Marathounta

Marathounta village is located to the North hills of Paphos town and is
definitely for those seeking a quieter, more rural lifestyle, away from
the tourist hustle and bustle. This is an area renowned for its natural
beauty and stunning views and the real beauty of Cyprus can be found
here with its abundance of local flora and fauna, lush green valleys and
the crystal clear water sparkling in the distance.

Marathounta is a traditional Cypriot village where the locals still welcome
newcomers with big smiles and open arms and you will find the local
traditions and old ways still very much in evidence here.

Marathounda and the neighbouring village of Armou boast a tavern each, but
you would need to go down to the outskirts of Paphos for most of your
supplies, although there are a couple of small village stores located in Konia
for your basic needs. The local tavern offers a selection of traditional grilled
meat or fish, served with fries and the usual Greek salad and dips for about
€10 per head including wine. Take aways are even available if you prefer!

There is also a nice tavern in the centre of nearby Konia Village, serving
traditional Cypriot Meze style meals.

Despite the rural beauty and tranquillity of Marathounta, all the
local amenities of Paphos town, the golden sandy beaches of Coral
Bay, the ancient/historical sites and picturesque Paphos harbour
are all just a short drive away.

For the golfing enthusiast, the world famous golf course of Tsada
is just 4km away, with two futher championship courses both
within a 20 minute drive.
It is 7 minutes to access the main route (A6) to Paphos airport
and other towns and 12 minutes from the coast.
