AGRITOURISM IN CYPRUS

“The Cyprus countryside is endowed with inexhaustible historical, natural and human riches, generously revealed to the visitor. Its traditional villages, enhance and complement a wonderful natural environment, with their local character, traditional architecture and village planning. Such places are conducive to a harmonious coexistence of man with nature, a coexistence sought by more and more visitors on their holidays. Within such an environment the visitor has the benefit of the daily hands-on experience of the rich traditions of village people: the simple, serene rhythms of rural life, folk customs, daily activities, and the authentic tastes of traditional cuisine; all filtered through the sense of genuine hospitality. The Cyprus Tourism Organisation, having considered this new trend of visitors wishing to experience a new, alternative way to holidaymaking, has set in motion a programme of restoration of traditional houses and enhancement of the traditional element in Cyprus villages, within the framework of the philosophy of agrotourism. The need for a better and more organised co-ordination of agrotourism led to the establishment of the Cyprus Agrotourism Company, a body dealing exclusively with holidays in the Cyprus countryside. Today, agrotourism is an autonomous, vibrant part of Cyprus tourism hosted in traditional lodgings of historical value throughout Cyprus, ready to offer a new, alternative holiday ideal. These restored lodgings create a warm atmosphere that will be engraved deep in your memory. At the same time, you will enjoy the comfort of a household that will soon feel like home. From then on await a handful of pleasant surprises nature has in store for you: millions of different scents, images of unparalleled beauty, walks down nature trails, visits to historical monasteries and archaeological sites, the real life of the country. You'll see and enjoy one day after the other and you will be overcome by a feeling of invigorating rejuvenation. As for the cuisine in these places, it is certain that you will be missing it for a long time after you've had a taste. Suffice to say, agrotourism is not something you describe but something you experience. We will simply guide you through the wonderful world of the 53 lodgings included in this website. Make your choices and set off to meet the life of nature and tradition in the Cyprus countryside.”
