Agios is now officially on the hunt for a new range of luxury villas to let in Cyprus.

Having now reached the final stages a new homepage layout, we are extending a number of our rental services to help make the experience of booking and enjoying a villa holiday in Cyprus, that much better. Villas will of course be subject to rigorous scrutiny to ensure we remain top of the pile in terms of presentation, quality of product and service.

Villas that will obviously be high on the wanted list, are villas close to beaches or at least the shoreline. Villas close to amenities and walking distance to restaurants with good food are also excellent options.

The topic of Cyprus Apartments always comes up and we will be changing the way we work for this. An apartment holiday in Cyprus is for folks who may not want something too large or too expensive. It’s due to the costs that we are unable to in good faith charge an owner a commission because it ends up pushing the apartment past market rates. Therefore if you have an apartment in Cyprus, for 100Euro per annum you can advertise your property on our website and receive enquiries directly from it.

So if you or anyone that you know has a villa or apartment that they need to rent out, please direct them to our villa rentals website. We will make every effort to assist and advise you on how bes to maximise your return on your property.

For aidditional tourism information please visit the Cyprus Tourism Organisation

We’re getting ready to launch our Cyprus Food guide, but it will not be basic print. It will be in a much more dynamic and searchable form – it will be an app.

There is a plethora of restaurants in Cyprus and we are going to try and get as many of them into the app, but how will we control this information so that it doesn’t overwhelm you? Everything will be based on two things: your location, and the type of food you wish to eat.

If you fancy Grilled Chicken, just tell the app and it will search all the menus and voila – a list of restaurants ordered by their proximity to you.

We’ll even take things a step further and make it possible for restaurant owners to extend discounts to you via the app so you can enjoy some great food, in the awesome Cyprus climate.

If you know of any restaurants that serve really good food, let us know about it, we’d love to add them to the app as soon as possible.

Well the Weather in Cyprus has been very interesting to say the least. It has to be said, the winters in Cyprus are not welcoming at all.

The wind has been exceptionally active, the rains have been superb and the electrical storms have knocked out most grids in the Aphrodite Hills area a couple of times. But this is all good, because the summer is just around the corner.

Save the odd freak day where the Coptic winds kick up ahead of schedule, it’s getting nice and warm now and we can all get back to talking about the famous ‘Cyprus Weather‘

It’s been a long and frigid winter, but the olive trees are blossoming as are the cherry blossoms, we all look forward to getting our beach gear dusted off and we are definitely looking forward to enjoying the Cyprus Restaurants on the beaches too.

One area that we will be visiting alot this summer will be our usual haunt of Pissouri – join us

Aphrodite Hills is currently reinventing itself. Being a fully integrated resort was always on the brochure, but the way you experience the resort is now going to reflect this.

Being a resort, it’s not just about: Hotel and Beach, it’s about so much more. The Aphrodite Hills Hotel offers you a new dine around option. The village square at the Aphrodite Hills resort is packed with restaurants that you can now enjoy as a hotel guest. Cyprus Hotels are normally limited in their offerings, because that’s all they are, Hotels.

Experiencing Aphrodite Hills is something far superior and engaging, not just from the dining options, but to activities and things to do.

When we make our next pass over the resort, we’ll be sure to get some photos of each of these Cyprus Restaurants and include them in our upcoming mobile application complete with menus and reservations options.

Aphrodite Hills, a new way of thinking.

So let’s talk hotels.

Is a beach hotel more appealing than a beach hotel on a resort such as Aphrodite Hills? The Aphrodite Hills Hotel is a special case worth considering here. Whilst beach hotels in Cyprus are very popular amongst holiday makers to Cyprus, there are some special points to consider.

Firstly, it’s on a resort so there is quite a bit to do. What wold a holiday family normally do if staying at a beach hotel, sit on the beach all day every day? Not likely. But then it gets interesting because to find any activities, they will have to travel pretty far to find things to do. They may in fact find themselves visiting Aphrodite Hills!

So let’s look at the list of things to do when staying at Aphrodite Hills:

Horse Riding

Tennis

Spa

Golf

Walking Trails

Numerous Cyprus restaurants to break up the day

Kids activity club

So when you really come to think about it, being close to the beach, but on a resort it probably more beneficial.

