Här på Cypern börjar semestrarna ta slut men sommaren har varit fylld av aktiviteter som fortsätter ett tag till. Denna månad börjar med en 14 dagars fasta innan den stora helgdagen den 15 augusti som firas till minne av Maria, Jesus moders död. Därefter har vi festligheter som vin festivaler, uppträdanden av kända Grekiska artister, Sabaton, ett grammis-nominerat power metal band från Falun kommer för första gången till Cypern den 28e augusti, Armin Van Buuren från Holland som är en känd DJ kommer till Mackenzie Beach in Larnaca och höjdpunkten är Pafos Aphrodite Festival som bjuder på La Bohème av G.Puccini den 3,4,5 september. http://www.pafc.com.cy/ Operan är full av tragiska men också komiska ögonblick precis som i verkliga livet, och vi i Pafos får njuta av denna unika musik upplevelse under bar himmel i hamnen med fortet och havet som bakgrund.
This year's opera will be La Boheme

Kataklysmos eller Flood Festival äger rum 50 dagar efter den ortodoxa påsken och firas i flera dagar. Denna dag är också känd som den Helige Ande, och hyllar nedstigningen av den Helige Ande till apostlarna. I Cypern har firandet också anknytning till Gamla testamentets berättelse om Noaks Ark, och uråldriga ceremonier anordnas för att hedra Afrodite och Adonis.
Pafos harbour & castle
Alla kuststäder anordnar konserter och spel nära vattnet och på strandpromenaden hittar du massor av kiosker som säljer leksaker och traditionell mat. Det finns tävlingar i vattnet samt en tävling för chatista eller rimmade låtar på den cypriotiska dialekten. Vatten är ett nödvändigt tillbehör och invånarna, särskilt barn fyller ballonger och vattenpistoler med vatten för en bra “splash”. Så var redo att bli blöt vid Kataklysmos!
We believe Pafilia (www.pafilia.org) is transforming Cyprus property with our strategy of providing more upmarket projects that provide a wide range of facilities. The completed luxury Amorosa Villas were part of this strategy, but now we are very happy to announce that our first full blown integrated resort, Elysia Park, is nearing completion.

On 21st June, the Minthis Hills Junior Golf Open took place for children aged between 6 and 17 years old, sponsored by Pafilia. With 73 entrants representing 8 different golf clubs around Cyprus and 10 nationalities, registration had to be closed a month before the event due to oversubscription. The overall winner of the Open was James Hewitt (14 years old) from the Joint Services Golf Club, with a further 4 competitions taking place (the full list of winners can be found below).
Evangelia Eliadou, executive director of Pafilia Property Developers the sponsors of the Open and the driving force behind Minthis Hills, commented, “We are very proud to be associated with the Junior Open, as it is where the grass roots of the game develops and it is our future. This year half the entries were Cypriot, demonstrating an increased interest domestically in golf. This is very promising and we hope one day, at Pafilia, to see some of our junior academy members playing in a major competition.”
According to Terry Scott, the CGR Junior Title, “This is the second year that Pafilia has sponsored the event. We are very grateful for all their support. The Junior Academy at Minthis Hills has been running now for 4 years in its current form, using the “The Junior Golf Passport Scheme” by The Golf Foundation. This has proven extremely successful and the quality of the childrens’ golf since last year’s open has improved dramatically.”
Stelios Patselides, general manager of Cyprus Golf Resorts who manage Minthis Hills Golf Course, added, “Both Terry Scott and Paul Dyer our pro have worked very hard to develop our Junior academy. For me, it was a pleasure to see so many children excited about the game and about playing at Minthis Hills. We believe the changes Pafilia has already made to the course make it even more enjoyable to play and the further enhancements Pafilia is planning will take it even further.”

