Home description
Sirena Pafia is our luxury 2 bed apartment in Paphos, recently completed, and part of a small development built around a pool. The apartment is in an excellent location on the edge of a quiet residential area and yet within minutes walking distances from the many and varied amenities of Paphos.
The 2 bed apartment in Paphos is ideally situated, midway between the main tourist areas of Kato (or lower) Paphos, with features such as: a picturesque and pedestrianised harbour, safe beaches, historical and archaeological sites and many bars, restaurants and shops; and Pano (upper) Paphos containing the residential, retail and commercial areas.
Our ground floor apartment is very spacious and has been built to a very high specification by Costas Gavrielides & Sons Ltd - a leading local property developer with an unrivalled reputation for building to the highest quality standards. The living accommodation comfortably sleeps 4, making it an ideal choice for families and couples. The apartment is fully air conditioned and in addition all rooms are fitted with ceiling mounted fans.

The Paphos District
The region of Paphos spans the whole of the western part of Cyprus, and located within the region are the acclaimed resorts of Coral Bay, Polis and Latchi. To the eastern side of the region lies Paphos International Airport, which is only a 20-minute drive from our 2 bed apartment in Paphos.
Cyprus has a superb Mediterranean climate enjoying an average of 340 days of sun a year and a very low annual rainfall. August is the hottest month but the temperatures rarely exceed 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit) and in Paphos during the summer months the sun is always accompanied by a gentle breeze blowing off the sea. During the coolest part of the year, between December and March, the daytime temperatures are still in the range 16-18 degrees C, and during this period the night-time temperature rarely drops below 7 degrees C. Rainfall during the summer months is virtually non-existent and even in winter, on those days when it does rain it only does so for part of day and the norm is that the sun very quickly appears.
A short car or bus journey from Sirena Pafia is the resort of Coral Bay, famed for having one of the most beautiful sandy beaches on the island, and with its sparkling clear waters, safe swimming and sports facilities – this is a favourite with tourists and locals alike. Another must is Lara Bay, a beautiful remote area with one of the best beaches on the island, which is famed for its turtle hatchery where loggerhead and greenback turtles lay their eggs, one of the few places in the Mediterranean where they can still be found, Lara is also home to the Mediterranean monk seal, another very rare species.
The Akamas peninsula situated to the north west of Paphos is a unique area with outstanding varied vegetation, wildlife, landscapes and coasts. Adonis baths, a two level waterfall is well worth visiting where, according to Greek mythology, Adonis the lover of Aphrodite used to bathe; here you will have the opportunity of swimming and swing from a rope into the refreshing mountain waters. On the south coast of the island, on one of the most beautiful beaches, lies “Petra tou Romiou”, the location where Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love emerged from the sea. Aphrodite’s Rock is a massive chunk of stone that marks the spot; her birthplace was a place of pilgrimage for the entire Hellenic world.
Churches and monasteries are plentiful and include the churches of Ayia Solomoni, originally a Christian catacomb of the 9th century; Panayia Chrysopolitissa, built in the 13th century over the ruins of the largest Byzantine basilica on the island and where can be seen St Paul’s Pillar, where it is said Saint Paul was flogged at some time before Roman Governor Sergius Paulus converted to Christianity; and Panayia Theoskepasti. The monasteries of Panagia tou Sinti and Ayios Neophytos are well worth visiting.
Kato Paphos / Sirena Pafia area
Paphos and the surrounding area offer many opportunities to enjoy different types of holiday: quiet, lively or a mixture of both either relaxing by a pool/beach or more energetic activities such as walking or sightseeing.
There are four main sandy beaches, some offering a wide variety of water sports, lying within short walking distances from Sirena Pafia.
Many different types of water sports are available including: scuba diving, parascending, jet skiing and windsurfing.
A short journey away is the very popular Aphrodite Water Park and within the centre of the town itself is the Paphos Aquarium.
Three international standard golf courses lie within a 20 minute drive from the centre of Paphos: Aphrodite Hills (6200m par 72); Secret Valley (5904m par 71) and Tsada (6060m par 72).
There are many historical and archaeological sites within Paphos, so many in fact that UNESCO has designated the whole town to its World Cultural Heritage List. These include the archaeological museum, the House of Dionysus with its impressive mosaics, the Tombs of the Kings and the medieval fort at the harbour, from where boat trips (day and night) operate.
Scores of restaurants in Paphos cater for all tastes and all sizes of pockets. Many are found along the sea front and the harbour area and all are well within walking distances of Sirena Pafia. Whatever your choice you will always find the quality of food and the service is of the highest standard.
Paphos is renowned for its nightlife and ideally for clubbers most of the late night bars are conveniently located in Bar Street - well within walking distance, yet out of earshot of Sirena Pafia!
How to get there
The easiest and most convenient way of coming to Sirena Pafia is to fly into Paphos International Airport, which is well served by many international airlines as well as by many package tour operators.

Vehicles can be hired from and returned to Paphos airport and during the summer months vehicle hire is best arranged in advance. Car hire is especially convenient during your holiday as Cypriots drive on the left. A local bus service also operates from the airport to the town centre.
