Rural Accommodation A rural holiday gives the opportunity to participate in traditional activities, to eat in the village tavernas and enjoy the genuine hospitality of a rural community. Basic foodstuffs and other supplies, including fresh bread, vegetables and fruit can be bought locally in the villages. Ask the friendly villagers to let you in to the area’s best-kept secrets and then go and explore them for first-hand experience. Traditional houses Anyone who prefers the charm of a quiet, rural environment to the hustle and bustle of a tourist resort can opt to stay at a traditional house in a village, accommodation known in Cyprus as agrotourism. These properties are renovated traditional village houses. All have modern kitchens and bathrooms and are furnished with rustic furniture and soft furnishings in traditional weave. Most of the houses have a garden, where you can enjoy such delights as lemons fresh from the tree, and some even have a swimming pool too. You can enjoy the comfort of a house that will soon feel like home. 28
All the properties are licensed by the CTO and are maintained under the umbrella of the Cyprus Agrotourism Company, an affiliate company of the CTO and whose members are the owners of the houses. Most properties are open year-round, so are ideal for botanists, birdwatchers and hikers, for whom Cyprus in the early spring is a must. Tourist villas Scattered around the countryside are tourist villas offering high standards of accommodation. These are individual houses with pools, and many are built in local architectural style. Other accommodation There is a wide range of accommodation ranging from hotels to self-catering establishments, varying in size and capacity and offering everything from the very basic accommodation facilities to the most exclusive features. These are located in villages, such as Agros, Lefkara, Polis/Latsi, Kato Pyrgos, Drouseia, Neo Chorio, Lysos, Platres, Pedoulas, Kakopetria, Spilia and others. Camp sites The four camp sites licensed by the CTO are: Kalymnos Beach (Governor’s Beach), Lemesos (Limassol) District, and three in the Pafos district; Geroskipou Zenon Gardens; Feggari at Pegeia; and Polis Camping.
