KTIMA 1937 Kannides started its operations in June 2013.
The Complex consists of five self catering apartments (four one-bedroom and one two-bedroom). Each apartment has a well equipped kitchen, sitting room, TV, Wi-Fi internet access, air-conditioning and fire place or wood-stove for a cold winter months.
Apartments are set around free form swimming pool, where guests can relax on the wooden sun beds and enjoy drinks and snacks from a pool bar which also serves breakfast (Working hours of the bar depend on season). BBQ facilities are also available on site.
The original house was built by Spyros Kannides and his wife Marikka Kannides in the late 1920's. It was passed on to one of their sons Savvas Rikkos Kannides (born in 1937) and finally to their grand children.
The house had eleven rooms which have been renovated and transformed into five apartments. The property was originally used for family farming, mainly chickens, rabbits and pigeons. The stone built pigeon house has been reconstructed and can be seen on the property today.

This special place has become known as the Baths of Aphrodite.

Local "Phenomenon" You would expect your car when put in neutral to be moving downhill, right? There's a spot on the road, just at the edge of the village (ask for directions) - carefully drop into neutral and watch what happens!
