Pissouri Villas

We seem to be getting alot of interest in Pissouri Bay in Cyprus, particularly from couples and small families. Our range of Pissouri Villas offers you convenience and privacy.

Located in a small bay, this is a stunning area. Without the hustle and bustle of more commercialized areas such as Coral Bay in Paphos this is ideal for those seeking a slightly more authentic Cypriot experience. The Cyprus villas we offer here are all located within walking distance of the Pissouri beach, all Pissouri restaurants and amenities. Whilst the beach is very close, the villas all come with private pool and gardens to keep you happy on those days that you are not down at the beach.

 

The Pissouri Bay beach itself offers a range of water sports, the usual suspects apply here, so no shortage of things to do. The local Cyprus restaurants and taverns are a great way to explore local Cypriot dishes. Sundays is normally a great day to go down to the taverns to enjoy some sunday lamb cooked slowly in a kiln (clay oven).

Cyprus Villas, Holidays and what to expect

Coming to Cyprus and wondering what to expect. Apart from a range of thousands of luxury Cyprus Villas, Hotels and apartments, what else does the island have to offer?

Ok, so we’ll go through the normal motions and say the Cyprus Weather is great, something like 360 days of sunshine. Not so fast.

Firstly, it does rain in the winter, and quite alot. But this is a good thing right as the place would look pretty desolate if it didn’t. Some say that statistic is inferring 360 days where the sun shines for at least one during the day. Well, times have changed, so forget it. But what about the summer?

Cyprus

From about April through to October and sometimes into November, the weather is very favourable. If booking a holiday to Cyprus, April to June is mild weather, July to the end of Sept is very hot and Oct – Nov mild.

Food? Restaurants in Cyprus very in both quality and price. Make sure you get your hands on a decent food guide. Agios will be launching Eyeris soon which has a voice activated, interactive restaurant guide which will make the job of finding quality food in Cyprus much easier and fun.

Beaches? Most of the sandy beaches are located on the eastern side of the island, with Paphos and Latchi enjoying some shale and pebble beaches. It depends what you want really.

Cyprus Hotels in Winter

Booking a hotel in Cyprus is winter is not as far out as it sounds. Luxury Cyprus Hotels are generally located on the beach and yes the water is too cold to swim in, but we’re not saying ‘come for the beach’. We’re saying come for the Cyprus Weather.

If you look at the photos attached to this blog post, would it surprise you to know that we took these photos in early January?

Cyprus is having an exceptional winter however, it has been raining alot, but why not come in March for some crips clear air in the mountains, whilst enjoying some brisk walks on the golf course back at the hotel?

Flights also tend to be much cheaper in the winter as one would expect, and so too is everything else on the island. Local shopping, restaurants, groceries, entertainment – everything is offered at winter rates so there is alot of savings to be made.

Get online, look for some Cyprus Hotels and get out here before the weather back home really gets to you!

Cyprus Restaurants Interactive Guide

In about a month we will be launching our interactive Cyprus Restaurants guide.  Interactive? How so? Agios is taking its first steps into mobile application technology. This is where we put Cyprus into your pocket where ever you are.

Cyprus Restaurants

Restaurants in Cyprus

Looking for some traditional Cyprus meze? Looking for some fresh sea food or even some Chinese? It’s all here with information, menus, point to point driving directions and you can even enjoy special offers as and when they happen directly from the restaurant itself. Whilst there are many Restaurants in Cyprus we wouldn’t exactly recommend every single ourselves, we’ll let the public do that using TripAdvisor reviews.

We’ve taken alot of time and energy compiling what we believe the most suitably located restaurants. Establishments that are easy to find, offer good value and good service. You can judge the food yourself and leave a review.

If you yourself have recently been to a restaurant in Cyprus and feel it should be part of our interactive guide, just use the ‘recommend’ button in the app and we’ll make a visit as soon as possible based on your feedback.

Eating out is now that little it easier as you can choose not only by theme, but by distance to where you are and by rating.

Follow us on Twitter for updates on when the app will go live: Villas in Cyprus

Enjoy Cyprus!

Cyprus Holidays on the beach

Cyprus Holidays don’t get better than this. A private beach front area, stunning villas in the sun, a golf course nearby, make it yours today. Agios is very pleased to announce the addition of a select range of superior villas in Cyprus for your holiday enjoyment.

