Cyprus - a warm welcome is assured
It is very difficult to avoid stating the obvious about Cyprus. It is the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Goddess of love, so legend tells us, and it is hard to imagine more friendly helpful people with whom to spend a holiday.
It is an island to suit all tastes, cool in the Troodos mountains, hot sunny days by the sea, gourmet dining, noisy tavernas, history, discos, countryside and busy towns.
We have selected our luxury hotels in:
Limassol, Paphos, Aphrodite Hills, Coral Bay, Pissouri and Latchi.
The Prestige Portfolio hotels are in the following areas:
Limassol
Limassol is a large town with major involvement in the wine Industry, amongst much else (visitors to wineries are very welcome). The variety of nightlife is good. Most of our hotels are east of Limassol, on the beach. Points of interest include Crusader history and the Troodos mountains some 30 minutes’ drive away. There is an excellent range of excursions bookable through our representative.
Paphos
Our hotels are located either in town, or on the outskirts, each has beach access. In recent years Paphos has grown into a popular resort. The range of shops and restaurants is very good, but what makes Paphos so different is the remarkable amount of history it has.
Coral Bay
Coral Bay is becoming a more popular resort and is just a 10 - 15 minute drive from Paphos itself. This is a good base from which to explore the unspoilt, very beautiful west of the island.
Pissouri Bay
Pissouri is on the other side of Paphos tucked away on the South coast in unspoilt countryside and at the centre of a quiet 2km Blue Flag beach.
Latchi and the Akamas Peninsula
Latchi is on the edge of the Akamas Peninsula, a superb nature reserve. Latchi itself is a small fishing village with a beach and is near to the Baths of Aphrodite.
Please note: Air-conditioning is under hotel management control. We show official local hotel classifications.
Golf
There are four good courses at Tsada, Secret Valley, Aphrodite Hills and the new Elea Golf Club, designed by Nick Faldo.
Handicap Certificates required. We have full details including golf packages, do please ask.
Getting Around
Car Hire does give you so much freedom to explore this lovely island with its historical sites, wonderful mountains and country side, coastal areas and nature reserves. The roads are very good and like us Cyprus drives on the left!
Bus companies in Cyprus link all major towns together the most frequent services operate from Monday to Friday, there is a limited service on Saturdays and Sundays. Rural services between villages make frequent stops and although there are buses in towns like Limassol, for the tourist they don’t appear to be much use. Most things you need are within walking distance or a taxi ride would be more direct.
Taxis are widely available and reasonable for short journeys.
Local best buys include: Lefkara embroidery, wine, ceramics, and brass.
