Words Helen Brown
Our choice for a chic and stylish New Year getaway
LUCKNAM PARK, BATH
Lucknam Park is the ‘Rolls Royce’ of country house hotels. It’s housed in an idyllic Palladian mansion set in 500 acres of lush parkland. The quintessential rural escape. Under Executive Head Chef Hywel Jones, Lucknam Park has achieved its Michelin star for the twelfth year. It also boasts a state of the art and award-winning spa, as well as a purpose-built equestrian centre.

THE MASH INN, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE
You’ll be familiar with the work of uber-cool restaurateur Nick Mash as one of the founders of foodie-favourite gastropub, The Chamberlayne. His latest and greatest labour of love has seen him converting a former 1745 pub into a new generation inn. There are five rooms with spectacular garden views, done out in a palette of chic grey. The best part of a New year getaway to The Mash Inn however, comes from the kitchen. Jon Parry has a menu that changes twice daily and features treats such as buttermilk lamb leg with courgette.

THE BALMORAL HOTEL, EDINBURGH
Towering proud above the city, The Balmoral Hotel has been a landmark in Edinburgh since it began life as a grand railway hotel in 1902.

Inn at the Castle - Columbia Falls
A true castle with stories to tell in the walls and turret towers, columns, and arches setting on 10 forested acres with high tower views. From the west turret tower you can view Whitefish Mountain ski slopes and from the East turret tower you can look into Glacier International Park. Starting with the Kings master turret tower bedroom, which is 80' above the forest floor, you will be sleeping in a king size canopy bed with plush high end mattress and covers. When you are laying in bed, you will experience a nearly 360 degree view of the tree tops, and at night you will see the city lights far below. The 28' ceiling above gives you a spacious feeling. The remote modulating fireplace exudes warmth and a dancing flame that you control at your fingertips. Lanterns light the way up the winding spiral staircase to the King's Bed Chamber in the high tower. The entire turret floor below the bed chamber is exclusively for the King and Queen, featuring a large garden tub, a large double shower room, body spray, and rainforest shower bell. The bathroom also features a large walk-in closet and a sink for the King and one for the Queen. The garden tub is high in the King's tower and sits in front of a large window over looking the forest. The main floor bedroom in the King's tower is fit for a Prince who guards the royal bed chamber.
The Prince's Bed Chamber features a king canopy bed with a high-end mattress and Renaissance-style furniture. When you sink into that mattress you will not want to get out.
Rapunzel's Turret Tower reaches nearly 50' above the forest floor and features a 24' dome ceiling with skylights to view the moon and heavens. Rapunzel's Tower opens out onto a balcony for fresh mountain air and has a queen bed with a comfy pillow-top mattress that rivals the Princess and the Pea. The winding staircase from Rapunzel's Tower spirals down to an exclusive large bath area featuring an elegant clawfoot bathtub and double sink set in marble. The bathroom suite has a large closet and white/silver marble floors.
The third turret tower houses the Dungeon Quarters, which has an outside entry off of the 1000' entertainment deck. The Dungeon features a plush carpeted floor with a double bunk bed and bean bags for the floor. The young at heart will love this chamber because it has a flat screen smart TV connected to the net. Anyone banned to this chamber will not want to escape!
The spacious Castle Game Room on the main floor includes table games, puzzles, a reading area, and a lounging area for private conversation. This room features Roman columns and arches, Venetian plaster walls, African black walnut floors, and glass doors leading out to a southern exposure sundeck well above the forest floor.
The kitchen, ready to please royalty, is set up with a Bertazzoni 6-burner gas cook range imported from Italy. The refrigerator is a 48' built-in unit with ice and cold water in the door. The large deep copper sink with the castle crest embossed on the front overlooks the entertainment deck and the nearby forest. The 8' granite top dining bar between the kitchen and the large vestibule seats four and is well lit with recessed lighting in the arch above. A small arched passage off the kitchen leads to a pantry stocked with the King and Queen's favorite spices, condiments, and food so you won't have to go shopping right away but can start enjoying your castle adventure. The kitchen refrigerator, under the counter juice cooler, and wine rack, is also stocked with all sorts of beverages and food. All we ask is that you replace what you take with something similar or make a donation for this service before you leave. The spices and condiments are on the house.
