Cyprus self catering accommodation in Kalavassos

How Cyprus self catering accommodation in Kalavassos makes a difference

Environment

Agrotourism is encouraging the development of the village economy and thus giving the village dweller the incentive to stay where he is and not go off to the towns to seek employment.

It also encourages the people to develop the nature trails and work on the land; it gives them a greater pride in the countryside round the village while at the same time giving them ideas on how they can demonstrate their skills. As well as giving them the ability to mix with people from many walks of life and from all over the world.

Tourism has opened up the village and broadened the horizons of the occupants and had a positive impact on the local economy.

Community

There is a lot of local produce for sale in and around the village.
There are some lovely little coffee shops and restaurants in and around the village square with local produce. We highly recommend The Bridge, next to the main bridge into Kalavasos where most of the food is produced locally and cooked by the owners. Kleftico is a particular favourite but you need to order in advance on that one. Also the wellness center offer some great treatments (discounted for Kontoyiannis guests of course!

The story of the provider of Cyprus self catering accommodation in Kalavassos

The house was built in the 1880's by our grandfather Yiannis Kontoyiannis who raised his 8 children there with his wife Maria. When he died, the house was passed on to our mother who along with our father decided to convert it in the early 1990's under the Agrotourism Scheme sponsored by the Cyprus Tourism Organization. We wanted to keep the family name alive and restore the house to its former glory. Years of neglect meant that a lot of time and effort was required to do this. In 2005 we had our first Kontoyiannis Family reunion in the house, it was a great success with over 80 of us there.

We really enjoyed our stay at this accommodation - the facilities were good, the weather was great and the local eateries ensured we had a much needed break. Kalavassos is a pleasant village, but a car is needed to be able to get around.(read full review)

The house was situated in a small village some ten minutes drive from some beautiful, uncommercialised beaches which were ideal for our small children. The village, Kalavasos, has virtually everything necessary.(read full review)

This was a really good conversion of a traditional house into spacious apartments. No skimping on space in the apartments which were comfortably furnished with good amenities. Definitely a good way to enjoy a relaxing holiday without having to go to a resort! (read full review)
