Village calm, a short drive from the city: why Anarita is one of the quietly best places to live in Paphos.

Ask people in Paphos where they would live if they could start again, and a surprising number name the villages just outside town. Anarita is one of them: a small, green village about 12 km from Paphos, close enough for an easy commute and far enough to hear the birds in the morning.
A village with deep roots
Anarita has been lived in for centuries. It appears in medieval records, and in 1468 King James II granted it to the knight Jerome Salviati. Surface finds in the area go back to the Hellenistic period.
For generations it was a farming, livestock and dairy village, known locally for its small cheeses and anari, the soft white Cypriot cheese some say gave the village its name. That rural character is still there today, in the fields around the village and the slower pace of daily life.
At its heart stands the church of Agia Marina, with the chapels of Agios Onisiforos and Agios Epifanios nearby. Near the chapel of Agios Onisiforos lie the remains of an old monastery of the same name.
Close to everything that matters
Anarita sits about 105 m above sea level, on gently rising land between the coast and the hills. Everything you need day to day is close by:
Destination | Approx. distance |
Eleouthkia Park and Anarita picnic area | 1.2 km |
Timi village, next to Paphos International Airport | 1.8 km |
Nearest beach (Mandria) | 4 km |
Paphos town | 10–12 km |
The village has its own primary school and kindergarten, which makes it a natural choice for young families. Paphos town, with its shops, hospitals, schools and harbour, is an easy drive away.
Everyday life, the village way
Life in Anarita moves at a gentler pace. Mornings start with coffee on the veranda and a view over open fields; evenings end with a walk through quiet streets where neighbours still stop to talk.
For the outdoors, Eleouthkia Park and the Anarita picnic area are just over a kilometre away, ideal for weekend walks, family picnics and children's play. The coast is about 4 km away, so a swim before dinner is an easy habit to keep.
The village's farming roots mean fresh, local produce and a strong sense of place. Living here, you are part of a real community rather than a holiday resort.