The dining area features a hutch and buffet and extreme high-end table and scrolled dining chairs. The dining room also features Roman columns, Venetian plaster, and travertine rock floors imported from Italy. The large floor-to-ceiling windows look out onto the white birch forest and wildlife below.
The vestibule between the entry leading into the main castle floor is 48' long and features two 300-pound Old World chandeliers with 48 candleabra lights that glisten on the yellow-gold imported marble floors. At the end of the vestibule is a picture gallery framed with two Roman columns. Between the columns is another marble top with three dining chairs and a lighted arch above.
The living quarters, located at the heart of the castle, feature yellow-gold marble floors, framed by eight Roman columns and seven arches. The leather furniture allows you to relax from the business of the kingdom and enjoy the warmth of the 60' wood-burning fireplace. The living room area also features a twelve foot cathedral ceiling with a 300 crystal chandelier, inset in a circular ceiling. Two four-foot high silver candelabras stand on each side of the fireplace.
Every floor in the castle has a concrete base with hot water tubing throughout to keep the stone floors comfortably warm and inviting.
Just off of the vestibule is a guest bathroom with a marble free-standing sink for the common subjects.
On the main floor is a washer and dryer made by Asko from Denmark, an ironing board, clothes steamer, and iron for your laundry needs. We also have three high end portable queen mattresses and two sofa's that brings the castle sleeping capacity to 16. In the winter, if the King, Queen, or any of their subjects desire snow cats, just say the word and we will provide phone numbers for you to rent premium machines for a discounted price. You can have them gassed up, delivered, and ready for your outdoor adventures. After all, the castle is located at the trail head of over 60 miles of trails and mountainous terrain ready for you to experience.
Just to give you a little taste of what the Flathead Valley has to offer in the winter season, the ski slopes of the world-renowned Whitefish Ski Resort can be seen from the castle towers and is only a 20-minute drive and you are there. The resort offers 10 lift stations, snow cat adventures, sledding, boarding, fine dinning, bars, or just riding up the lift to view the entire valley below; and on occasion, live music, and special events throughout the winter. Bring your cold weather clothing and all the rest can be rented on the mountain or in Whitefish. Again, all you have to do is call us and we can arrange everything for you.
Mid-winter begins the Whitefish Winter Carnival, which takes in an entire weekend of nonstop fun. The entire town is lit up and full of action. There are numerous nightclubs, dancing, and any kind of cuisine you desire.
On a little quieter side, Whitefish offers an indoor ice skating arena to be fun for sure.
Just 20 minutes from the castle is the heated Majestic Arena, which features equine events including rodeos, and many other night concerts and events.
This gives you a little taste of the varied winter valley events. Just let us know what your tastes are and we can supply you with a complete list of all events.
For summer events, the Flathead opens up to literally thousands of things to do and events to attend.
The home page of this vacation rental ad includes a more complete listing of the possible activities the Flathead has to offer. Just to mention a couple, Glacier International Park with all of it's beauty and splendor, featuring helicopter tours, hiking, back-packing, camping, sightseeing, swimming, boating, snorkeling, picnicking, or just driving through is thrilling...don't forget your camera! The park entrance is only 35 minutes from the castle door.
From the castle door is also summer four-wheeling with miles of national forest trails and roads, not to mention mountains to climb and wilderness to explore. You can travel all the way to Canada and back on a four-wheeler from the front door of the castle. On a more laid back note, you can simply enjoy the castle and never leave the grounds.
The entertainment deck in the summer and fall will be furnished with a hot tub, professional barbecue/cooker, tables, chairs, hammock, fountain, and a fire pit, or you can get a suntan on the private sun deck on the other side of the castle.
On the castle grounds you can see most any animal the wilderness has to offer. The deer visit most days and sometimes all day long. My daughter has hand-fed many deer, including a huge 5-point buck. She has named most of the deer. Springtime includes the joy of watching the fawns frolic all over the castle grounds.
You do not need to bring much of anything other than special clothing you might need and your sense of adventure.
The kitchen is fully equipped with cooking pots and pans, baking dishes, dishes, utensils, cutlery, and more. The bedrooms are ready for you to jump into and relax.
If you have a special event, we can arrange for a gourmet chef or catering at a special price.
If you have any questions or need help, please contact us. We will work with our staff and do all we can to help you. We will do everything we can to make your stay a once-in-a-lifetime memorable experience.

There’s no denying it: August in Texas is brutal. Sometimes the only way to survive the heat is to escape the concrete jungle and find a pool that serves adult-friendly drinks.