Cyprus Holidays

Of course this bouquet of villas doesn’t just apply to how you intend on spending your Cyprus holidays, we offer you a springboard from which you enjoy and discover the island of Cyprus. We generally tend to focus on villas that are in prime locations in Cyprus, and this generally covers three areas: beach front, golf resort and secluded villas in the middle of nowhere.

Let’s talk about the beach villas we mentioned earlier on. Located in Paphos by the main harbour area, these properties are newly built and all face the sea. Complete with marble interior, local stone exterior, gardens and private pools, these villas look the part. Many guest flying over from the states tend to worry about getting around, we drive on the left. As these villas are located sufficiently close to the airport – about 15 mins drive, we have a collection service for your convenience.

The kids can either spend time in the pool, or they can take a trot down to the sea and enjoy some time paddling in the sun. This particular project of holiday villas sports a private bar area right on the beach – pure class.

Let’s move on to the golf villas. Aphrodite Hills is the premier integrated resort in Cyprus and features a portfolio of stunning luxury villas, an Intercontinental hotel, spa, tennis academy, village square and restaurants. Agios has a number of villas on this holiday resort, and we want to share them with you, because if you are planning a holiday to the med, this is the place to go.

Villas in Cyprus

There are a few different options when scouring the internet for villas in Cyprus for you to choose from so let’s go through the options.

Aphrodite Hills

This is perhaps one of the most popular destinations on the island when it comes to villa rentals. With their new contemporary designs, large gardens, heated swimming pools and proximity to the golf course and villas square amenities, there are many reasons why this resort is a priority on many peoples search lists.

One of the added benefits of Aphrodite Hills is that it is only 12 mins drive from Paphos airport. Added benefits include restaurants and mini supermarket on-site as well as a spa and tennis academy.

The biggest selling point is the Aphrodite Hills Kids Club.

Pissouri

A very scenic location in Cyprus, Pissouri is our personal favourite. It is a quiet, stunning location with a lovely beach, perfect for the family holidays. The bay and village itself of course boast a selection of restaurants to choose from and we highly recommend visiting this area of Cyprus even if not booking a villa here.

Coral Bay Paphos

This is mainstream Paphos, being a seaside town it is going to be very popular with tourists.  Agios does boast an extensive range of beachside holiday villas in the Paphos and Coral Bay areas. Most properties are within a few meters of the sea, one particular project is our absolute favourite – beach villas in Cyprus

Cyprus Luxury Hotels in Paphos

Very few Cyprus Luxury Hotels offer you a spectacular sea view, with an exquisite 18 hole golf course in the foreground, from a balcony that features a jacuzzi from which to take it all in. At the Aphrodite Hills Hotel in Paphos, this is where it is all possible.

The Aphrodite HIlls Cyprus Luxury Hotel

Just around the corner in the hotel square you will have access to over 14 restaurants from which to enjoy a varied spread of international cuisine, Cypriot food obviously being the highlight. The great thing about this Cyprus Hotel is that everything you would probably need is within walking distance. OK, so there may not be a beach right outside your doorstep, but there is one close by.

The Aphrodite Hills Hotel is certainly worth every star rating that is has been awarded. The resort itself is fabulous, offering you relaxation in a pristine environment. Paphos airport is mere 12km away so getting to and from the airport is the least of your concerns. There is a kids club, so looking after the kids all day is not a priority.

What is a priority is how you go about relaxing, whether you choose to recline by the main swimming pool, or by your private pool in one of the junior suites. Aphrodite Hills boasts many great features, but the Hotel is one of the main key points and we invite you to visit us particularly between the months of April to October when the weather is at its best.

Cyprus Weddings

So you’re thinking about getting married and having your wedding in Cyprus, and now you’re not sure whether to have a hotel wedding venue, a villa wedding or a beach wedding.

Every wedding flavour has it’s advantages.

Beach Wedding

Cyprus Weddings don’t really get more popular than this, it’s the Med right so what a better way to tie the knot. Not so fast.

