Konia is a very friendly, picturesque village 190m above sea level directly above Geroskipou and Kato Paphos. It is situated in a peaceful hillside on the outskirts of Paphos, not far from the main town.
It is a traditional community with spectacular views all over Paphos. Konia is popular with families, couples, retirees and locals who want to have the added benefit of being in a village environment, but also want to be close to many facilities
Village shopping in Konia itself is limited to essentials, but in about 5-10 minutes drive you can be in the centre of Paphos main town where you can find just about everything you need.
One of the added advantages of living in Konia is that the Paphos Mall is only a few minutes drive from the village, and houses Orphanides, the biggest supermarket in the region. At the Paphos Mall (where there is plenty of parking available) you will also find a restaurant, coffee shop, boutiques, shoe shop, baby shop, phone shop, cosmetic store and more.
A couple of minutes drive from The Paphos Mall, heading towards the main town, you will also find Debenhams, Next and Early Learning. Many other well-known chains are situated in central Paphos, including Marks and Spencer’s and Peacocks.
If you are a beach lover, you’ll be pleased to know that Konia is also near some of the best blue flag beaches on the island, which offer a wide range of water sports including jet skiing and paragliding. Many festivals take place on these beaches during the summer months so they do get busy.
Snorkelling and scuba diving are also available. Paphos Waterpark, a major tourist attraction that offers fun for all the family, is also nearby.
The village is within easy reach of the motorway and has the added advantage of being only 15 minutes from Paphos International Airport. Larnaca International Airport is approximately 1½ hours away, with the island’s capital, Nicosia, about 2 hours away.
Conveniently, Konia is also very close to The General Hospital. Or if you prefer, many private hospitals (fee paying) are also in the vicinity. All offer excellent healthcare.
If you have children and are thinking about their education, both international and local schools are nearby. The international schools are all private, with varying fees according to age.
For those of you who are golfers, this could be the perfect area for you with a choice of three (soon to be four) 18-hole golf courses, each between 15-20 minutes drive away.
Konia is also close to many of the famous archaeological sites, including the medieval Fort near the harbour, the Tombs of the Kings and many churches and museums.
In the summer this area isn’t as hot and humid as the coastal areas due to its location. In the winter, temperatures rarely fall below 7 degrees in the evening.
Konia is an area popular with all nationalities as well as locals, and due to its great location and nearby amenities, is definitely worth taking a look!