Last week in Best of BubbleLife, we asked our readers to vote for the best place to beat the heat. Aside from backyard pools, which gained a surprising number of votes, here are the local winners:
Go To Grapevine
In this city, two waterparks tied for the winner, meaning Grapevine must be an aquatic wonderland. Dove Waterpark offers a climbing wall and lily pad walk, among other facilities. At Great Wolf Lodge, you’ll find an 80,000 square foot waterpark to entertain the entire family.
Visit The Waters In Lake Highlands
In addition to White Rock Lake, this area offers KayCee Club, a renowned private pool club open from Memorial Day through Labor Day. At KayCee Club, members can join the swim team or book affordable pool parties.
Escape To McKinney
You don’t have to travel far to feel the sand between your toes. As the only beach club and swim lagoon in North Texas, the Beach Club at Stonebridge provides fun for toddlers and adults alike.

We had an amazing weekend in Prague. Our event, paintball, was very well organized. The Bus (with air condition), the paintball instructor, beer and bratwurst, the weather, everything was perfect. Last but not least our guide, Barbara, was very kind, helpful and did an amazing job (and she is sooo cute :)).
So, i will strongyl recommend you to anyone, who is planning a stag weekend in Prague.
My apologies for the delay in getting back to. I hope it has been a busy summer for you so far.
We had an absolutely great time on Greg\'s stag in Prague and we were well looked after by your guides at every point.
The weekend got off to a great start with the two hummers and strippers to transfer us from the airport to the hotel. They arrived on time and Andre who met us at the airport was great to deal with. In fact everyone at Prague Weekends was very easy to deal with in the whole planning process. We knew what we wanted and kept changing our mind at the same time. The whole team helped to plan a great weekend with great activities, great nights out and no waiting around. The beer hall next to our hotel was a perfect place to spend the first afternoon and get the feel for the local culture as well as providing a base for us to meet. The steak and strippers evening was perfect. We had our own area in the restaurant, the girls were good fun and the upgrade to the meal was well worth it. It was one of the best stag meals we have had, and we\'ve had a few. The boat cruise was fun and the weather was perfect. The shooting worked out well and we all got to spend some good time together. Prague Weekends found us the prefect venue for our Saturday night Italian and got us entry and a table in the club we asked for which was perfect for a very late night indeed. All in all we met 5 different guides and everyone was very friendly, accommodating and made sure we had a great time. We even missed the departure of our bat cruise but found it very easy to reorganise on the spot with no problems at all.
I would certainly recommend Prague Weekends to anyone looking for great service, great value and a great stag weekend.
All the best guys, maybe see you in Prague again sometime soon,
Thank you very much fort he great service! Everything worked wonderfull and all of us enjoyed the trip! There is nothing that could have been better!
Our Trip to Prag was very good, from the Hotel until the Events with Gokart and Steak Dinner what we have booked, everything has worked and was very funny!
The next Time we will come to Prag you hear from us and we will book again at your company for sure!
everything was perfect.. thanks to Petra for the perfect organization.. our Driver Martin makes a great job.. und bara, our guide in the evenning was really nice.. so we had a perfect time in prague.. i will recommend you as much as i can.
Thanks very much for your assistance and the wonderful stag arrest on our first night. We found you to extremely knowledgeable of Prague and very helpful in assisting us with the rest of our night.
The meal you arranged combined with the \\\'Stag Arrest\\\' was the perfect way to start our Stag trip and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves that evening.
We would also like to thank you for making sure everything went smoothly with the \\\'Stag Arrest\\\' as well as the pick-up from our apartments.
We would certainly recommend your company to friends! :)
It was a great pleasure and we all enjoyed the trip very much!!!!
It was a big pleasure to have you organising the weekend. We all had great time (despite one of our friend almost killing the other whil go-karting) but in the end no much harm. The stag arrest was definitely the key moment and was beyond expectations. Just fantastic.
Thanks again & Best regards,
Thank you very much! It was a great Stag night and everyone had fun and enjoyed it - the organisation was excellent and the service was more than great.
You have been a very nice and talented assistant at our trip.
Im looking forward to come back to praque when there is not so many water. We had very luck that we left before the streets get flooded.
we enjoyed our wedding eye party and also the booked program. It was funny and also very sexy. The girls and Andrej did a great job. Maybe we will see us once more again. Have a nice week.