Well actually, they aren’t new. It’s a new way we want to present them, a way that capitalises on high speed internet connections and big colourful computer screens.

Cyprus Hotels, the media used to present them, how would you rate it? Pretty poorly if you think about it for a minute. All the large hotel booking websites take the data and photos of the hotels from the same sources and as such everything ends up looking the same when browsing the internet for hotel in Cyprus, or anywhere else for that matter.

So why is this the case?

Let’s look at it from a developmental point of view. You need a web developer, you need a photographer to shoot the hotel and make it look like a luxury establishment, you need a content writer to create meaningful content and a search engine optimiser to get the hotel website ranked.

By the time a company has finished paying this you need to get an awful lot of bookings to recover. So it’s usually the media and optimisation that are left of the budgets and the hotel relies heavily on the global distribution systems. Brilliant setup – not.

Let hotels, and since we live in Cyprus, let Cyprus Hotels, take the lead and start presenting themselves in a more dynamic, colourful and interactive manner!

Agios is constantly looking to add new and exclusive Villas in Cyprus to its portfolio. As such we will be adding two very beautiful 3 bedroom villas in Latchi each with stunning sea views.

These villas are not located within walking distance of shops and amenities, they are secluded and private, and what’s more they are on an exclusive health farm complete with spa and Cyprus restaurants.

We’d like to invite you as well as all of our regular guests to check in with us within the next 10 days to get access to these villas that will come with a full spread of availability. As far as private Cyprus holidays go, these villas in Cyprus are the way forward and are a great way to enjoy some time in the Med.

Cyprus at its best

On a side note, as these villas are remote, we do offer an airport transfer service from either Paphos or Larnaca.

We seem to be getting alot of interest in Pissouri Bay in Cyprus, particularly from couples and small families. Our range of Pissouri Villas offers you convenience and privacy.

Located in a small bay, this is a stunning area. Without the hustle and bustle of more commercialized areas such as Coral Bay in Paphos this is ideal for those seeking a slightly more authentic Cypriot experience. The Cyprus villas we offer here are all located within walking distance of the Pissouri beach, all Pissouri restaurants and amenities. Whilst the beach is very close, the villas all come with private pool and gardens to keep you happy on those days that you are not down at the beach.

The Pissouri Bay beach itself offers a range of water sports, the usual suspects apply here, so no shortage of things to do. The local Cyprus restaurants and taverns are a great way to explore local Cypriot dishes. Sundays is normally a great day to go down to the taverns to enjoy some sunday lamb cooked slowly in a kiln (clay oven).

Pissouri Bay Beach Views

Discover a Cyprus that still does offer local charm and idyllic settings, discover Pissouri.

Coming to Cyprus and wondering what to expect. Apart from a range of thousands of luxury Cyprus Villas, Hotels and apartments, what else does the island have to offer?

Ok, so we’ll go through the normal motions and say the Cyprus Weather is great, something like 360 days of sunshine. Not so fast.

Firstly, it does rain in the winter, and quite alot. But this is a good thing right as the place would look pretty desolate if it didn’t. Some say that statistic is inferring 360 days where the sun shines for at least one during the day. Well, times have changed, so forget it. But what about the summer?

Cyprus - latchi boat yard

From about April through to October and sometimes into November, the weather is very favourable. If booking a holiday to Cyprus, April to June is mild weather, July to the end of Sept is very hot and Oct – Nov mild.

Food? Restaurants in Cyprus very in both quality and price. Make sure you get your hands on a decent food guide. Agios will be launching Eyeris soon which has a voice activated, interactive restaurant guide which will make the job of finding quality food in Cyprus much easier and fun.

Beaches? Most of the sandy beaches are located on the eastern side of the island, with Paphos and Latchi enjoying some shale and pebble beaches. It depends what you want really.

Booking a hotel in Cyprus is winter is not as far out as it sounds. Luxury Cyprus Hotels are generally located on the beach and yes the water is too cold to swim in, but we’re not saying ‘come for the beach’. We’re saying come for the Cyprus Weather.

