Palatakia  

In rural Kato Drys, Cyprus — a boutique agrotourism hideaway with stone lanes and olive groves. Palatakia sits steps from the Bee & Embroidery Museum and a short drive to Fatsa Wax Museum, the Troodos Mountains and several beaches. Larnaca International Airport is about 40 km away, making this adults-only retreat easy to reach.

Housed in 300-year-old restored village buildings, Palatakia blends traditional Cypriot architecture with modern comforts. The complex comprises restored houses and 11 individually decorated guestrooms with fridges, flat-screen TVs, safes and coffee/tea makers. Expect calm terraces, local stone finishes and weekly housekeeping for a low-key, boutique escape.

Soak in a seasonal outdoor pool, lounge on the terrace and sip at the poolside bar. Complimentary wireless internet, barbecue grills and a shared kitchen keep things practical. Free self-parking and on-site laundry add to the relaxed rural vibe.

Express check-in and check-out, laundry facilities and a safe-deposit box on site. Complimentary Wi-Fi keeps you connected while free self-parking makes arrivals easy.

A restaurant serves guests and there's a snack bar/deli plus a poolside bar for casual drinks. Buffet breakfast is offered daily from 8–10 AM for a fee, and the shared kitchen and barbecue area let you cook your own meals.
