Icarus House was completed in January 2005. It is a three bedroomed house occupying a corner position. It boasts a roof terrrace, a balcony, two patios, small garden areas on three sides and private off road parking.
Inside there is air-conditioning in all the bedrooms and in the lounge/dining area. The units double up as heaters for the cooler winter evenings, and there are halogen heaters too, should they be required. Please note when comparing prices that some places charge extra for air-con, which could add up to quite a sizeable amount for a property this size.
The property is well-equipped in a modern style. The tiled roof terrace has sun loungers, a barbecue and a good view over the swimming pool. From the roof terrace an internal marble stair case leads down to the first floor, where the three bedrooms all have built-in cupboards with drawers and hanging space (and hangers). There is a balcony leading from the main bedroom. There is also a family bathroom on this floor as well as a shower room and additional toilet on the ground floor.
The lounge area has two double sofa beds, 2 armchairs, a TV with many English satellite channels, a DVD player, and a radio/CD player. The dining table seats six, but extends to accommodate eight easily. Sliding glass doors lead from both lounge and dining areas to outside patio areas.
The kitchen has granite worktops, a dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, fridge/freezer, oven, hob, extractor hood, kettle and toaster; as well as plenty of glasses, crockery, cutlery, pans and utensils.
There is also an iron and ironing board and 2 hairdryers.
The complex has a large swimming pool with parasols and sun loungers for the use of residents and their guests. There are also poolside changing facilities, showers and toilets.
The property is situated in a mainly residential area; it is within walking distance of numerous bars, restaurants, shops etc. but far enough away from the hustle and bustle to allow a peaceful night's sleep.
Hire of baby cots, high chairs and stair gates possible.
We can give you the phone number of a babysitter. 

One of the many great things about Paphos as a holiday destination is the short transfer time from the airport. We can arrange for a driver to pick you up at the airport with a key for the property. This will cost from about 20-30Euros depending what size vehicle you need, and you should be in the house within half an hour.
On average the sun shines for betweeen 320 and 340 days a year in Cyprus (depending on which web-site you look at).
However, Cyprus is not just about sun-bathing. Why not come in spring, when the weather is pleasant, if not hot, but ideal for hiking, and for visiting the many sites of historical interest whilst they are less crowded.
Don't worry if your Greek is not great, as most of the locals speak English. Driving is on the left and electricity is 240 volts with 13amp square pin plugs just like U.K.
There's something to please everyone in Cyprus. From relaxing by the pool, to doing a different activity every day. From the nightclubs in bar street, to the nature reserve on the nearby Akamas peninsular. From secluded rocky coves to organised sandy beaches with sunbeds and parasols. From fine dining in restaurants serving cuisine from all over the world, to local authenic tavernas. You can even ski in Cyprus, though to be honest you probably wouldn't come to Paphos just for the skiing. However, the Troodos mountains are close enough to drive to for the odd day or two's skiing if you just wanted a taster (you can hire ski kit there), rather than commiting yourself to a whole skiing holiday. (Our prices are at their cheapest in Winter too!) 

Activities in and around Paphos include swimming, scuba diving, water-skiing, and other watersports, horse-riding, golf, tennis, bowling, walking, cycling. There are lots of places to visit, especially if you like ancient ruins or Byzantine churches. There's also lots for the nature lover. Loggerhead and Greenback Turtles nest on the beaches on the Akamas peninsular, and the rare moufflon may be glimpsed on the forested slopes of the Troodos mountains if you are lucky.
You don't need to hire a car as our house is within walking distance of both Kato Pafos and Upper Pafos. Kato Pafos is the more touristy area, with numerous restaurants and bars, etc. Nightlife is good, with plenty of bars and clubs staying open until the early hours, but without the excesses of Ayia Napa. There's a picturesque harbour with views to the old fort. There's a wealth of ancient ruins - visit the rock tombs or see the ancient mosaics at the House of Dionysis. There's an aquarium, a choice of beaches, banks and shops. If you need new glasses take the opportunity to visit one of the many opticians; spectacles are much cheaper than in U.K. In Upper Pafos there are more banks, shops and cafes; and a there's a market catering for both locals and tourists. It sells a range of items from fruit and vegetables to souvenirs. Nearby is the bus terminus, with buses to other major towns in Cyprus.
Local tour agents can arrange a variety of outings - coach or mini-bus trips to the many places of interest, jeep safaris, donkey rides, boat trips, mini-cruises to Rhodes, Syria, Lebanon and Egypt - even a day trip to Egypt by air.
If you do want the independence of your own hire car, then you can visit all the above and more at your own pace. There are good roads between the major towns, but for some areas a four-wheel drive would be more suitable.