If you look at the photos attached to this blog post, would it surprise you to know that we took these photos in early January?

Cyprus is having an exceptional winter however, it has been raining alot, but why not come in March for some crips clear air in the mountains, whilst enjoying some brisk walks on the golf course back at the hotel?

Flights also tend to be much cheaper in the winter as one would expect, and so too is everything else on the island. Local shopping, restaurants, groceries, entertainment – everything is offered at winter rates so there is alot of savings to be made.

Get online, look for some Cyprus Hotels and get out here before the weather back home really gets to you!

Winter sun in Cyprus

In about a month we will be launching our interactive Cyprus Restaurants guide.  Interactive? How so? Agios is taking its first steps into mobile application technology. This is where we put Cyprus into your pocket where ever you are.

Restaurants in Cyprus

Looking for some traditional Cyprus meze? Looking for some fresh sea food or even some Chinese? It’s all here with information, menus, point to point driving directions and you can even enjoy special offers as and when they happen directly from the restaurant itself. Whilst there are many Restaurants in Cyprus we wouldn’t exactly recommend every single ourselves, we’ll let the public do that using TripAdvisor reviews.

We’ve taken alot of time and energy compiling what we believe the most suitably located restaurants. Establishments that are easy to find, offer good value and good service. You can judge the food yourself and leave a review.

If you yourself have recently been to a restaurant in Cyprus and feel it should be part of our interactive guide, just use the ‘recommend’ button in the app and we’ll make a visit as soon as possible based on your feedback.

Eating out is now that little it easier as you can choose not only by theme, but by distance to where you are and by rating.

Follow us on Twitter for updates on when the app will go live: Villas in Cyprus

Enjoy Cyprus!

Cyprus Holidays don’t get better than this. A private beach front area, stunning villas in the sun, a golf course nearby, make it yours today. Agios is very pleased to announce the addition of a select range of superior villas in Cyprus for your holiday enjoyment.

Cyprus Holidays

Of course this bouquet of villas doesn’t just apply to how you intend on spending your Cyprus holidays, we offer you a springboard from which you enjoy and discover the island of Cyprus. We generally tend to focus on villas that are in prime locations in Cyprus, and this generally covers three areas: beach front, golf resort and secluded villas in the middle of nowhere.

Let’s talk about the beach villas we mentioned earlier on. Located in Paphos by the main harbour area, these properties are newly built and all face the sea. Complete with marble interior, local stone exterior, gardens and private pools, these villas look the part. Many guest flying over from the states tend to worry about getting around, we drive on the left. As these villas are located sufficiently close to the airport – about 15 mins drive, we have a collection service for your convenience.

The kids can either spend time in the pool, or they can take a trot down to the sea and enjoy some time paddling in the sun. This particular project of holiday villas sports a private bar area right on the beach – pure class.

Let’s move on to the golf villas. Aphrodite Hills is the premier integrated resort in Cyprus and features a portfolio of stunning luxury villas, an Intercontinental hotel, spa, tennis academy, village square and restaurants. Agios has a number of villas on this holiday resort, and we want to share them with you, because if you are planning a holiday to the med, this is the place to go.

Contact us at any time or visit our website for more information.

There are a few different options when scouring the internet for villas in Cyprus for you to choose from so let’s go through the options.

Aphrodite Hills

This is perhaps one of the most popular destinations on the island when it comes to villa rentals. With their new contemporary designs, large gardens, heated swimming pools and proximity to the golf course and villas square amenities, there are many reasons why this resort is a priority on many peoples search lists.

One of the added benefits of Aphrodite Hills is that it is only 12 mins drive from Paphos airport. Added benefits include restaurants and mini supermarket on-site as well as a spa and tennis academy.

The biggest selling point is the Aphrodite Hills Kids Club.

Pissouri

A very scenic location in Cyprus, Pissouri is our personal favourite. It is a quiet, stunning location with a lovely beach, perfect for the family holidays. The bay and village itself of course boast a selection of restaurants to choose from and we highly recommend visiting this area of Cyprus even if not booking a villa here.