With best regards from Austria

Whether you’re a seasoned aurora-chaser or new to the thrill, staying in a glass igloo to watch Northern Lights as you fall asleep is high on many wish-lists of ‘must-do’ experiences. In this article, we head to Finland to explore your Lapland and Finland glass igloo accommodation options and we list our top five Finland glass igloo recommendations.
Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, is a breath-taking natural phenomenon of ribbons of green and violet lights that hang in the night air, swaying and sometimes crackling as they undulate beneath the stars. In Finland they are called revontulet, or “fox fires”, with folktales telling of an elusive mythical fox that runs across the snow, it’s tail sweeping snow into the air and setting the skies on fire.
Imagine watching the spectacular Northern Lights from the comfort of your own glass igloo, surrounded by nothing but snow and the beauty of the arctic wilderness. This is exactly what you can experience when you book a stay in a glass igloo in Lapland, Finland.
The best places to see the Northern Lights in a glass igloo in Finland is above the Arctic Circle in the aurora zone, beginning at Rovaniemi and stretching to the uppermost northern parts of Finnish Lapland. We recommend heading to the northern most parts of Finnish Lapland such as Saariselkä, Inari and Kakslauttanen, away from light pollution. The further north you go, the better your chances of seeing the lights are.
With a range of glass igloo accommodations available, it can be hard to choose the right one. To help you make a decision, look to our top picks for Finland glass igloo accommodation options below.
Lapland & Finland Glass Igloo Accommodation Options
Staying in a glass igloo is an adventure of its own. For many travellers in Finland, catching the train from Helsinki to Rovaniemi is a budget-friendly option, with onward travel deeper into Finnish Lapland completed using public transport or self-drive by hiring a car at Rovaniemi. For those that wish to maximise their time in Finnish Lapland, flying to Ivalo or Kittilä airport then arranging a private transfer from airport to your resort is an excellent option.
Some of the resorts we’ve picked below offer packages with return airport transfers and other inclusions such as Husky safaris and Reindeer farm visits to maximise your Lapland adventure in Finland, so be sure to check those out too.
Now for our top four Finland glass igloo accommodation options.
#1 Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort
Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort in Saariselkä, Finland offers a range of glass igloos and traditional log cabins for guests to choose from with costs approximately $400 to $600 per night.
Kakslauttanen’s glass igloos are the iconic, original glass igloo experience that started it all. The world-renowned resort is a mere 35 minute drive from Ivalo airport and is nestled between Urho Kekkonen National Park on the east and Hammastunturi Wilderness Area to the west. The glass igloos come in two or four person igloos and are available from 24 August to end of April for the Aurora season each year.
The resort has 50 glass igloos, divided into East and West villages with the West village being the most popular amongst travellers when asked for their travel tips.
#2 Levin Iglut Golden Crown
Levin Iglut, also known as Golden Crown Levi Igloos, is an intimate style boutique resort that offers glass igloos for approximately $400 to $900 per night. The resort offers three Suite Igloos that come with an outdoor jacuzzi and private terrace, nine Prime Superior Igloos, and fifteen Superior Igloos.
All glass igloos can accommodate two adults and two children and are designed to be luxurious and self-contained. Each igloo has its own bathroom, small kitchen, privacy curtains, motorized beds, WiFi, a television, air-conditioning, and bathrobes and slippers.
The igloos are a 15 minute drive from Kittilä Airport on the Utsuvara slope in Levi, and is open from September to April each year. Guests can dine in the glass-ceilinged Restaurant Utsu, which is open for breakfast and dinner year-round, but only opens for lunch in the winter. Travellers recommend bringing kid-friendly snacks and food you can prepare in the igloos, as each is equipped with basic facilities such as a microwave and minibar fridge. There is also a communal fire pit which is great for toasting marshmallows or sausages.
#3 Arctic SnowHotel & Glass Igloos
The Arctic SnowHotel & Glass Igloos is located on the shores of Lake Lehtojärvi on the outskirts of Rovaniemi. It offers accommodation in traditional snow igloos or in glass igloos with panoramic views of the Northern Lights, and costs approximately $200 to $400 per night. Travellers can stay in an ice igloo from 20 September to end of March.
Whilst situated lower north in the aurora zone than other options for aurora viewing, this is an excellent option for travellers wanting to stay in Rovaniemi. The Arctic SnowHotel and the glass igloos are a mere 40 minute drive from Rovaniemi airport and half an hour from Rovaniemi town centre.
