Cyprus Holidays don’t get better than this. A private beach front area, stunning villas in the sun, a golf course nearby, make it yours today. Agios is very pleased to announce the addition of a select range of superior villas in Cyprus for your holiday enjoyment.

Cyprus Holidays

Of course this bouquet of villas doesn’t just apply to how you intend on spending your Cyprus holidays, we offer you a springboard from which you enjoy and discover the island of Cyprus. We generally tend to focus on villas that are in prime locations in Cyprus, and this generally covers three areas: beach front, golf resort and secluded villas in the middle of nowhere.

Let’s talk about the beach villas we mentioned earlier on. Located in Paphos by the main harbour area, these properties are newly built and all face the sea. Complete with marble interior, local stone exterior, gardens and private pools, these villas look the part. Many guest flying over from the states tend to worry about getting around, we drive on the left. As these villas are located sufficiently close to the airport – about 15 mins drive, we have a collection service for your convenience.

The kids can either spend time in the pool, or they can take a trot down to the sea and enjoy some time paddling in the sun. This particular project of holiday villas sports a private bar area right on the beach – pure class.

Let’s move on to the golf villas. Aphrodite Hills is the premier integrated resort in Cyprus and features a portfolio of stunning luxury villas, an Intercontinental hotel, spa, tennis academy, village square and restaurants. Agios has a number of villas on this holiday resort, and we want to share them with you, because if you are planning a holiday to the med, this is the place to go.

Contact us at any time or visit our website for more information.

There are a few different options when scouring the internet for villas in Cyprus for you to choose from so let’s go through the options.

Aphrodite Hills

This is perhaps one of the most popular destinations on the island when it comes to villa rentals. With their new contemporary designs, large gardens, heated swimming pools and proximity to the golf course and villas square amenities, there are many reasons why this resort is a priority on many peoples search lists.

One of the added benefits of Aphrodite Hills is that it is only 12 mins drive from Paphos airport. Added benefits include restaurants and mini supermarket on-site as well as a spa and tennis academy.

The biggest selling point is the Aphrodite Hills Kids Club.

Pissouri

A very scenic location in Cyprus, Pissouri is our personal favourite. It is a quiet, stunning location with a lovely beach, perfect for the family holidays. The bay and village itself of course boast a selection of restaurants to choose from and we highly recommend visiting this area of Cyprus even if not booking a villa here.

Coral Bay Paphos

This is mainstream Paphos, being a seaside town it is going to be very popular with tourists.  Agios does boast an extensive range of beachside holiday villas in the Paphos and Coral Bay areas.

Ecology: Pafos forest

The €8 million Integrated Management Plan for the Pafos forest finalised by the forestry department provides for the increased protection of the flora and fauna.

The Plan for covers an extended area of 60.000 ha equal at about 50% of public forest land. The Pafos Forest includes large number of ecosystems and particularly important biotopes and habitats where important and rare vegetation and animals live and are developed. The unique and most important plant society of the Cyprus Cedrus along with the unique population of the Cyprus “Agrino” (moufflon) gives the area of the Pafos Forest a huge environmental value.

The Pafos forest is the biggest and most important biotope of Cyprus where rare birds nest along with a large number of endemic plants and fauna species. The Pafos Forest area is characterized as Special Protection Area (SPA), Important Community Site of NATURA 2000, National Park (12.000ha), Nature Protection Area (5.000ha) and Permanent Forest Area according to forest law. Forest management is conducted under the Department of Forests of Cyprus.

If nature is important to you, Pafilia offers some exceptional properties bordering the Pafos forest in the area of Polis, including apartments starting at €123,500 and houses from €174,000 in Polis Gardens , houses from €199,000 in Prodromi Gardens , villas from €575,000 in Pine Sea View Villas  and luxury beach villas starting from €950,000 in Amorosa Villas.

The village Tremithousa or Trimithousa is located about 4 kilometers northeast of Pafos at an altitude of 270 meters above sea level.

It is renowned for the tasty aromatic honey that is produced in the area. Other productions in the area include vines, vegetables, cereals, forage plants, citrus, almond, and walnut trees and more.

Tremithousa connects to the north to the monastery of Agios Neofytos, to the northeast with the village of Tala, and to the east with the main road of Pafos – Polis, within few minutes drive to Minthis Hills Golf.

The village already existed during the Medieval times and during the era of Frank domination.

Tremithousa took its name from the “Tremithia”. Tremithia (Terebinth) is a tree that was found in large quantities in the surrounding area. Thus the name Tremithousa or Trimithousa implies an area that is filled with Terebinth trees. Indeed, in the old times the village was known for its production of “Pafitiki Pissa” (gum of Pafos), which is made out of the resin of the Terebinth tree.

Today there is a thriving residential and tourism in the region of Tremithousa thanks to an excellent micro climate, its magnificent panoramic views to the sea, its traditional village atmosphere, all within short proximity to the sea, Pafos town and Minthis Hills Golf.

Pafilia’s exclusive Tremithousa Chorio development is located in the hillside village of Tremithousa and comprises 10 detached villas and sea view apartments.

The development is ideally located with easy access to the main Pafos to Polis Road. The immediate vicinity has recently attracted a growth of village shops catering for the day-to-day needs of the local residents. Tremithousa Chorio is also only minutes drive from the Pafos International School, Minthis Hills golf course and Pafos town.

The last 3 bedroom apartments are available at a bargain price starting from €210,000 only!

Pafilia Property Developers in Cyprus – Reviews oldest wine in production – 23 September 2010 – Cyprus Property Developer.

Cyprus has the oldest wine in the world that is still in production, Commandaria or Commanderia .  It’s not one for purists and is really a fortified wine – excellent for cooking, but it has a long history going back supposedly around 4000 years, when Homer mentions a sweet wine produced in Cyprus.

It is made from the local Cyprus mavro and xinisteri grapes and its name derives from the Gran Commanderie, an area surrounding Kolossi Castle which can be found just west of Limassol.  The Castle was the Commanderia  or headquarters of the Knights Templars in the 12th Century. The wine was consumed locally, supposedly by the Knights and also exported to many European Royal Courts.  Legend has it that, during his Marriage with Berengaria, in the 12th century Richard the Lionheart pronounced Commandaria to be the “wine of the kings and the king of the wines”.

The Cyprus Tourism Organisation has created a number of wine routes around Cyprus that enable you to make a day of it, sampling wines from numerous vineyards will touring villages throughout Cyprus, some around Pafos, Limassol and up into the Troodos.  Cyprus wine is gaining reputation and today there are many boutique wineries producing some excellent red, white and rose wines.

For those of you wishing to sample some of the wines in the area, the closest to Minthis, Tsalapatis has a lovely Sauvignon Blanc, as well as a number of good reds and rose wines that merit a trip to the winery for a wine tasting.  Another winery, currently growing organic as well as traditional wines which is growing in reputation is Tsangarides Winery in Lemona village, slightly further away.  The Cyprus Tourist Board has created a number of wine routes for those of you wishing to do a complete wine tour, though we would advise not driving yourselves!