Coral Bay Paphos

This is mainstream Paphos, being a seaside town it is going to be very popular with tourists.  Agios does boast an extensive range of beachside holiday villas in the Paphos and Coral Bay areas. Most properties are within a few meters of the sea, one particular project is our absolute favourite – beach villas in Cyprus

Very few Cyprus Luxury Hotels offer you a spectacular sea view, with an exquisite 18 hole golf course in the foreground, from a balcony that features a jacuzzi from which to take it all in. At the Aphrodite Hills Hotel in Paphos, this is where it is all possible.

The Aphrodite HIlls Cyprus Luxury Hotel

Just around the corner in the hotel square you will have access to over 14 restaurants from which to enjoy a varied spread of international cuisine, Cypriot food obviously being the highlight. The great thing about this Cyprus Hotel is that everything you would probably need is within walking distance. OK, so there may not be a beach right outside your doorstep, but there is one close by.

The Aphrodite Hills Hotel is certainly worth every star rating that is has been awarded. The resort itself is fabulous, offering you relaxation in a pristine environment. Paphos airport is mere 12km away so getting to and from the airport is the least of your concerns. There is a kids club, so looking after the kids all day is not a priority.

What is a priority is how you go about relaxing, whether you choose to recline by the main swimming pool, or by your private pool in one of the junior suites. Aphrodite Hills boasts many great features, but the Hotel is one of the main key points and we invite you to visit us particularly between the months of April to October when the weather is at its best.

At RentCyprus.co.uk you can rent Villas in Cyprus, be they located near the beach or on a golf resort, Agios specializes in villas of the highest grade. Luxury villas with sea views, golf fairway views and in quiet secluded locations are all easily bookable with us. A number of prime locations in Cyprus have been hand picked and include Pissouri Bay, Aphrodite Hills, Coral Bay, Paphos and Argaka.

Each of these locations offers villas with a different flavour giving you more choice when booking a booking a villa in Cyprus. Choose from a wide selection of family holiday villas or stay in a range of Cyprus Luxury Hotels in Paphos.

Cyprus weddings and other special occasions can be arranged through Agios, visit us at Cyprus Villas.

Visit us now online and select from arange of 2,3,4,5 and 6 bedroom luxury villas in Cyprus

So you’re thinking about getting married and having your wedding in Cyprus, and now you’re not sure whether to have a hotel wedding venue, a villa wedding or a beach wedding.

Every wedding flavour has it’s advantages.

Beach Wedding

Cyprus Weddings don’t really get more popular than this, it’s the Med right so what a better way to tie the knot. Not so fast.

It really does depend on what time of the year you are looking to have your wedding in Cyprus. Come at the wrong time and you might need a portable air conditioner. Avoid these type of weddings in Cyprus during the summer months of July through to the end of september. Look carefully at the annual Cyprus weather charts to see what you should be doing with respect to this.

Other than that, what a way to do it. A highly recommended destination for beach weddings is the Columbia resort in Pissouri Bay.

Hotel Weddings in Cyprus

One piece of advice here, kill two birds with one stone – have a beach wedding, in a hotel that probably has the best setting on the island. We mentioned it before and we will do it again here, contact the Columbia hotel in Pissouri. Don’t worry we’re not on their payroll, we just happened to get married there.

Another great location is the Aphrodite Hills Hotel, just a stone’s throw from Pissouri.

Weddings in Cyprus - The Columbia

Ok folks, if you were putting your holiday plans to Cyprus off because of the dismal Cyprus Weather, the situation improved significantly over the weekend, but according to the met office the weather in Cyprus is going to deteriorate on Tuesday and remain cloudy until Friday or Saturday.

Whilst we do really need the rain here in Cyprus, we don’t have a good catchment system, it is becoming a bit of a drag having rain day in and day out. Makes one wonder what happened considering the entire photo shoot on our Cyprus Luxury Hotels web page was done in early January up at the Aphrodite Hills Hotel

Hopefully things will improve soon and we can get back to doing what we do best – living in the sun!

Come and visit us soon for you annual Cyprus Holiday

Cyprus Apartments

The types of holiday property that most couple and golfers look for aren’t the larger luxury holiday villas in Cyprus, it’s holiday apartments. The reason the golfers use them is they are perfect for four ball groups at much less expense than hotels per head. Conveniently located on or very near to golf resorts such as Aphrodite Hills and Secret Valley, and close to Paphos airport, they are ideal.

