THE AREA:

Gemstone Village is situated on the edge of the traditional village of Choirokoitia (also spelt Khirokitia), about 10 minutes from the local Governors beach and its' watersports and tavernas.

Its' stone built houses and small winding streets stand on a ridge with views across the hills and down to the sea. You can follow the nature trail from the village to the UNESCO World Heritage archaeological site of the same name which contains some of the earliest traces of human settlement on Cyprus.

Although enjoying a rural location Gemstone Village is ideally located for exploring the island, being mid way between Larnaca and Limassol (about 25 minutes) and the capital of Nicosia (40 minutes). There is also easy access to the beautiful Troodos Mountains which are popular for their walking and cycling trails and in winter it is possible to ski on Mount Olympus (1952m). The mountains also offer a cooler alternative for a day out during the heat of summer.

Larnaca has a lovely palm tree lined esplanade, a marina, an atmospheric old "Turkish quarter" and several attractive Churches and Mosques. It is also a popular centre for scuba diving especially the dive on the wreck of the Zenobia an enormous car ferry which sank in 1980 just outside the port.

Limassol is the largest seaside resort on the island and offers a wide range of activities including winery tours, various museums, a medieval castle as well as many restaurants, cafes and bars. Nearby you will find Fasouri Watermania, one of the top water parks in Cyprus.

The island capital of Nicosia is now the only divided city in the world. It has an attractive medieval quarter at its core, a good range of shops including some trendy boutiques as well as some excellent restaurants. It is also home to the Cyprus Museum which houses one of the best archaeological collections in the Mediterranean. It is possible to cross to Turkish occupied North Nicosia on foot and to explore the Turkish part of the City.
