Where to stay in Cyprus?
Hello,
I'm looking for places to stay in Cyprus that are off the beaten path...maybe small bungalows on the beach.
I'm not interested in resorts. I can get those in Miamia Beach. =)
Money is not a huge deal.
Thanks!

Hi sydpassin. Try agrotourism.com.cy plus do your own google seach of agrotourism in Cyprus for lots of websites for off the beaten track places.
On the beach and inbetween Paphos and Coral Bay (not feeling part of a resort at all) are waves-villas.com. Haven't stayed there but we did go to look at the two or three villas they have as we had tried to book one but they were full. Private pool and great view to the sea.
Last year we used irisvillas.com who specialise in off the beaten track villas. We stayed one week in a village higher up from Coral Bay (peyia), a 5-10 minute drive away but cooler in the height of summer.
The 2nd week we spent in a villa in a small village with only about 3 bars/restaurants (very cheap food and alcohol!), not that far from Latchi and Polis and their beaches, but high up and close to part of the Troodos Mountains.
It was still 'keep under the parasol' too hot (August) but cooler than the low coastal areas.
Certainly felt like you were living amongst the locals - no other tourists!
Don't know if you only want places that are right on the beach so I will only give our village retreat villa name if asked. (too beautiful and perfect to share )
Other websites which may be useful:
villaselect.co.uk
paphos-villas.com
cyprus-holiday-villas.com
somethingspecial.com
paphos-villas.co.uk
pafos-villas.com
venusvillas.co.uk
villaspaphoscyprus.com
aphroditesun.com
holiday-cyprus.com
villasdiamond.com
Have a great time

Thank you so much for all the helpful information.
I just found out today that flights doubled in price this week and now I'm not sure if my husband and I will make it to Cyprus. It seems ridicules to pay $650/person for a 40 minute flight.
Hopefully a miracle will happen and flights will go back down again. =)
Thanks again.

Go to North Cyprus and try going up the 'Pan Handle' if you want to get away from it all. The North is far cheeper and the people are some of the most hospitable you will ever meet and crime is non existant. Miles of unspoilt country side with empty wonderful beaches where turtles still nest. Noth Cyprus is paradise in the Med.

Try Villa Paradise :

As for the North Part is not legal so it is a risk and unsafe to go there
Bye

When I see that the tickets are actually issued and in my hand, I will start a new thread on trying to figure out how to spend our week (Sep 30 to October 7) there. In the meantime, will appreciate any other worthwhile links here. Havne't even begun to think about an itinerary - - and not ruling out a 2-3 day side excursion to Athens? or Rhodes? or any other low-priced side trip possibility come to mind?
I realize that you have stated (here? elsewhere?) that a week can easily be filled on Cyprus alone, but I think my wife would really like to see some of other Greece, and who kows when we will get there (especially when I allow serendipity to choose the skeleton of my Europe trips for me!)

Well, it has crossed my mind - - but I think I would rather study Greek (I realize that Cyrpus is reported to be very English-friendly). I am curious about basing a few days in/on Rhodes (closest island at about 200 miles? do I have that right?)
Will listen carefully to what Sheila has to say. And not count my chickens before they hatch (this, and the dialogue between myself and Gardyloo is in reference to the near-giveaway fare of $39 CAD biz class Toronto-Cyprus which some of us think we were able to purchase today as a "mistake" fare - - assuming that Alitalia actually honors the fare!)

The standard side trip from Cyrus is the Holy Land. Israel and Egypt, sometimes the Greek Isles. But, frankly, Rex, I thought better of you
Cyprus is a big island; there is no reason to leave it in as short a period as a week.
If you got the flight, base yourself in the West. The best artefacts and antiquities are there anyway.
