It is possible to walk from here to orchards and beyond. There is a large tiled roof terrace with stunning views to sea and mountains. Access is via a spiral staircase from the pool and also a large staircase from the front of the house. There is garden furniture and a barbecue for dining outdoors. There are 6 comfortable sunbeds and mattresses. The private pool is 4m x 8m with steps and handrail and it has coloured underwater lights perfect for the evening! The pool and patio area has outdoor lighting.
Coast/Beach
The nearest beach is at the bottom of the hill in the village. It is 2 minutes by car. The beach has stony and sandy areas. Driving along the coast road a short distance to Demitris Taverna there is a sandy stretch where one can enjoy the beach and facilities. Another popular sandy beach is 10 minutes drive away near Latchi at Tsakis beach.
Golf
There are three golf clubs in the Paphos area with Tsada being the closest to the villa. Tsada golf course is approximately a half hour drive from the villa going towards Paphos. The other two are Aphrodite Hills and Secret Valley both situated nearer Paphos.
The Tsada Golf Club is set in the grounds of a 12th century monastery which lies in a gentle picturesque valley, 550m above sea level. Created by Donald Steel, this is an 18 hole par 72, 6208m course designed in two loops of nine. It offers superb variety as no two holes are the same and is suitable for players of all abilities. The fairways are lined with thousands of trees and scattered with sand bunkers claiming any misplaced shots. Undulating greens have perfect putting surfaces. The club-house facilities include a restaurant, bar, changing rooms, with showers and saunas, swimming pool, driving range and a putting green.
Skiing
Skiing is possible in the Troodos mountains during the winter, usually until March. There are four runs for beginners through to advanced skiers. Equipment can be hired. Today many hundreds of Cypriots and perhaps as many foreigners enjoy the wonderful sport of skiing every winter on the beautiful slopes of Mt Olympus.

The nearest airport is Paphos which is a 45 minute drive. Car hire is essential. Arrangements can be made to be met at the airport and driven to the villa and back to the airport if required; this is included in the price of the hire car by the local company we recommend.
