Golf -
There are three golf clubs in the Paphos area with Tsada being the closest to the villa. Tsada golf course is approximately a half hour drive from the villa going towards Paphos. The other two are Aphrodite Hills and Secret Valley both situated nearer Paphos.
The Tsada Golf Club is set in the grounds of a 12th century monastery which lies in a gentle picturesque valley, 550m above sea level. Created by Donald Steel, this is an 18 hole par 72, 6208m course designed in two loops of nine. It offers superb variety as no two holes are the same and is suitable for players of all abilities. The fairways are lined with thousands of trees and scattered with sand bunkers claiming any misplaced shots. Undulating greens have perfect putting surfaces. The club-house facilities include a restaurant, bar, changing rooms, with showers and saunas, swimming pool, driving range and a putting green.
Skiing -
Skiing is possible in the Troodos mountains during the winter, usually until March. There are four runs for beginners through to advanced skiers. Equipment can be hired. Today many hundreds of Cypriots and perhaps as many foreigners enjoy the wonderful sport of skiing every winter on the beautiful slopes of Mt Olympus.
