Kathikas

Situated between Paphos and Latchi, this pretty village is built of stone and located amongst the low hills of the Laona plateau. Apparently when the village was built, the stone houses were constructed on both sides of the river, with Greek Cypriots living on one side and Turkish Cypriots living on the other. Kathikas is 22kms from Paphos and 14kms from Latchi and is halfway between the only road that connects the old and new roads between Paphos and Polis.

With a population of roughly 350, the village offers something for everyone. The village is surrounded by vines and is famous for the quality of its grapes. The village has kept a lot of its old character: in the heart of the village there is a well-known restaurant, three coffee shops and a peaceful village square. There is no main church, but a small chapel serves the village.
