Agrotourism




Over the last 4 years, Cyprus has received grants from the European Union to preserve and promote its natural heritage. So this means that many village houses, old mills, barns etc have been converted often into sweet little places away from it all where you can stay. This is definitely an option you should consider if you want a much more rural, away from it all time on the island. You will definitely need a car to get around. You will no doubt be in beautiful surroundings where you can go for long walks, hikes, sit in the village coffee shop and generally relax. The beach in most cases is never far away!

I have heard lovely things about these places, but have not personally stayed at any of them. It is also unlikely if you do go for the package deal thing to get to Cyprus,that any of the agrotourism places are available.

The properties can vary in size so you can find anything from just a room for two to larger houses which can sleep up to 8. Most will have been restored with the traditional characteristics of that area.

Later! x
