Kathikas is a beautiful traditional village located on the Laona plateau at an altitude of 650 m above sea level, 25 kilometers from Paphos. From this plateau you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the southern coast of Cyprus.

Kathikas is  well-known in the region due to the fact that Kathikas is one of the wine-growing centers in this area. Right in the center of the village is the church of Panagia Evangelistria, and if you drive a little further you will get to the winery Sterna. Sterna Winery is an open-air museum of sorts, overlooking 50 hectares of vineyards, an old cellar for wine storage and a small winery. Wine has been produced here for a long time, but now the winery is using the most modern production methods. In Kathikas there is still one of the most famous wineries of Cyprus – K & K Vasilikon. This regional company was founded in 1993 by three brothers, each taking the lead in certain areas. Their combined knowledge and experience has allowed them, in a relatively short time, to turn Vasilikon wine into one of the gems of Cyprus wine, appreciated by the best restaurants, wine merchants and hotels in Cyprus.

If you get a chance, be sure to visit one of the rustic taverns where you can enjoy a taste of fine dishes prepared with the freshest ingredients. There is even a gin bar! Kathikas is popular with cyclists, walking groups and nature enthusiasts. Undoubtedly the place of interest for travellers, this small mountain village, with a population of about 350 people, is a shining example of a modern way of life in a rural area. Here you will experience the real Cyprus. This really is a Cypriot gem.
