Villa Potami Cyprus
Holiday Home Rental Description
Perfectly placed between the magnificent mountains of the interior and the quaint coastline to the north, Villa Potami is a striking masterpiece of colour and style, in a wonderfully rural location.
These enchanting interiors are simply delightful. Oozing traditional charm yet fused with contemporary comforts, you’ll hardly want to leave once you’re settled in! An open-plan style is perfect for the home, ensuring you can chit-chat between the living, dining and even kitchen spaces.

In your adjoining ensuite bathroom, there’s a sublime Jacuzzi for all your long, lazy soaks and tranquil relaxation! There is a second double room as well as a final single room, with space for an additional bed if required. A full family bathroom with a large walk-in shower completes these superb facilities.
Out in your stunning garden, a dazzling 8m by 4m private pool radiates in the sunshine, inviting you to take a refreshing dip before pitching up on one of these fantastic loungers and catching some rays! The garden is incredibly rich, bursting with life among the flowers, bushes and shrubs and even the odd mature, fragrant trees. Be sure to spend some quality time with the whole group soaking up the sun and peace of this paradise before you venture out to explore your incredible surroundings. You can dine alfresco on your incredible veranda, looking out over your breath-taking garden expanse, or even keep an eye on the youngsters as they splash and play in the huge pool!
You’re just a minute’s walk from the shop for all your groceries, while within a couple of minutes’ drive you can be in the town, enjoying the restaurants, bars, cafes and even the beach! Tucked along the expansive northern stretch of Cyprus, Villa Potami is a breath-taking villa just a stone’s throw from all the bars, restaurants and even beautiful beach of Kervansaray.
With a stay here, you’ll also be just 10-minute from the charming centre of Kyrenia: once a Venetian harbour town, and its enchanting harbour is still utterly beautiful and something of an icon of the local area, along with its picturesque castle. The town features a magnificent backdrop provided by the Pentadaktylos Mountains and their dramatic forested hillsides. Nowadays it is a cultural and economic hub, with three universities, many hotels and a vibrant nightlife, as well as an annual culture and arts festival.
The beaches along the coast are all a little unique and have their own distinct features, ranging from shimmering golden sands to vast sweeping bays and, more often than not, perfect shallow waters where you can paddle, watch the gentle washing up of the waves and spend hours appreciating the calm of this immense sea.
Stylish beach bars, sophisticated beachfront hotels and romantic hill-top restaurants are dotted across this fabulous coastline, while there are several markets selling fresh, local produce, olives, cheeses, breads and meats. Activities in the region vary greatly, from the extremes of scuba diving and paragliding to the more peaceful golf, snorkelling, hiking or even a little bit of sightseeing!
There are many places of interest in Northern Cyprus, such as the History Museum various abbeys and churches, including the Mavi Kiosk and Bellapais Abbey. The beautiful Karpaz Peninsula boasts a pretty Marina and Golden beach. The Karpas region is rich in subterranean water reservoirs, with fruit, olives and tobacco plentiful. Small villages dotted around the region with their inhabitants living in the same way they have for years.In Famagusta the Ruins of Salamis are a must go, you can also see Othello’s Tower and the walled city. Nicosia is the last divided capital of the world; it’s great for shopping addicts, as well as history lovers. Kyrenia is excellent for boat trips, and it’s worth exploring the harbour and castle. If you are lucky you may see turtles from the boat.
As this wonderful region benefits from 300 days of sunshine every year, you’re sure to enjoy countless hours in the sun, soaking up the rays and relishing the peace and tranquillity of this unspoilt area.
Tucked away on the west coast of the island there is the tranquil Akamas Peninsula, a rich, vibrant and unspoilt landscape filled with deep gorges and sandy bays. Head to the Blue Lagoon (you can take an organised boat tour to it!) for an unforgettable swim spot!
Gastronomes will delight with a visit to Cyprus – the traditional Meze with a whole variety of small hot and cold dishes is a delight, meanwhile kebabs, Lahmacun, Mousaka or Kleftiko are also excellent options.
