We love this place for brunch. They offer a very generous local brunch, with delicious breads, cakes, cheeses, marmalades and coffees. The place itself is very magical, with free roaming chickens and exotic birds.
Occasionally they host live music and cocktails in the summer evenings.
Very important to book the Brunch menu, otherwise you'll be limited to the a-la-carte menu, which is also delicious.

Nestled amidst the verdant landscapes of Kritou Terra Cyprus, lies a hidden gem of natural beauty and tranquility—the Kremiotis Waterfall.
The path is mostly in shade, a mixture of flat and steps with handrail for safety. Scenery is incredible and lush vegetation due to waterfall.
Easy walk for beginners and families. Prepare to get wet, as you pass through a small tunnel to see the waterfall on the other side.

The famous monastery of Kykkos is the most elaborately decorated of all the monastery buildings in Cyprus. It sits on top of a mountain peak at an altitude of 4,320 feet, and is dedicated to Panagia (the Virgin Mary). You can find it in the Marathasa region.
Kykkos monastery is widely celebrated because it contains one of the three icons attributed to Agios Loukas, the Apostle and Evangelist.
Remember if you are visiting monasteries, churches or any holy place in Cyprus you will need to cover up your shoulders and knees. We recommend taking a light scarf or sarong for this purpose, or wear long loose clothing.

The Agios Neophytos (Saint Neophytos) monastery is located 10km outside Paphos, near the village of Tala. In 1159, Saint Neophytos founded the monastery, which at the time, did not hold his namesake. He resided there until his death 85 years later in 1219.
The monastery museum houses exhibits from ancient times and the Byzantine period. The cave with Saint Neophytos’ cell (Enkleistra) is also worth seeing. The Enkleistra is an enclosure carved out of the mountain by the hermit himself, which contains some of the finest Byzantine frescoes dating from 12th to 15th century.
This is where Saint Neophytos committed his life to Christ, spending most days fasting and praying. Today, you can still see the table fashioned from rock, and the stone platform where he slept. His grave is also preserved.