Couples also tend to gravitate towards apartments in Cyprus due to their lower cost and relative privacy.  Again, on a cost vs cost basis with hotels apartments work out cheaper.

We’re currently awaiting a portfolio of stunning private Cyprus Apartments in Latchi, we’ll be making an announcement before long and we will also be adding a superb range of Luxury apartments up at Aphrodite Hills. There are a number of different types of apartments that we will look to add, from inland and sea facing one bedroom apartments, to 3 bedroom penthouses.

Agios, as always does try to present its information as clearly and vividly as possible, so expect some impressive media to populate these pages.

Get ready for some great Cyprus Weather

Enjoy some great weather in Cyprus

It’s been a very long and cold winter in Cyprus, so this normally means a good solid summer with some great sunny skies! Whilst the old travel pitch of 360 days of sunshine is not true by any means, between April and October, you can rest assured that the weather in Cyprus is going to be sublime. Temperatures range between 20 and 35 degrees so there is every reason to book a holiday villa as soon as possible.

Agios enjoys a healthy spread of villas located in beach areas of Paphos and these beach villas are worth looking at. We invite you to visit our site and search through some exquisite villas in Cyprus.

Just be warned that you had better bring your sunscreen, hours spent by your private swimming pool and/or on the nearest sandy beach can results in some visits to the pharmacy with paniced requests for aftersun treatment.

Planning your Cyprus Holiday is going to get exponentially easier with a new application that is going to be released by Agios in the next month.

Imagine having Cyprus in your pocket, being able to find what you want, when you want it, with point to point driving directions. Whilst you’re at it, why not plan your day’s activities based on your profile group, are you a family, a couple or a group? Then sit back and let the system recommend holiday activities that are suitable for you, within distance limits you set.

Cyprus Holidays typically start out being researched online, booked and then you the user will mostly rely on pocket guides, tripadvisor reviews and writeups and hard copy information left in Holiday villas to plan out each day spent on the island.

From searching holiday accommodation such as villas, apartments and hotels, to viewing what amenities are within what distance from each you can now view your holiday destination with real time interactivity.

One of the great features of the app will be the ability to quickly find emergency care should you need it, view airport departures, book a taxi from where ever you are and share information with family and friends.

There are more features, which due to their proprietary nature cannot be disclosed until time of launch but we hope to be making the big announcement in the next 30 days.

Holiday Villas in Cyprus

Perhaps the most popular of all the Cyprus villa options are the 3 bedroom villas in Cyprus for rent. Built to traditionally sleep 6 holiday makers, the three bedroom layouts suits groups and/or families on holiday. The cost per head on these villas in Cyprus is also going to come in at the mid range price slot and normally well below the cost per head in a Cyprus Luxury Hotel

That is why we normally put alot of emphasis on ensuring we have adequate stock of 3 bedroom villas in Cyprus for rent for our online guests. Agios has enjoyed alot of attention to it’s beach front range of villas in Paphos – these are some of the most exquisite villas on the rental market in Cyprus.

3 Bedroom Villas in Cyprus for rent

The three bedroom villas are therefore out biggest selling product and generally get booked well in advance. We therefore advise anyone considering a holiday to Cyprus to shift gear and book as soon as possible. Whilst we do make alot of noise about our Aphrodite Hills Villas but in terms of the best Cyprus Weddings the 3 bedroom beach options are generally the better option.

Another thing we tend to do it concentrate on villas that are close to all amenities, as well as the airport. Ok, so some of the 3 bedroom villas we have have a secluded flavour to them like our villas in Argaka but for the better part we try to keep you close to everything, but also far away from it all to enjoy a private holiday in Cyprus.

Best of luck hunting for your next holiday, we hope it’s in Cyprus and we hope it’s with us.

Cyprus Villas and Holiday Rentals.

8 years ago Agios was born and with it a raft of new concepts that have become mainstay features on many cyprus villas websites.

