Kathikas

Ideally situated between Paphos and Latchi, the pretty village built of stone is set on top of the low hills of the Laona plateau.

It is said that when the village was built, the stone dwellings were constructed on each side of the river, with Greek Cypriots living on one side and Turkish Cypriots living on the other. Of course, nowadays, there is no such divide with the locals and non-Cypriots alike mixing freely.

Kathikas is approximately 20 minutes drive from Peyia and has a long history as a resting place for merchants travelling between Paphos and Latchi.

The remains of a circular Roman road can be seen in Kathikas. Although the historic taverna no longer exists, it has been replaced by more modern ones.

With a population of approximately 350, the village offers something for everyone. Famous for its vineyards, the village is surrounded by vines and is renowned for the quality of its grapes. Many of the vines have been in the same family for generations.

Two very famous wineries open their doors to visitors, so you can enjoy the winemaker’s craft. The village is also home to a donkey sanctuary and a tourist information centre.

The village retains its old world character whilst encouraging selected new developments. In the heart of the village there are well-known restaurants and coffee shops.

The village square has a small taverna where you can enjoy a cool drink whilst sitting under the trees.

There is no main church, but a small chapel serves the needs of the village.