The 39 glass igloos feature motorised beds that can be adjusted for optimal viewing, and the glass ceilings are well-insulated with electrically heated glass designed to melt snow and ice off the roof. The Kota restaurant, ice bar, and snow sauna are highly recommended by fellow travellers (including Pentikäinen herself, owner/manager of Aurora Tracks – see firsthand images below). Our tip is to be aware that rooms can be cold and sleeping bags are sometimes not warm enough for larger bodies. If you find yourself too chilly during the night, you can book into the hostel for a small additional cost if it gets too uncomfortable.
#4 Aurora Village
This village is located in Ivalo, Lapland and offers glass-ceiling cabins with a view of the Northern Lights at a cost per night is approximately $250 to $450.
Whilst the TripAdvisor rankings and enthusiastic reviews from travellers show this resort to rank high, we put it last on our list because while a great stay, Aurora Village’s glass igloos lack that wow factor that we look for when we imagine what a glass igloo should be.
Aurora Village’s Aurora Cabins are free standing circular wooden cabins in Indigenous Sami style, with a section of glass ceiling. You will still get a great aurora show from the comfort of your bed but it is not the true immersive 360 degree experience of glass igloos. For those travellers looking for comfort, privacy and other bucket-list experiences, Aurora Village is among our top recommendations for aurora viewing.
You can stay in one of the Aurora Cabins year-round, with aurora viewing activities available from September to April.
Final Thoughts on Finland Glass Igloo Stays
Each of these Finland glass igloo accommodation options offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience of viewing the Northern Lights from the comfort of your own private igloo. The prices and ratings we have quoted vary based on the season and availability, with each resort regularly updating and changing their service offers and packages. We recommend hunting out the best package and location that suits your needs and interests.
Whether planning an adventure to watch the fox fires as they sweep across a Finnish night sky, or you just want to add this to your package of experiences in Lapland, you’re sure to find viewing aurora borealis from the comfort of a glass-ceiling igloo a memory that will stay with you always.
As always, make sure you are well prepared in advanced so you don’t waste your money, by researching and choosing the best time of year to visit Finland to see the aurora borealis.
Happy aurora watching!

Hilton Worldwide continues vast rollout of digital access technology. Interview: Vice President of Digital Product & Innovation Joshua Sloser…
Hotel companies are starting to conclude that guest room key cards are perhaps no longer the key to customer satisfaction. The largest hotel companies in the world are thus now experimenting with technology that allows guests to use their smartphones to open the doors to their rooms bypassing the front desk upon arrival. Hilton Worldwide first launched mobile room check-in in 2015. At that time, Vice President of Digital Product & Innovation Joshua Sloser was impressed by its widespread adoption, and today, thanks to its initial success, the Digital Key system is rolling out over hundreds of properties. We asked Mr Sloser to tell us more about the project.
Digital Key is one of the many great features guests and on the Hilton Honors app. We have transformed the Hilton Honors app from being just a great booking tool into being a one-stop- shop where guests can go for anything they need throughout their experience with Hilton. We started with digital check-in with room selection, which gave guests the ability to check-in to the hotel digitally and select their exact room after looking at a map of the oor plan and hotel’s outside surroundings. Digital Key was the next step in creating the ultimate digital check-in experience. With the Hilton Honors app, guests can bypass the front desk and use their smartphone as their room key. Hilton Honors members have used Digital Key to open more than 3 million doors across nearly 800 properties in the US, Canada and Singapore. In the coming months, we are enhancing Digital Key even more. We’re making it easier for families on vacation or friends on a group trip to request multiple Digital Keys per room which can be accesses on more than one device.
DIGITAL CHECK-IN WITH ROOM SELECTION IS USED OVER 1 MILLION TIMES PER MONTH
Who was involved in working on the digital key project and how did the process work for nding the right solutions?
Digital Key is an all hands-on deck project. We created cross-functional teams between digital, design, hotel operations and IT. Our task? Develop an easy-to-use, visually pleasing feature and work with property owners around the world to seamlessly integrate it with our property management system. We started beta testing Digital Key at a handful of properties in August, 2015 – after rigorous internal testing. After great responses during the testing phase, we started rolling it out across the US and then to Canada and Singapore in 2016. We are excited to continue to expand this in more countries around the world throughout 2017.
