There are a number of nearby attractions;
Paphos: The vibrant town of Paphos is 10 minutes by car. Bars and restaurants line its busy new harbour front. There are many cultural activities including an archaeological museum, the Byzantine castle of Paphos, the Tombs of the Kings, St. Paulas Pillar and the Temple of Aphrodite (the goddess of love and beauty).
Pissouri Village: About 3 miles along the coast road. Wonderful Cypriot village with a town square; old men playing backgammon and just watching the world go by. In fact, it's a great place for you to do that. During the summer months there are lots of activities in the village - even a Cyprus night every Wednesday which mainly Greek Cypriots attend! There are bars and excellent restaurants. Also village shops including a butcher, baker, gift shop and a bank.
Pissouri Beach: This is the nearest 'tourist' beach but it is still quiet. And you can drive right up to the beach at the eastern end. There are sunbeds and umbrellas, parascending, jet skis - in fact, everything you would expect to find at a beach resort. There is also a number of bars and highly regarded fish restaurants.
Kouklia: Nearest village but very small and very old! It was the capital of Cyprus centuries ago. Aphrodite's temple is here.
