The Paphos District
Paphos itself (20km) consists of two towns, each with its very own character. Ktima on the cliff (Upper Paphos) and Kato Paphos by the sea (Lower Paphos). One is virtually unchanged over the centuries and thoroughly Cypriot, while the other has expanded over the last decade from a sleepy fishing village and harbour, into a vibrant cosmopolitan resort which is expanding and improving each year.
In Kato Paphos, (in the archaeological park), you will find many fine mosaics and buildings from Greek and Roman periods, plus the Harbour Castle. Close by, is the church of St Paul's Pillar, where the pillar St Paul was tied to can be found. Further down this road are the Tombs of the Kings and Christian Catacombs.
You are only ten minutes drive from Peyia and the Coral Bay resort with all its cafes, bars, restaurants and other entertainment as well as one of the best beaches in Cyprus. You are also only 30 minutes from Paphos airport.
Heading East, you can find the route to Cedar Valley and the Troodos Mountains. The route is peppered with many other small but charming villages along the way.
An excellent highway runs to all corners of Cyprus but the old coast road is the most scenic route. A drive along here past various ancient sites such as Aphrodite's Birthplace and Temple, towards Limassol, taking in Curium, is delightful and is littered with the most beautiful views.
There are 3 beautiful golf courses in the area (including aforementioned Tsada), all with an individual style. All are within a 30 minute drive. Due to 340 sunshine days per year, Cyprus does offer many other activities but they are of course, too numerous to mention here.
Kathikas area
The property is situated just 500m (5 minute walk) from the village centre which now offers a good selection of restaurants (approx 10) and tavernas to suit all tastes, 2 bars (with sky TV) and a shop or 2 for groceries. Famous for its vineyards, the village is surrounded by vines and is renowned for the quality of its grapes. Many of the vines have been in the same family for generations. Two very famous wineries open their doors to visitors, so you can enjoy the winemaker's craft. The village is also home to a donkey sanctuary and a tourist information centre.
As the village of Kathikas is 600 metres above sea level, it has a good climate in summer with very little humidity. If you're a bit of an amateur anthropologist, then Kathikas is an ideal location in which to observe the traditional Cypriot way of life and to live it yourself. Kathikas' central location makes it an ideal base from which to explore such areas as Polis and Latchi, the Baths of Aphrodite, the Akamas Peninsula, the turtle hatchery at Lara Bay, to mention but a few. With a population of 349, the village offers something for everyone.
The village retains and continues to re-instate its old world character whilst encouraging selected new developments.There is no main church, but a small chapel serves the needs of the village. The village square has a small taverna where you can enjoy a cool drink whilst sitting under the trees. For fishing fans, the nearest reservoirs are Evretou and Mavrokolympos, whilst the nearest golf course is at the newly refurbished Tsada (10 minutes).

Guestbook for Villa Constanteras
Review submitted by Jane from Hockley (Submitted: 05/11/2009)
"I was delighted to find the villa exactly as I had expected apart from the fact that it was larger than I anticipated! It was beautiful. A wonderful experience to stay in Cypriot village where everyone was friendly. The village is in the hills/mountains around Paphos but we didnt use a car until the end of the week. We had an initial problem with the hot water but this was sorted out as soon as we rang and the problem solved. Its almost a week since we returned and I cant wait to go back. Thank you"
Review submitted by Robert & Linda from Macclesfield (Submitted: 16/08/2009)
"A lovely place in an ideal location. Villa is in an authentic Cypriot village but peaceful & private. You can walk to 2 mini-markets & several good cafes & tavernas. The house is large,comfortable & well equipped. The outdoor area is ideal with pool & lots of seating table & chairs for eating outside & plenty of strong sun loungers & 2 large sunshades. There is a very good BBQ & plenty of lemons & tomatoes growing in the garden. The owner,Theo, is very helpful: we had a welcome pack which included an excellent bottle of his familys home made wine. Although there are no instructions/information in the villa, Theo is available to answer any questions if you ring him & he lives nearby. We will definitely return."

"Beautiful villa in a lovely village. Owner very nice and accommodating - allowed us to stay late as we had a night flight at no extra charge. Photographs do not do justice to this villa. If youre looking for a quiet relaxing break then I would definitely recommend it."
Review submitted by Claire from Stoke-on-Trent (Submitted: 06/09/2008)
"Visited Aug 08. As soon as we opened the gates to the property we were hugely impressed, it looked fantastic! even though it was dark. We were delayed a little on the way out, so it was after midnight when we arrived, however, after another jaw dro pping experience when we let ourselves in, we found that Theo the owner had left us all the essentials in the fridge and a couple of very welcome bottles of local wine. ( You have to go to the winery, its great and the wine is beautiful) The four rooms are great. There is aircon, however we just used the couple of large fans provided, everything was spotless including all the appliances and we never ran out of hot water. I must mention the garden! We picked our own fruit n veg. Pool fab too. Theo was brilliant. Thanx loads to him n Steve G. Would not hesitate going again. Kathikas is wonderful. x x x x We will be back!"
"Brilliant villa that was everything & more than we expected. Very spacious, all mod cons provided & great welcome pack. Villa has been modernised to perfection (in my opinion) where everything is new but is in keeping with a traditional Cypriot built house. Pool & bathing area were private & plenty room. The village itself is very remote but that is what we expected & was a good base for Coral Bay (20 minute drive) & Lutchi, Polis, Paphos etc. At least 5 restaurants in village & 1 small pub which was English speaking. Locals were a bit reserved at first but we noticed by the end of our week they would say hello & even initiate conversation. Overall I would highly recomend this villa & hope to go back again sometime." Katrina from Falkirk, May 2008
"Really lovely, In hot weather the coolness of the house is ideal. Very helpful owner & agent. We loved the location among the vineyards & the wild flowers were breathtaking Friendly village with great tavernas Best supermarket in nearby Pegeia We found a great fish taverna in Polis Enjoyed the quieter north end of Coral Bay. We swam there & the water was beautiful. The ruins & nature trails are great too We will come again " Kirsti from London.
"Perfect place for a relaxing holiday nice location and a perfect host I was in Mrs Balls party.Hope to return again next year. Thanks to all hope to see you in 2008" Review submitted by Hazel from Aberdeen Scotland.
"What a fantasitc place. We arrived at 4am in the morning and found it very easliy with the intructions. We couldnt get to sleep as we where so amazed at wonderful the villa was. Theo had left us tea,milk wine bread and so much more including grapes from his own vines. We really would recommend this to anyone wanting beautiful villa and traditional greek village. We will certainly be trying to go again next year. Car is needed but the local restaurents are lovly. Theos cousins restaurant was stunning we had our last night there. " Breda from Fleet, July 2008
"Just wanted to say thank you so much for our wonderful holiday in Cyprus! We got home at 2am this morning and Im missing Villa Constanteras and the amazing weather so much already! We will definitely be in touch in the near future about renting the villa again and have already forwarded your details onto several friends. Take care and thanks again - we were all completely overwhelmed with the villa, my little boy woke up every morning amazed that we had a pool and I spent the first day just repeatedly saying "wow, I cant believe this place"!! All round massive thumbs up from our party!! Vikki - Very happy customer from Ipswich! " Aug 2008.