From virtual tours, interactive google maps to better photos, users enjoyed a better experience online.

What we are now in the process of cooking up in the lab will not be so easily replicated by competition websites, the aim of this tool is to make our villas in cyprus website a completely different user experience altogether.

We are about to launch our first mobile application that will give customers one of the most powerful tools out there to find places of interest, restaurants and reviews, point to point driving directions, distances, golf booking functionality and a plethora of other features that amount to customers having a panel of experts on cyprus, right on their mobile devices.

Welcome to another future.

Ok, we’re slowly taking shape here and we’ve added a small preview of the way we will be planning on displaying hotels information in Cyprus.

Visit our Hotels in Cyprus section, bookmark it because we will be putting more, alot more. Each image will take you to a new section giving you detailed information on each of the various sections of the hotel. You will also be able to save and compare the various hotels, gathering prices, ratings and amenities to ensure you get the best hotel at the best deal.

We’ll try follow a standard format for the presentation of all our Cyprus Hotels.

Introduction – that one main photo that sums up the hotel, the money shot.

Media album – the main photos from each of the main points of the hotel such as pool area, bedrooms, views, restaurants, exterior and other facilities for last.

Video – wherever possible we will include video.

Virtual tours – immersive 360 degree tours, but done a bit differently.

Ratings and comments.

Welcome to Cyprus Business Sites. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

Agios is on the scout for luxury 6 bedroom villas in cyprus

If you know of anyone or you yourself are looking for a rental agent please contact Agios as soon as possible. We have customers enquiring  about 6 bedroom villas in Cyprus for rent.

Please contact us here: Cyprus Villas

Welcome to our first preview of what you can expect on our new Cyprus Luxury Hotels

We’re going big, bright, and informative. We’ve realised that many of the larger Cyprus hotel booking sites fetch information from the same systems as each which is why presentation, information and prices to a large degree are all the same. We are going to take a completely different approach – we’re changing almost every aspect of how a hotel presents itself, at least on this website.

We’ll try tackle the important things you want to know when looking for a hotel holiday in Cyprus, like: what are the children’s facilities like, what is there to do in the area, and is there a daily activity plan i can make use of should i decide not to spend the day by the pool.

We consider a hotel room just the same as a luxury villa rental, you need to see it, explore it, know it and feel comfortable that what you will be arriving to is what you are seeing online.

You need to have peace of mind that all your requirements will be met from start to finish and they every aspect of your holiday will go smoothly.

One of the great things that hotel site do currently do is link into the tripadvisor review system.  Love it or hate it, most hotels are on there and it is a good way of assessing not the positive, but the negative reviews. We’ll be offering this same feature.

Our first hotel to make an entry will be the Aphrodite Hills Hotel. Something of an exception, this is not a beach hotel – it part of a 5 star full integrated resort, that happens to have a beach very close by. With a kids club, activity center, golf course, spa, tennis academy and village square restaurants, there is much to offer.

More info coming soon.

Getting your hands on 6 bedroom villas in cyprus when taking a holiday to the island is akin to finding snow in africa, rare but happens.

When you do find a villa with 6 bedrooms however, generally speaking, you have something that is of a fairly high standard.

Agios does enjoy having a presence on Aphrodite Hills as the 6 bedroom villas on this resort are magnificent. Boasting new build, contemporary design, sea views and easy acccess to amenities, these villas are quite literally the creme of the crop.

The really great thing about these villas is that they are
very economical per head, much cheaper than a hotel. Another handy thing is theu are great for geoups attending weddings in cyprus

Indeed many of the customers we have staying with us in these larger villas often return to the island regularly. These holidays appear to create a good villa experience for customers, and we hope you will enjoy a similar experience too.

Aphrodite Hills Hotel in Cyprus

Cyprus hotels, pretty much like all other hotels globally are fairly numb in the way they present information on the larger hotel booking sites. Agios is pleased to announce the imminent launch of its hotel section on www.rentcyprus.co.uk

Part of the Agios strategy has been to present holiday accommodation in as much clarity and detail as possible.

From villas in Cyprus, to restaurant guides to Cyprus wedding information and on to hotels, we continue to bring our users the ultimate online user experience.
