Q:
WHAT IS the advantages of booking with a Licenced Company? A:
Imaging arriving at your villa to find that the pool is empty, lights do not work
and you haven't been advised of the building site next door. The taxi driver hasn't arrived
at the airport and you have no idea where the villa is located! The owner is living in the
UK and their phone is off and you have no contact numbers for assistance locally.
You've worked hard all year to save for your holiday so why risk booking with an
unlicensed companies or individuals who offer no guarantees or assurance that your
holiday villa will be as you were lead to believe. Anybody can make a website look enticing!!

members of the Association of Cypriot Travel Agencies (ACTA). We are a privately owned Anglo/Cypriot company with over ten years experience in

and apartments are Cypriot owned and are regularly inspected and maintained by
the owners and we also offer a comprehensive LOCAL round the clock back up

IS IT essential that we book our villa well in advance? A: It is essential to book your holiday villa well in advance especially
during school holidays starting from July until the first week of September.
Easter and Industrial holidays The majority of villas will become booked up a
year in advance. So to avoid disappointment book early. Please check the

hours.

Q:
HOW will we find our Villa? A:
As many of our villas are located away from the "hustle and bustle" of main Paphos
you will need a car. We offer car hire at very competitive rates in conjunction
with a highly reputable and reliable car hire company. Should you rent a car
through us, upon your arrival at the airport an agent from the car rental
company will meet you, complete the paperwork and hand over your vehicle? He
will give you precise directions (in writing) to your villa. A full
information pack will also be handed to you containing contact numbers and where
your villa key is located. Should you wish to go direct to your villa and arrange car hire at a later date
we will book a taxi to transfer you to your villa. (Please refer to our section
under taxi rates).

WHEN do we see a Havenvilla representative? A:
Our Villa Manager will call to see you on the next morning after your arrival
(not too early). He will answer any questions and give a short presentation
incorporating information regarding places of interest, advice on good eating
places, local shops
and some useful tips and guidelines to help you make your holiday
the best ever!
Q:
WHAT is the weather like in Cyprus and when is the best time to come? A:
Briefly, the weather in Cyprus is recognised as the best in the Mediterranean
area. Paphos in particular, enjoys 50 weeks per year of beautiful warm or hot
weather.
If you enjoy very hot temperatures then July and August is the time for you.
Q:
Will I need holiday insurance? A: Absolutely. We highly recommend that you take out a full comprehensive travel insurance to cover all eventualities. It is imperative that you bring all your
documentation with you.
