The Paphos District
Whether you prefer fine dining, nightlife, golfing, culture, walking, shopping, markets or just relaxing Paphos area has something for everyone. Within easy reach are the traditional rural villages of Kouklia and Mandria.
Fancy something a bit more bustling? Then Paphos town is only approximately 10km away with many restaurants, tavernas, cafes, pubs, nightclubs, and shops. Whether you’re interested in culture or not a must see is Heritage Centre by the harbour. With an abundance of mosaics going back around 2,000 years you can’t fail to be impressed by the sheer size and precision of these tiny blocks of tiles. Wander round in awe then discuss them over lunch at one of the restaurants serving excellent food by the harbour. Children will be delighted to see the resident pelican!
The Tombs of the Kings on the aptly named road of the same name gives a glimpse into how life was for the more affluent ancient society of Paphos with it’s underground tombs. Thought to be tombs of wealthy business men rather than kings, this site is very much worth a visit.
Children energetic? They will love looking for turtles on the Akamas peninsula or you care tire them out (and yourselves) at Paphos’ new local attraction, The Aphrodite Water park.
Further afield are the busy port of Limassol (20 mins drive) and Larnaca (approx 1 hr 15 mins). Visit the capital Nicosia (approx 1hr 30 mins) as well as an abundance shops and restaurants, you can visit the observatory in the Shokalin Tower to learn about the Turkish invasion and gaze over to the Turkish side of the island.
Secret Valley Resort area
Villa Lima is well placed for access to the local golf courses. If you wonder how Secret Valley got it's name then take a short drive up from the coast and you will see why. Arguably the most picturesque of golf courses, this challenging par 71 course is on the edge of the Troudos mountains and has it's own natural waterfall in the winter months. In contrast, Aphrodite Hills, a 3 minute drive away is set on the top of the hillside and has tremendous views of the coastline. Tsada golf course is a short 20 minutes drive away and is situated on the top of the mountains with unparalled views. The energetic can do all three courses in one day!
Within easy reach of the villa are the beautiful rural villages of Kouklia, with traditional bars and restaurant, shop and Post Office, and Mandria with its own secluded beach, undisturbed coastline, shops, supermarket, bank and tavernas. Mandria village square is small and enticing. This was Cyprus 30 years ago with a couple of tavernas, a kiosk, and a co-op bank. There is a Greek Orthodox church in the heart of the village. Join the locals– they are very friendly people especially if there is a wedding!

Guestbook
This is the third time we have stayed at Villa Lima and we always have a fantastic time. The standard of furnishings and equipment is very high - a true home from home! The villa is peaceful and relaxing but there is plenty to do nearby. We hired cycles this time which were delivered to the door - a great bonus. Drs N & H M, Sheffield
