Authentic Cyprus Agrotourism Stays in Traditional Villages
Cyprus Agrotourism is a sustainable way to discover and explore Cyprus, by engaging local communities and empowering young entrepreneurships to stay and grow their businesses in the rural areas of Cyprus. For the traveler, it means staying in traditional homes, uncovering the authentic side of the island and avoiding the tourist traps, crowded resorts, and mass-produced touristic experiences.
Cyprus offers a unique agrotourism experience: a compact, explorable island where mountains, beaches, vineyards, and historic villages are all within easy reach. Here, agrotourism is not something staged, but an actual lived experience.
At The Slow Gaia, we invite you to experience Cyprus the way locals do: by staying in traditional accommodations, slowing down, and savoring the local cuisine and culture.

Agrotourism in Cyprus offers the freedom to explore without rush and savor the moment without compromising quality of experience
The Slow Gaia is an umbrella brand for carefully curated agrotourism cottages in traditional Cypriot villages. Our philosophy is rooted in slow living, respect for place, and meaningful travel.
We restore and host village homes that preserve their character while offering modern comfort. Each stay is designed to feel personal, peaceful, and grounded in its surroundings, avoiding commercialism or overproduction.
For us, agrotourism in Cyprus is not a trend. Since 1998, it has been our a way of honoring the land, the villages, and the people who keep them alive.
Our Cyprus agrotourism cottages are fully equipped to welcome the traveler and offer an authentic experience.
