Situated on the edge of the ancient village of Nikokleia, is the charming Vasilias Nikoklis Inn. This small family owned and run hotel, located six kilometres inland from Pafos International Airport and twenty minutes drive from the town of Pafos was previously an ancient khan, a place for travellers to rest and feed both themselves and their animals. The Inn stands on a bend on the west bank of the Dhiarizos river with views up the valley to the Troodos mountains and down the valley to the sea. Hemmed in by lemon and olive groves, it is profusion of plants of every hue, from bougainvillea to fig trees and cool, grape covered dining terraces. **** The Vasilias Nikoklis Inn was featured in The Sunday Times Travel Section amongst 10 most popular holiday hotels.
