The Paphos region
Paphos is the birthplace of Aphrodite the 'Goddess' of Love and Beauty. 80% of the population of Paphos is English! The rest being Greek Cypriots & other cultures. Driving is on the left like it is in the U.K. with the road signs marked in both English and Greek. Nearly all the locals speak English so the town is really 'home to home' for the typical Brit with the added advantage of having year round sunshine! Average temperature in the summer is typically 30 degrees but it is not uncommon for the temperature to reach even 50 degrees! Average winter temp in say Dec is typically 10-15 degrees centigrade. The town has a rich Greek cultural heritage and is not too big like Nicosia (the capital) or Larnaca & Limassol. This is probably why people over the age of 30 prefer Paphos to the other cities/towns in Cyprus. getting around is very easy with good signage and lots of things to do like visiting Aphrodite rock / Bay, the golden sandy beaches of Coral Bay, the pine forrest of the Troodos & snow covered mountain of Mount Olympus where the drive to the top is breathtaking. For golf lovers there is the Secret Valley where there is the Jack Nicholas Championship Golf Course. In the summer there is scuba diving and a large Water Park. The town centre has many brand named shops and restaurants such as Pizza Hut, KFC, macdonalds, chinese and Indian restaurants. The Harbour front has cruise liners & yachts moored from the gulf states and there is a Roman Ruin housing the Mosiacs from the Greek Mytology Era. There are numerous nightclubs which stays open till 3 am in the morning. So Paphos is a town you will fall in love with easily.
The Peyia / Peyia Village area
The village of Peyia is approx 15 mins drive from Paphos town centre and is set in a very quiet and quaint location. Persons over the ages of 35 loves this area for good reasons - it is the ideal place to retire! Having said this though there is the short drive (5 mins) to the golden beach of Coral Bay and many people say that this is the best beach in the whole of Cyprus as the water is clear and calm - ideal for snorkelling & scuba diving so this area will appeal to all ages. Peyia village houses the town hall (municipality), a large supermarket and numerous restaurants and tavernas. There are the banks with numerous ATM's. Driving up the village leads to the mountains where one can view the whole of Cyprus - truely breathtaking!

For the price I and my friends paid for this villa it was a bargain. Comparing the price with other villas in the area we were not expecting the level of service we received. Firstly the owner got back to us straight away within 24 hours of first enquiry, then sent the detailed booking contract so everything looked very professional. I telephoned the owner who answered the phone straight away as I was a little reluctant to part with any money unless I could put a 'voice to a name'. I have been conned before with other owners & did not want to take risks this time. We were picked up by the owner's rep at the airport who took us to the villa, handed over the keys and showed us around the house. Once satisfied we handed over the remainder of the rental money (having paid 30% deposit six weeks before the trip.) With other owners we were expected to pay the full amount before arrival. This we thought was very fair and unusual - the owner of villa Sofia must have great confidence in his service and the renters! the villa itself was very clean and 'quaint' like a picture postcard & everything in the house worked properly. It was also very bright with sunlight coming into all the rooms. There was extensive mountain views and a little sea view. We had a 'welcome pack' on arrival with tea,coffee,orange juice,bread,eggs etc all freshly placed in the fridge & kitchen cupboards. All the rooms were very clean including the linen,bedshhets,towels etc. The furniture too were of good quality with the beds made of solid oak as was the dressing table. It was a shame however that we could not use the swimming pool as it was a little cold for the time of the year we went (March 2012.) The pool itself was well maintained and clean. Now the downsides: (1) There were some flats opposite the villa which were unfinished by another developer but this is the case all over Paphos as I have travelled there many times before. This did mean there were not many people in the vicinity of the villa which suited us as my friends and I wanted a quiet holiday with no 'nosey'neighbours around. The road where the villa was situated was a dead end road and there was only 2 villas including ours in that road so this suited us well. (2) Peyia village was a good 15 minutes walk but we were relatively young and fit so this did not bother us at all but it may to some other renters who do not hire a car or not so able to walk. By car the village was a 3 minutes drive. There was however an excellent restaurant serving 'local' food only 5 minutes walk from the villa. (3) The nightlife was non-existent in Peyia village with the bars & restaurants closing early but I suppose in the summer months they would be open late. However Coral Bay was a 5 minutes drive from the villa and we hired a car so this was not a problem as all the entertainment was based there. Finally I would like to add that when we wanted anything the owner's rep was always at hand and went out of his way to help us. An example being one day my friends and I were slightly worse for wear from a hangover from the night before and the rep bought us a packet of panadol from the pharmacy which we did not have & because we were over the limit we could not drive to the pharmacy he could see that as he was driving past the villa the next morning. Now that is what I call service! We would like to thank Dave the owner of villa Sofia for a great villa and a first class service and will definitely book this villa again in the future. |
