hillside village of Peyia is 10 minutes northwest of Villa Sounion and 3km north of Coral Bay lies. One of the most popular residential villages in Cyprus, it has an attractive cistern-fountain square, a number of good cafes and tavernas, and all the amenities and facilities you need. Peyia village overlooks the sea and the views down across the valley and along the coast are simply stunning. It has recently become the preferred destination for a growing number of expatriates and consequently there is a large concentration of new build properties in the area (and unfortunately a fair amount of building work). Peyia's location is nevertheless still very appealing, and the feeling of being on the edge of the Akamas, with the Peyia forest and the vineyards of the Laona region just above and the beaches of Coral Bay just below, is probably why this village attracts and retains its loyal following.
How to get there
Scheduled airlines include British Airways and Cyprus Airways from London Heathrow and Gatwick, to Paphos and Larnaca. There are more charter seats into Paphos from the regions with Thomson Fly the largest player.
Change over days at the villa are usually Saturday and Wednesday when it is always possible to pick up a spare seat for an incredibly low fare.
Cheap car hire is available both at the airports and in town. Recommendation is to use a taxi to / from the villa nd seek a good local arrangement, - often 25% less than anything available on the internet.
