THE AREA

Empa was originally a small village, just a short donkey ride away from the old town of Pafos. Today it has expanded into a large residential area, with all possible amenities. The tiny old stone church still stands in the centre of the village, with the considerably larger, modern one alongside. One of the major supermarkets is only a five minute drive from the village centre, and there are several excellent restaurants and tavernas in the area. Only 100 metres from this property is the highly acclaimed Stage One theatre, which stages several productions per year of a standard rarely seen in amateur dramatics.

The nearby coast road gives quick access, not only to the harbour area of Pafos, with its dramatic ancient fort and ruined castle, but also westwards to Coral Bay with its 2 lovely beaches and many sea sport activities, and on along the unspoilt Akamas Peninsular. From Empa, it is easy to join the road north to Polis, and all the mountain areas and the Pafos Forest. The Pafos/Limassol/Nicosia highway can also be reached without going into Pafos itself, and along this highway are both major airports, Pafos a 15 minute drive away, and Larnaca a one hour drive.

THE HOUSE

This delightful village house has been created by combining two old stone village houses, built in an L shape, and then adding a further spacious connecting area, on 2 levels. The outside has been rendered to give extra weather protection. It is situated in a quiet street, just off the main street of Emba, and has two main access points, one at the front, and another one opening on to the lane at the back, where there is room to park further cars.
The mature garden has several quiet sitting areas, and a number of mature trees, including bay and pomegranate, citrus trees, and bougainvillea. There is room for a small swimming pool, and a shower room is already in place for this.
