About the home

The Great Kings is located in Kapparis, locally accepted as the "up and coming" area on the eastern side of the island. Kapparis is home to two stunning beaches, most notably "Firemans beach" which is either a 2 minute drive or 15 minute walk from the complex. Although Kapparis is traditionally quieter than its neighbouring tourist hotspots, guests will still easily be able to sample abit of both with Protaras (5 minutes) and Ayia Napa only a 10 minute drive from the complex.

The focal point for the complex is the large pool area comprising of a large swimming pool and smaller children's paddling pool. The area is bathed in sunshine from dawn "till" dusk. The complex also benefits from the use of an on-site kiosk selling refreshments throughout the day and a tennis court for guests who wish to remain active! Guests will also have full use of a communal sun terrace which overlooks the pool area.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The apartment is furnished to a very high standard with the latest modern appliances and equipment installed. It is fully air conditioned throughout with two modern units located in the bedroom and living area. I have specifically furnished the apartment with comfort and ease of use in mind. The large double sofa bed is extremely comfortable and assembles in seconds. The double bed includes an orthopaedic mattress and provides a great nights sleep. The kitchen and bedroom blinds "black out" light to offer both privacy and keep out heat and light. A breakfast bar is located in the kitchen and is equipped with three modern bar stools.

Further details outdoors:
The apartment enjoys a large balcony which benefits from summer sunshine in the morning and shade in the afternoon. It is equipped with a modern table and chair set, again with comfort in mind. The block has full use of a communal roof terrace which overlooks the pool area. The roof terrace enjoys sunshine from dawn "till" dusk . The apartment has its own designated covered parking area, so guests can rest in the knowledge that a parking space is always available. The outdoor communal pool is the focal point for the complex and again will enjoy sun all day long. A children's paddling pool adjacent to the main pool will ensure your children are kept entertained. Guests will also have full use of the tennis court, and I have even provided 2 Wilson Tennis rackets and balls so there is no need to worry about packing the extra items! There is an on site kiosk which will provide refreshments thorughout the day.

The Famagusta region

The Famagusta district located on the eastern side of the island, is host to some stunning locations and arguably the most beautiful beaches in Cyprus. Towns such as Paralimni, Ayai Napa, Kapparis, and Protaras are all close by. The island of Cyprus enjoys on average over 300 days of sunshine per year. Temperatures are warm throughout, with averages in the summer above 30 degrees and 18 degrees in the winter. The sea temperatures remain warm from May until late October.

The Protaras / Kapparis area

Kapparis is locally accepted as the new "up and coming" area in the Famagusta district. A number of bars and restaurants now line the main street. Most notibly "Faliros" which serves local cuisine. Several small supermarkets and bakeries are also located on the main street. Further amenities include a launderette and internet cafe. The beaches in Kapparis are beautiful, with "firemans beach" and "Ayia Triada" being my personal favourites. Nearby guests will be able to visit Ayia Napa and Protaras where there a more stunning beaches to be explored, the best known being "fig tree bay" in Protaras and "Nissi bay" in Ayia Napa. Konnos bay is located between the two towns and is arguably the best beach on the island and an absolute "must see". A marina and award winning water park are also very close by.

- Nearest Airport - Larnaca (63km) (approximately 40-45 minutes transfer time).
- Carhire available from www.economycarrentals.com or comparison sites www.kayak.com or www.travelsupermarket.com.
- Taxi services from Larnaca cost approximately 50euros each way.

I would personally recommend renting a car for the duration of your stay, as the cost of a two way taxi journey will almost off set the price of renting a car for a week, whereby guests will be able to make the most of their holidays. The journey itself is incredibly easy, the airport is located next to the main A3 motorway linking Larnaca to the eastern side of the island, and ends at Ayia napa, from here the Great kings is approximately 10km.

“Lovely clean,well equiped apartment” We stayed at the Great Kings apartment in November 2011.The complex was very well maintained and clean. There is a lovely big pool but I was only brave enough to go in twice,as it was very cold, it being the start of winter. The apartment is clean,well equiped and spacious for two people. The ownner Steve was very helpful and made everything stress free.There is a lovely English couple who live near the complex who can give help and advice should you need it.

“A great appartment” Upon first making enquiries into this appartment, the correspondence and information from the owner was second to none. Emails were always quickly responded to with adequate information regarding payments required and received. I had no hesitation in asking for further advice regarding car hire and directions, all the information provided was extremely accurate. My partner and I had never hired a car abroad before and following the owners directions took us straight there which at 2.00AM in the morning was very reassuring. The appartment itself is very modern, bright, clean and comfortable, and the complex itself was also very clean. The only thing that i could think of to improve staying at this appartment would be the kiosk being opened in order to buy cold drinks.

