The Famagusta region
Famagusta, on the south east corner of this beautiful island, is a region of fertile red soil, old windmills, and fabulous beaches, the best-known resort being Agia Napa. It also has a beautiful 16th century monastery and the breathtaking Cape Greco.
To the north are the villages of Liopetri, known for its basket-making, Sotira, with its small 15th and 16th century churches and Dherynia with its Folk Art Museum and the Cultural Centre of the occupied town of Famagusta, and viewpoints to look into this "ghost town". The whitewashed largest village in the area is Paralimni, which contrasts with the modern beach resort of Protaras.
The islands capital, Nicosia, is only an hours drive away and the beautiful Troodos mountains can be reached within a couple of hours offering breathtaking views and Winter skiing.
The Protaras / Pernera area
Pernera has many good quality restaurants and bars within a few minutes walk of our villa. This area offers a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere and the more vibrant resort of Protaras, is just some 10 minutes walk further on. There, you will find the lively bars and nightclubs. Many supermarkets, pharmacies and gift shops can be found in both areas.
Just a short stroll from our villa is the beautiful & sheltered bay of Louma, with its picturesque blue & white church. Its gentle sloping sandy shores give way to the crystal clear waters of the Med, where you can wade in & watch the tiny fish swim around your feet.
There are several Blue Flag beaches in this area, ranging from the quiet & peaceful ones to those offering jet ski hire & banana boat rides. The world famous Fig Tree Bay is only a ten minute walk & Konnos a short drive away.
Although there are several supermarkets locally, for 1.5euro you can also jump on the local bus & ride anywhere from Aiya Napa, some ten minutes to your south, to Paralimni, the largest village with bigger supermarkets, ten minutes to the north.