It really does depend on what time of the year you are looking to have your wedding in Cyprus. Come at the wrong time and you might need a portable air conditioner. Avoid these type of weddings in Cyprus during the summer months of July through to the end of september. Look carefully at the annual Cyprus weather charts to see what you should be doing with respect to this.

Other than that, what a way to do it. A highly recommended destination for beach weddings is the Columbia resort in Pissouri Bay.

Hotel Weddings in Cyprus

One piece of advice here, kill two birds with one stone – have a beach wedding, in a hotel that probably has the best setting on the island. We mentioned it before and we will do it again here, contact the Columbia hotel in Pissouri. Don’t worry we’re not on their payroll, we just happened to get married there.

Another great location is the Aphrodite Hills Hotel, just a stone’s throw from Pissouri.

The Weather in Cyprus

Ok folks, if you were putting your holiday plans to Cyprus off because of the dismal Cyprus Weather, the situation improved significantly over the weekend, but according to the met office the weather in Cyprus is going to deteriorate on Tuesday and remain cloudy until Friday or Saturday.

Whilst we do really need the rain here in Cyprus, we don’t have a good catchment system, it is becoming a bit of a drag having rain day in and day out. Makes one wonder what happened considering the entire photo shoot on our Cyprus Luxury Hotels web page was done in early January up at the Aphrodite Hills Hotel

Hopefully things will improve soon and we can get back to doing what we do best – living in the sun!

Come and visit us soon for you annual Cyprus Holiday

 

 

Cyprus Apartments

Cyprus Apartments

The types of holiday property that most couple and golfers look for aren’t the larger luxury holiday villas in Cyprus, it’s holiday apartments. The reason the golfers use them is they are perfect for four ball groups at much less expense than hotels per head. Conveniently located on or very near to golf resorts such as Aphrodite Hills and Secret Valley, and close to Paphos airport, they are ideal.

Couples also tend to gravitate towards apartments in Cyprus due to their lower cost and relative privacy.  Again, on a cost vs cost basis with hotels apartments work out cheaper.

We’re currently awaiting a portfolio of stunning private Cyprus Apartments in Latchi, we’ll be making an announcement before long and we will also be adding a superb range of Luxury apartments up at Aphrodite Hills. There are a number of different types of apartments that we will look to add, from inland and sea facing one bedroom apartments, to 3 bedroom penthouses.

Agios, as always does try to present its information as clearly and vividly as possible, so expect some impressive media to populate these pages.

 

Cyprus Weather

Get ready for some great Cyprus Weather

Cyprus Weather

Enjoy some great weather in Cyprus

It’s been a very long and cold winter in Cyprus, so this normally means a good solid summer with some great sunny skies! Whilst the old travel pitch of 360 days of sunshine is not true by any means, between April and October, you can rest assured that the weather in Cyprus is going to be sublime. Temperatures range between 20 and 35 degrees so there is every reason to book a holiday villa as soon as possible.

Agios enjoys a healthy spread of villas located in beach areas of Paphos and these beach villas are worth looking at. We invite you to visit our site and search through some exquisite villas in Cyprus.

Just be warned that you had better bring your sunscreen, hours spent by your private swimming pool and/or on the nearest sandy beach can results in some visits to the pharmacy with paniced requests for aftersun treatment.

 

Cyprus Holidays

Planning your Cyprus Holiday is going to get exponentially easier with a new application that is going to be released by Agios in the next month.

Imagine having Cyprus in your pocket, being able to find what you want, when you want it, with point to point driving directions. Whilst you’re at it, why not plan your day’s activities based on your profile group, are you a family, a couple or a group? Then sit back and let the system recommend holiday activities that are suitable for you, within distance limits you set.

Cyprus Holidays typically start out being researched online, booked and then you the user will mostly rely on pocket guides, tripadvisor reviews and writeups and hard copy information left in Holiday villas to plan out each day spent on the island.

From searching holiday accommodation such as villas, apartments and hotels, to viewing what amenities are within what distance from each you can now view your holiday destination with real time interactivity.

One of the great features of the app will be the ability to quickly find emergency care should you need it, view airport departures, book a taxi from where ever you are and share information with family and friends.

There are more features, which due to their proprietary nature cannot be disclosed until time of launch but we hope to be making the big announcement in the next 30 days.