“Fantastic Holiday!” Had a great stay for over three weeks at the Great Kings. Set just outside a lovely Cypriot village with traditional, inexpensive restaurants where hospitality is the keyword along with great food. The apartment itself is spacious (palatial when compared to my sister's hotel room), modern and well equipped. I would definitely recommend hiring a car as the roads in the village do not have pavements and walking was difficult at times (especially in 100degree heat). Also, the swimming pool was spotlessly clean and lovely and warm - we stayed in there until 8pm on some nights. Cannot wait for my return visit - hopefully for 4 weeks next August.

“Great apartment, Great Location, Great time!” My new wife and I stayed at Steve's apartment for our honeymoon in June 2011. It was like a home from home with every creature comfort you could wish for. It was ideally located within walking distance of the local shops, restaurants and beaches. The complex is very clean and the pool is amazing! I would reccommend Steves apartment to anyone wanting a stress free get away. 10 out of 10!

“If only we had good weather, that would be the best place to be.” My partner and I spent two weeks in Cyprus at Steve's apartment. All we needed was there, felt like our own place, not like something you rent. Kitchen was perfectly furnished and so the rest of the apartment. However as we were not very lucky with the weather I have to mention few things. - For longer stay you definitely need a car. It's a must. - High quality satellite TV was our good friend during the sand storm. - Free tennis curt was great alternative if you can not go to the beach. - In cold days you have to preheat the water for the shower, which means you have to wait 15-30min before you take it. - Unfortunately walls in the building are very thin and we witnessed few fights between neighbors. The place itself is very quite, but it also means you can hear absolutely everything what is happening around. But again if only we had good weather, that would be the best place to be. Response: Thankyou very much for your review, its contents of which are noted. Just a quick point regarding the noise heard from the neighbours. These issues were recently raised as a concern and as a result of which, the family causing the problems who were long term residents have been politely asked to leave! Since this time I have had no similar reports of noise. The complex is usually such a quiet place hence the prompt response in solving such issues. Thankyou once again for your comments.

“Perfect Apartment for a relaxing holiday” This apartment offers everything required for a perfect self catering holiday. All equipment is modern & of a very high standard. Our day always started with a trip to either Fig Tree Bay at Protarras or Nissi Bay at Ayia Napa, both within a10 mins car ride. ( there are also some lovely beaches within 3-4 mins drive at Kapparis) We would then return to the apartment & relax on sun beds provided by the fantastic pool complex. The evenings were spent having a glass of wine on the balcony before walking to the restaurants for an evening meal (approx 15 mins). We found Faliros to be consistently good & very reasonably priced. But for a special occasion Folio offered an absolute fantastic meal. To summarise, we couldn't fault the apartment,complex & the service that Steve gave. I would recommend car hire from the airport. A weeks car rental almost paid for return taxi transfers & is so much cheaper if booked well in advance (i.e Argus car hire). Would certainly use again.

“Lovely apartment/complex in gorgeous Cyprus! Already re-booked!” My partner and I decided to visit Cyprus once again this year having visited the Island several times before. This time however we decided to book our own apartment as opposed to the package deals we had previously opted for. The booking was easy and hassle free with a small deposit required from the outset. Keys were sent to our home in the UK so we were safe in the knowledge there would be no hic-ups on our arrival. When we arrived at the complex we were taken aback by the cleanliness and standard of the facilities. The apartment itself was stunning. It was very clean and modern, equipped with everything we could have wanted and more. The bed was extremely comfortable and something that I am usaully quite "fussy" about so that was a relief. Kapparis is a pleasant "strip" with plenty of bars, restaurants and supermarkets to choose from. We ate out most evenings, Faliros and Folio in Kapparis were our picks although The Sage restaurant in nearby Ayia Napa was equally as good. We had decided to rent a vehicle and I am glad we did as it made travelling around so much easier and hassle free. The nearby beaches in Kapparis are lovely but the best beaches we found were in Protaras and Ayia Napa which is a 10-15 minute drive from the apartment. I really cant recommend this apartment highly enough, the owner was a pleasure to deal with and made the holiday hassle free from the start. We liked it so much we have booked again for November! Can't wait!

“Excellent Value for Money” Very nice, clean apartment and well equipped both technically and practically. I would recommend having your own transport and an allocated parking space is provided. The complex was quite busy with... more
