The Paphos District
The old town of Paphos remains typically Cypriot with winding streets lined with restaurants, open-air cafes and ancient churches. It also boasts a wonderful indoor market selling a colourful selection of fruits and vegetables.
The lower and newer part of town is known as Kato Paphos and is more of a tourist area. Here you will find an endless choice of restaurants, bars, souvenir shops and a quaint little harbor offering excellent fish taverns overlooked by Paphos castle.
Interesting sites in Paphos are The Mosaics (located in Kato Paphos) where amazing mosaics have been beautifully preserved for 16 centuries in the house of Dionysus. The Tombs of the Kings (Kato Paphos) where a wide area of underground tombs were carved out of solid rock creating burial chambers for ancient nobles.
Approximately 15km east of Paphos you can see Aphrodite's Rock. This impressive landmark is where Aphrodite (Greek goddess of love) is said to have risen from the waves.
PLACES OF INTEREST TO VISIT:
Tombs of the Kings Wide area containing underground tombs carved out of solid rock dating to 4th century BC, many decorated with Doric pillars. Whether Kings were buried here or not, the magnificence of the tombs gave the locality its name.
The Mosaics of Paphos House of Dionysos, House of Theseus and the recently excavated House of Aion. Kato Paphos, near the harbour.
The amazing mosaic floors, of these 3rd century AD noblemens' villas are considered among the finest in the Eastern Mediterranean. They mostly depict scenes from Greek mythology and are beautifully executed.
Paphos Odeon A small 2nd century Odeon entirely built of well-hewn limestone blocks. It was uncovered by the Cyprus Department of Antiquities in 1973-4 and is now regularly used for musical and theatrical performances.
Paphos Castle Kato Paphos, originally built as a Byzantine fort to protect the harbour, was rebuilt by the Lusignans in the 13th century, then dismantled by the Venetians in 1570, who found themselves unable to defend it against the Ottomans, who in turn restored and strengthened it after they captured the island.
Mandria / Ayia Irini area
Mandria is a beautiful rural village on the outskirts of Paphos with its own secluded beach, shops, supermarket, bank and tavernas within walking distance. The undisturbed coastline is just 2 minutes away. Mandria has been referred to as the new residential coastline of Paphos.
Mandria village is not far from Paphos airport with access to the motorway. It is not far from two of the major golf courses on the island, Secret Valley and Aphrodite Hills where you are able to use many of the facilities such as the intercontinental hotel, tennis courts and horse riding.
The village encompasses the flavour of Cyprus as it must have been 30 years ago. The village square is small and inviting. Situated in the square are 2 tavernas, a kiosk, and a co-op bank. There is a Greek Orthodox church in the heart of the village.
Paphos town is only a 10 minute drive away with many tavernas, pubs, nightclubs, cafes, restaurants, and shops. The Aphrodite Water park is also close by which is great for families. The harbour at Paphos is a popular attraction all year round, and with good reason! Take a walk along the quay and maybe enjoy a meal at one of the fish restaurants, tavernas or cafes while taking in the superb view of the colourful fishing boats bobbing in the harbour.
The famous Aphrodite's Rock is just 10 minutes from the Villa offering spectacular scenery and an ideal spot for swimming. Best of all, after enjoying a day out, you can come back to your quiet retreat at Villa Sofia and relax.

Guestbook
"Thank you for the wonderful holiday we had in Villa Sofia. The standard of the villa is of high quality, luxuary furnishings and beautifully appointed. The pool surroundings were great and we even swam every day even though we visited in November!" Janice & Alan, London, UK 18/11/07
"Villa Sofia is offered in truly excellent condition and is exceptionally well appointed. Joulietta and her father offer a high quality service, without impeding on your privacy or time at the property. The villa is less than 15 minutes drive from the primary Paphos tourism area and less than 10 minutes from the airport. A car is essential, although you can walk to the nearby beach in less than 15 minutes. The beach is secluded and although pebbled, the water is extremely clean to swim/bathe in. If you are looking for a quiet hideaway for a week with good access to local or less local tourist spots, this is an ideal villa in a good location. Without question, we would definitely stay here again. Thanks Joulietta." Lionel & Sophie, Chichester, UK 25/10/07
"The villa could not have been better appointed. It had everything we needed and more than you would expect to find. Jouiletta was brilliant. The service level was superb. I can thoroughly recommend her father's meals. We ate 3-4 and they were of a higher standard than anything we found in the restaurants. An appraisal of the villa - it was excellent." Jenny, London, UK 03/10/07
"Wonderful property, very tastefully furnished, although on an estate, it was very quite even though near to airport."-Julie Walters, Anglesey, UK 08/09/2007
"A very clean and comfortable villa, with a fabulous pool which was definitely its number one selling point. The villa was in a nice quiet location which helped make our holiday even more relaxing. We found the property's manager to be very friendly and professional, and just at the end of the phone if we needed anything. We would definitely go back . . ." -Toni, East Grinstead, UK - 24/08/2007
"A wonderful relaxing holiday in Villa Sofia. We were very impressed with the high standard of the villa and excellent facilities. We were made to feel very welcome by Joulietta and her Mum and Dad, who are all lovely people. We especially enjoyed the swimming pool. We highly recommend the delicious food cooked by Joulietta's father. The main aim of our holiday was to relax with our good friends and we certainly achieved this. Many thanks and we hope to visit again.-Evans Family , Brierley Hill, UK 21/07/2007
"A very relaxing holiday in a beautiful villa. Such high standards are maintained here which help to keep the relaxed feeling flowing. Villa Sofia is a credit to Joulietta and her family. All this and delicious home cooked food too! It's a must for any guests. We will most certainly recommend 'Sofia' and Mandria to our friends and relatives. Thank you for a great time, hopefully to be repeated."-Foster Family , Tipton, UK 4/08/2007
