Coast/Beach
There are numerous beaches near the apartment - the best and nearest is at Coral Bay, with it's many bars and restaurants and safe swimming in the clear, blue waters of the Mediterranean, only 10 minutes drive away. All along the coastline are very interesting coves and inlets to explore by car; not forgetting turtle beach, where the turtles come to lay their eggs once a year.
Special interest holidays
For those of you who are budding historians, Cyprus is a conglomerate of very fascinating sites - there are Roman sites to visit (including the amphitheatre at Curricum still in use today), Roman mosaics and ruins at St. Paul's Pillar in Kato Paphos; Crusader castles at Limassol; and not forgetting the Tombs of the Kings of Cyprus on your very doorstep (just 10 minutes drive away
The nearest airport to the complex is Paphos, which is 25 minutes away. There are taxis available - the fare is approximately 26 to 35 euros, depending on the time of day/night. The other airport is Larnaca, which is approximately two hours away. The taxi fare from there would be between 80 to 90 euros. Buses to and from the harbour (Kato Paphos) and Coral Bay are frequent and inexpensive. Whilst car hire is not necessary, it is recommended to enable you to see all the places of interest to you.
Distances
As car hire is not necessary but recommended, and as Cypriots drive on the left (as in England) it is an easy way to see the island. The further inland you go, the less cars you will see! There are many old villages, such as Omodos, an old craft village where you can spend the day just wandering around their narrow car free streets, just 40 minutes away, just waiting to be discovered; as well as monasteries, wineries, fishing villages, etc. Maps/tourist information available.
Ski:
Skiing
In the winter season, Cyprus is quite unique... in the Troodos mountains (hour and 10 minutes drive away) you can be skiing in the morning and in the afternoon sunbathing by the pool (or beach if you prefer).
Golf:
Within 30-45 minutes drive, there are two award winning golf courses (Secret Valley and Aphrodite Hills), as well a golf course nearer to the complex at Tsada (about 20 mins away). There is also another very interesting course at the Combined Forces Base in Eskipoti (about an hour away) - not so green, and not so expensive, but still very challenging to play a round on.
