Home description
Villa Melissa is set in a quiet residential area in the exclusive Blue Water Bay Village. Just 5 minutes walk to nearest shops, restaurants and beach. From here you can continue your walk along a coastal path to take in the wave kissed coastline, the crystal clear waters, the isolated rock formations, the sea caves and arches that give you a flavour of the real Cyprus.
From this location, you decide how much relaxation or activity you want from your holiday. You could spend the holiday at the Villa, cooking on the gas barbecue, eating al fresco on the outdoor dining furniture overlooking the private pool. But then it would be a shame to miss out on the dining facilities just minutes away on the High Street, Try the local specialities and you will delight the taste buds as well as your wallet.
Relax on the Sunbeds? Cool off in the pool? Be beaten by the kids on the PlayStation? Discover the local beaches and coves?
For a livelier day, Ayia Napa is just 15 minutes drive away and Protaras just 10 minutes. Enjoy the selection of water sports available, or hire a boat to go fishing. In the evening you will be spoiled for choice by the range of restaurants, bars and clubs.
With a PS2 Play Station in the bedroom to occupy the children whilst you recover from the excursions of the day, don't forget to pack a few games. A few of your favourite DVDs for the late evenings as well perhaps?
Villa Melissa has a truly homely feel about it, with its black leather sofas, cherry wood furnishings, ornaments, pictures on the walls and blinds to all windows.

The Famagusta District
The Famagusta District, on the islands east coast, was once the main port of Cyprus and a popular resort. After the Turkish invasion in 1974 the areas of Ayia Napa and Protaras were redeveloped to become one of the largest resort areas on the island with many hotels, tavernas, discos and bars. The area includes some of the finest beaches in Cyprus as well as Capa Greco and the administrative centre, Paralimni.
Protaras, with Fig Tree Bay at its heart is famous for its white sandy beaches and sparkling blue waters. Looked over by green rolling hills you can find rugged cliffs standing high over small sandy coves and local fish tavernas serving fresh fish whilst you take in the wonderful scenery. A short drive takes you to the scenic valley of the windmills, where what seems like hundreds of rotating fan blades help to pump the water that irrigates this fertile land. Watersports are available, including water-skiing and windsurfing
Southern Cyprus is famous for its warm climate; enjoying 340 days of sunshine a year, making it an all year round destination for holiday makers.
Protaras, just 10 minutes from the Villa, is the main beach resort and is famous for its sandy beaches. Located within Fig Tree Bay it boasts crystal clear waters and endless secluded coves. Watersports, including water-skiing and wind surfing, are available at Protaras. This is a family orientated resort offering great entertainment, including mini-golf, a sea aquarium and evening entertainment at the Eden Square.
Ayia Napa is a bustling resort that has recovered its reputation as a great family resort with plenty of activities and entertainments for the whole family. Nissi beach is perhaps the most famous of the many sandy beaches in the area. Pay a visit to the old monastery and the local museum. The harbour has some excellent fish restaurants. If your passion is to dance the night away, then you will be spoiled for choice from the many lively bars and nightclubs. The WaterPark is said to be one of the largest in Europe.
Capo Greco, the eastern most point of Cyprus is just a short drive from Ayia Napa. Worth a visit for rugged coastline, peace and tranquillity. It is a protected area with many cycleways. It is also a good area for scuba diving.
Paralimni is the largest town in the southern fringe of Cyprus and is now the administrative centre for the Famagusta region. Modern shops and offices stand beside traditional coffee shops and old stores. You should be able to find anything you might need here, including emergency dental treatment! Relax and soak up the atmosphere in the 'village' square over a coffee and snack. There is even a Marks & Spencer's just off the square!
Kapparis area
Nestling along the coast close to the border with Northern Cyprus, is the beautiful resort of Kapparis. Restful cafe bars, restaurants and several small supermarkets and a bakery populate the main road, plus a couple of car hire/excursion agents.
There are several small beaches just off the main street with water sports and snack bars. The Malama Hotel has a pool, bar, shop & tennis courts, all open to the public.
Kapparis is a relatively restful resort but one that is growing in popularity and is now open all year. Yet it is close enough to Protaras & Ayia Napa should you wish to raise the tempo of your holiday.
Inside a small zoo there is a lookout tower from where you can see across the border (buffer zone) into the North. An information centre outlines the history of the divided island.
Ten minutes walk from the High Street is Fireman's beach, aptly named due to the Fire Service Training School at the top of the cliff. From here you can see right across the bay to Famagusta resort with its empty hotels and deserted beaches.
The Cypriot people are naturally very friendly, welcoming and helpful. They have a strong tradition for family life so children are made to feel welcome in most restaurants. English is spoken by most Cypriots.
How to get there
Direct flights to Cyprus are available from a number of UK airports with additional budget airlines adding routes from March 2009. This will increase competition which, with landing fees at Larnaca airport reducing substantially this year will provide extra value.
Whilst Cyprus has two international airports with Paphos to the west of the island, Larnaca is the airport of choice when visiting the Famagusta area. A new terminal is due to open later in 2009, which demonstrates the increasing popularity of Cyprus as a holiday destination. This is 65 kms from the villa or about 45 minutes to drive.
Regular schedule flights to Larnaca are operated by British Airways (www.britishairways.com). We can supply details of other airlines upon request.
Hiring a car is recommended (preferably one with air conditioning), if you wish to tour the island and sample all that it has to offer. There is a wide choice available based at the airport. Oh and there is no need to worry, we will provide you with a map and clear directions from the airport. You just need to remember to pack it! Remember too that they drive on the left the same as in the UK and that road signs are also in English.
We can also arrange a meet and greet service, where you will be driven to and from the airport and your chosen Villa, where your hire car will be waiting.
You can also arrange to hire a car in Kapparis just for selected days, though in the season, this is best done in advance.
Alternatively, you can just use taxis to get from and to the airport. After all, with your own pool and being within walking distance of the beach, shops, restaurants and bars a relaxing holiday in the sun would tick the boxes of many a discerning holidaymaker.
Return cost of taxi between Larnaca airport & Villa is around 120 euro for up to 3 people, with each extra passenger charged at 30 euros.
There is a bus service between Kapparis and Ayia Napa that runs every 20 minutes from April through to September.
