Top 10 Traditional Guesthouses
-
1. Kinyras, Pafos
Just off Ktima Pafos’s central square, Kinyras is a characterful old town-house that has been turned into a stylish guesthouse. Paintings and sculptures by young artists from the Cyprus College of Art at nearby Lempa adorn the foyer, corridors and rooms. There’s a courtyard café and a restaurant with a menu of the best traditional Cypriot cooking.

2. Kostaris, Pafos
These stone-built houses and adjoining cottage share a pretty garden in which there is a traditional clay oven, an old wine-press and – best of all – a small pool. All three houses are furnished with charm, and share fabulous views.

3. The Spanos House, Pafos
This lovely family home stands in the middle of an orange grove and has been renovated to provide all you could wish for – including a swimming pool among the trees, which is shared between the one-bedroom house and two self-contained studio apartments.

4. To Spiti tis Rigenas, Larnaca
