The Famagusta region

The Famagusta district has long been famed for its beautiful coastline, it covers a large part of the Island’s east coast and includes the town of Paralimni.

Villa Callista, is perfectly located as a holiday base to explore the Famagusta area, whether you’re looking for natural beauty and tranquillity or fun and adventure, this area has so much to offer.

Paralimni is the closest town to Kapparis, about 10 minutes drive, and is a great place to shop or spend some time people watching. If you enjoy shopping, there are plenty of shops to visit including local retail outlets, to the better known such as Marks and Spencer, Benetton and Carrefour. The centre of the town has a beautiful church situated in the centre of the town’s square, surrounded by coffee bars and local tavernas.

Other local holiday resorts in the area include the smaller resort of Pernera, and the larger family orientated resort of Protaras. Protaras, about 10 minutes drive away, has plenty to offer in the way of bars, tavernas, restaurants, beaches, and all types of different water sports for the more adventurous.

There are plenty of small coastal areas of cliffs and beaches to explore along this coast line, ideal for walking, or finding that secluded cove for sunbathing or snorkelling.

Not to be missed is the beautiful natural park of Cape Greco at the headland of the southeastern part of the island. It lies between the towns of Ayia Napa and Protaras and is a protected nature park with amazing views, cliffs and coves to explore.

One visit that is highly recommended is the capital of Cyprus, Nicosia, a bustling cosmopolitan city which is divided by the green line enforced by UN peace keepers. You can view the area of the city in no mans land, complete with buildings and even washing lines, that has been left derelict since the Turkish invasion, a fascinating piece of history.

For those with children to entertain, there is the renowned water park, Waterworld (www.waterworldwaterpark.com), one of the best water parks in Europe, in Ayia Napa. Right on the door step of Kapparis, is an aquarium and the local beaches have plenty of watersports on offer.

If you are looking for night life, Ayia Napa, the party capital of the island, 20 minutes drive away, has every type of bar, restaurant and nightclub that you can imagine, many sporting some outlandish themes!

The Protaras / Kapparis area

Often referred to as a hidden gem, Kapparis is somewhere between a village and a small town, as well as being a popular holiday resort and a firm favourite of local Cypriots from Nicosia. It is a quiet, tranquil, and scenic destination renowned for its beautiful beaches, crystal blue water and secluded coves.

There are several lovely beaches within a short walk (2 minutes) from the villa. Malama beach, situated at the end of the road, is a pretty cove with a sandy beach, and a sheltered spot where you can swim, sunbath or take advantage of the local water sports and facilities of the hotel. A short walk along the coastline brings you to Fireman's Beach, another of the main sandy beaches in the area, and if you continue along the coastline, there are many more beaches and coves to explore.

In recent years, it has seen an expansion in the number of tavernas, bars and restaurants, including an Italian restaurant and two Chinese restaurants. You will find these bars and restaurants are of a higher calibre than many of the other local resorts and as the Cypriots are family orientated, all welcome children.

For those self catering, there is a local supermarket, a bakery serving freshly baked bread and pastries, and if you don’t feel like cooking at the villa, many of the local restaurants offer a take away service.

On a final note, Kapparis is a safe place where you feel immediately comfortable and at ease with the warmth of the local Cypriot people and their hospitality.

“Excellent Villa accommodation.” Good communication from Fiona and answered all our queries prior to departure. A lovely villa in an excellent location, just 5 mins to the shops and bars without any hills or steps. Well maintained Villa with a good sized pool that is in the sun all day. We would recommend this to all as it is suitable for families and couples. You need are car to get to the Villa as it is 50 klms from the airport. The car hire at the airport includes a full, non-refundable tank of petrol which is a rip off unless you travel around the Island as we did and return it travelling on petrol fumes. There are Taxis but I don't know the cost. You can hire a car in the village if you only want one for part of your holiday. We enjoyed our week so much that we are looking at going back in April next year for our anniversary. Please try this Villa as we know you will enjoy it. Phil & Jane, Usk, Wales.