How important is this as a unique selling point for Hilton? Why?
Mobile technology is a huge part of many of our guests’ lives. We are seeing more than half of all traffic come in via a mobile device. That informs how we engage with our customers. Technology, especially mobile technology, gives us the ability to reach our guests at the right time, in the right way and when they need us most.
Digital Key complements our guests’ lifestyles by giving them the convenience, access and decision making power they want. Almost one fifth of our hotels have Digital Key – and our guests have told us how much they love the feature. We’ve answered the call to provide a valued solution to streamline the check-in process.
What has feedback been like so far?
Our guests have widely praised Digital Key. We’ve seen feedback from guest surveys and feedback such as: “Digital Key is fabulous!”, “This is an extremely convenient bene t for being a Hilton Honors member”, or “For a frequent traveller like myself, the ability to select my room and bypass the front desk is a competitive advantage. No other hotel group offers this type of service.”
Digital check-in with room selection is used over 1 million times per month. That’s once every two-and-a-half seconds. Also, more than 70% of those who use digital check-in also use Digital Key. Overall, the Hilton Honors app is one of the highest rates travel apps in the Apple App store. We’ve giving guests complete autonomy on-property by putting the remote control to their stay experience in the palm of their hand.

Lovely holiday. Great house, great location, great weather and superb service from Marios. Big thanks to him and his family.
The villa was perfect, in a lovely quiet village. A short walk to the local tavern, though a steep walk. The villagers were very friendly. Marios couldn’t of been more helpful, having the loan of his car was a bonus, and the pick up and drop off at the airport made life easier for us, we would never of found the villa on our own, thank you Marios. Our 13 year old son absolutely loved the pool it was a good size and very clean. Would definitely recommend staying in this villa. Very peaceful and relaxing holiday just what we needed.
Peaceful and spotlessly clean
The communication with the website, and subsequently, the owner, was simple.
The villa was at the top of a narrow roadway, so very quiet with very few vehicles. Our first impression of the property was that it was spacious and well laid out. Honestly, couldnt have asked for any more.
The pool area/garden was clean and tidy with room for our family of four to enjoy the space.
The village is traditionally quiet, but special praise for the Letymbou Tavern. We ate there on four occasions, and were made to feel welcome and special each time. Great food and service at amazing prices.
Loved our holiday.
Cyprus Village in the hills
We had a lovely holiday at Villa Olivia; set in a charming cyprus village in the hills above Pafos, it really is a break away from it all, but only a short drive to everything, made easier with the car provided with the villa.
It was a real pleasure to meet Marios; the villa has everything you need and the welcome pack really sets you up at the start of the holiday. Airport pick-up is a real bonus and was much appreciated.
It was our first visit to Cyprus but certainly won't be the
Perfect private getaway
I booked a week away at very short notice - in fact, the day before we flew! Despite this, Marios was very accommodating and did everything he could to make the break work. He collected us from the airport and drove us the thirty minutes to Villa Olivia in the car that he provides along with the villa. He showed us round - the villa had everything we needed.
The neighbourhood is very quiet, a perfect little cypriot village. If you are looking for the bright lights of Paphos then this is not the place for you, however if you want peace and quiet with access to a couple of tavernas in the village then you will love it. We didn't try the 'English'taverna - but we did eat three times at the Letymbou Taverna which we highly recommend.
The villa had all the amenities we needed - fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, international TV (not that we used this!) And a good size pool. Everything was of much higher quality than other villas we have stayed in and the villa was spotlessly clean.
I feel we have found a perfect little getaway, close enough to Paphos to be convenient, but far enough away to be peaceful and relaxing.
Villa Olivia is built in a quiet spot of Letymou village 15 kilometers from Paphos. The area is mainly agricultural and famous for growing grapes. There are several wine factories which produce both red and white wine from grapes grown locally. Within 5 minutes drive is Tsada Golf Club, an 18 hole course, popular with both residents and tourists. Paphos forest is only 20 minutes away and from there you can drive through the cedar valley and reach the Kykko monastery at Troodos mountains. For those who like the sea can choose between the beaches of either Paphos 20 minutes away, or Polis -the aphrodite's baths 30 minutes. In Paphos town you can visit the Castle at the harbour, the mosaics, the tombs of the Kings, the ancient odeon and many more ancient ruins of the Paphos Kingdom.
