Local Villages

Tala
Tala has become one of the premier locations in the Pafos region, yet the village still retains its traditional character with small shops and tavernas set round the central square and church. High on a hill, Tala enjoys uninterrupted, panoramic views and is a scenic mountain walk (or nail-biting drive) away from the nearby Adonis Falls.

Well connected and easily accessible by main road, the village lies just 5km north of the coast and is located halfway between Pafos and the sandy beaches of Coral Bay and Corallia. The airport is just a 30 minute drive away.

Places of interest nearby Tala include: the Adonis Falls; Ayios Neophitos Monastery.

Tsada
A small residential village set high on a hill in a tranquil setting, Tsada is well connected to Pafos just 5kms away by the main northerly road to Polis. A lush, green area, Tsada is the ideal location for its 18-hole championship golf course.

Places of interest nearby Tsada include: the Tsada Golf course and, just a short drive away,monasteries and traditional villages from Kallepeia to Yiolou.

Chloraka
A tourist and residential hillside village just a few minutes' walk from the coast and 3km northwest from Pafos Harbour. The small village centre has all the usual amenities and is bordered by luxury villas and apartments to the south and east and banana plantations to the west.

Emba
A large residential village 2km north of the coast and a short distance northwest of upper Paphos, Emba is on flat land surrounded by agricultural fields. In addition to shops, cafes and tavernas, Emba has its own small theatre and a lovely 12th Century domed church with impressive frescoes and iconostasis.

Geroskipou (Yeroskipou)
The largest of the suburban villages, Geroskipou borders the east of Pafos but retains its own village identity. Known for its arts and crafts, particularly pottery, Geroskipou also has one of the best Folk Art Museums on the island. A short distance south from its central square and park is a pebble/sandy beach, the Aphrodite Water Park, go-karting, mini-golf, five-a-side football pitch and amusement (lunar) park.

Kathikas
High in the hills, the village of Kathikas is surrounded by pine forests, vineyards and agricultural land. It is a 30 minute drive southwest to Pafos harbour and a 15 minute drive northwest to the coastal resorts of Polis and Latchi. Although Kathikas is just a small village it has all necesseary amenities, as well as a couple of restaurants deserving of their regional acclaim. Two nearby wineries help to ensure that you will not be short in your choice of red and white wines.

Kissonerga
Halfway between Kato Paphos and Coral Bay, Kissonerga is a small village in the heart of the banana plantations and a short distance uphill from the coast. Surprisingly, for a village in its location, there is little in the way of tourist accommodation and development is on a much smaller scale than that of its neighbouring villages Emba and Chloraka.

Konia
A small village set high on a hill in the scenic suburbs of Pafos, Konia is a largely unspoilt green area with fabulous coastal views. It is just five minutes' drive from the outskirts of Paphos and benefits from refreshing breezes even in the height of summer.
