Villa Monica

Pernera, Cyprus

Villa Monica is located in Pernera, in the South-East corner of Cyprus, only 65km and less than an hour’s driving from Larnaca airport. Paphos airport (where many of the budget airlines fly into) is 175km away – about a two hour drive, most of which is on excellent motorways.

The area around Pernera includes some of the most beautiful beaches on the island - the local coastline has many rocky coves and small sandy beaches, the most popular being Fig Tree Bay (3 minutes drive away). However, the nearest beach is only 150 metres from Villa Monica.

Every type of water-sport imaginable can be enjoyed locally, including water-skiing, snorkelling and scuba diving, sailing, windsurfing and more.

The well-known tourist resort of Agia Napa (10km away) has plenty of lively nightlife, as well as numerous other attractions, such as its 16th Century Venetian Monastery or ‘WaterWorld’ theme park. Nearby Protaras also has many bars, clubs and restaurants, while Pernera itself has various family oriented pubs and restaurants. Cape Greko, the most south-easterly point in Cyprus is a national park, and has some fantastic secluded coves and beaches.

Farther afield, the villa is within easy striking distance of Larnaca with its picturesque streets and historical buildings, Lefkosia (Nicosia), the last divided capital in the world with its museums and character filled Old City, and the famous Troodos Massif, Cyprus’ mountain region.
