Argaka: holidays in unspoilt Cyprus

Argaka is a village in an unspoilt area of Cyprus. It features beaches, forest and some very nice (beach)bars and restaurants. Even during the almost unbearable heat of July and August the Argaka fields look fresh and green. Greenhouses produce cucumbers and tomatoes all year round and the hills are covered with citrus trees, tobacco, vegetables and other crops.

The beach of Argaka is a mix of sand and small. soft pebbles. During July, August and September there are 2 sea turtle species nesting on these beaches: the Caretta-Carreta and the bigger and more endangered Green Turtle. The sea is crystal-clear, unbelievably blue and warm until at least the end of November.

On the other side of the village, up in the hills, another natural delight unfolds: the Pafos Forest. The dense pinewood forest tickles the senses with its significant odour, singing birds and the sight of moufflons - if you are lucky.

Recently tourism and property development are on the rise. Along the coastal road wonderful restaurants and bars have opened such as the bustling Irish Bar Fly Inn Again, Lisa's Place where every dining guest is welcomed as a family member and Half Way House with it's relaxed atmosphere.

For all your other needs you can go to Polis Chrysochous which is only 9 km away and offers a wide choice of shops, restaurants and bars and amenities like banks, medical support and business facilities. Pafos, the capital of the district, is at a distance of 35 km, Pafos International Airport another 10 km away.