About Minthis Hills
Opened in 1994, Minthis Hills (formerly Tsada Golf Course) is a par 71 golf course designed in 2 loops of nine with a course length of 6,550 yards or 5828 metres. It will also be one of the most distinctive and attractive residential resorts in the Mediterranean, redefining luxury living in Cyprus. Located in the rolling hills of Tsada village, between Pafos and Polis, Minthis Hills offers a haven of peace and tranquillity; a private retreat inspired by nature and breathtaking panoramic views. The exquisite homes, designed by world renowned architect Woods Bagot, are a modern expression of traditional Cypriot mountain living that blend into the natural contours of the land. Life at Minthis Hills offers complete escapism, but not isolation; unrivalled on-site facilities will include the recently upgraded 18 hole championship golf course, a spa, several restaurants and shops, with the thriving coastal town of Pafos, where you can find virtually anything you desire, including fine dining and concerts only 15 minutes away. This will be complemented by the highest levels of service, enabling owners to relax in the knowledge that everything will be taken care of for them.
The development will span across 5 million square metres, equivalent to 1200 football pitches, or 3.5 times the size of Hyde Park. This means just 2% will be built on and those buying there will be surrounded by open spaces, panoramic views of the mountains, sea or golf and will almost be unaware of any neighbours.
There are currently 9 villa types, including 3 and 4 bedroom villas, 3 bedroom bungalows and a one bedroom guesthouse that can be combined with any of the other designs. Property prices will start at around €1 million for the villas, depending on the type and size of plot. Plot sizes range from 1000m2 to 2500m2.

Pafilia – Leading the eco-friendly way
Green issues are a key concern for Pafilia. We have a dedicated history of preserving and caring for nature, with our latest projects pioneering the island’s green development, thus creating a win-win situation for both our clients and the environment.
Leading the green way
- In 2001 we were the first developer in the Paphos area to develop a sewage treatment plant in the Nerina Sunset complex in Chlorakas.
- We very rarely develop properties to the maximum build factor allowed, with a policy that green areas are by far the most important aspect. Indeed it is the development of residential oases that makes Pafilia properties stand out by a mile, with our 2007 flagship project, Elysia Park, providing a shining example.
- In the construction of swimming pools, we build around existing trees, with further islands of trees placed adjacent to pools providing an extra splash of greenery
- Property construction takes shape around existing trees wherever possible. Hesperides Gardens, completed in April 2007 is a prime example. Originally an orange grove, during the early stages of development we engaged the services of a tree surgeon to advise on the best possible tree saving scheme. As a result, the existing trees were cut back, dug up with their roots intact and transported to the green area of Iris Village in 2005. The result? The remaining orange trees at Hesperides Gardens and the replanted orange trees at Iris Village, meant that new residents not only reaped the rewards of well matured green areas upon moving in, negating the usual two year maturity time, but homeowners could even pick fresh oranges from the very first day they moved in!
A tree for every property
We go to great lengths to preserve and nurture the island’s natural heritage. Our promise to plant a new tree for every single property that we build is testament to this, and when coupled with each development’s extensive green areas and tree re-planting policy, we believe that no other developer on the island can beat our green policy.
Energy saving initiatives
- Nearly all Pafilia properties are designed with solar panels for hot water. With 340 days of sunshine every year the savings are immense, both on resident’s bills and the environment
- Clients who choose a custom-built residence are rewarded with extra opportunities to create a green, eco-friendly home. For instance by installing solar panels that also heat their swimming pool, thus saving extra energy.
A hallmark for green development
Our development, Minthis Hills, is located in the expansive countryside bordering the enchanting Tsada village. As our flagship project for 2008, Minthis Hills illustrates how sympathetic we are to the island’s environment. Above all, this is a lifestyle resort – a place to escape from the everyday pressures of life, and as such will be developed to enhance its stunning bucolic surrounds.
Water
- Rain water collection will be used to irrigate landscaped areas
- Recycling of sewage water, with three cleaning stages, will provide additional irrigation for landscaped areas
- Grey water system
Property design
- swhilst s
- The use of natural building materials, including locally sourced stone and wood, will create a development that is in harmony with its natural surrounds, whilst at the same time diminishing each property’s maintenance costs
- Design inspiration for the development has been taken from traditional Cypriot homes, aiding cool breezes during the summer months and also keeping the heat in during the winter months
- Water tanks will be in the basement, not on the roof
Abundant nature
Only 100,000will be built upon, providing extensive There are numerous, encouraging residents to explore stunning approximately 30,000will create tranquil, park-like grounds
The future
We are constantly investigating new and effective ways to improve our eco-friendly policy, and will soon be announcing specific initiatives to turn our green dreams into reality.
