Swim before breakfast in the resort pool, walk 1 minute to the sea, and be at the harbour tavernas 5 minutes later for dinner with the boats in front of you.

A top-floor apartment inside the Basilica Holiday Resort, in the old heart of Kato Paphos: a king bed and 2 singles, air conditioning in every room, fibre WiFi, a full kitchen and Sklavenitis across the road. The resort pool and gym are yours as a guest. For a family or friends who want the harbour on foot and a pool to come back to.

The master bedroom has a king-size bed and the second bedroom 2 singles, with air conditioning in both bedrooms and the living room, and a high chair for the little ones. The apartment is equipped with fibre WiFi at 200 Mbps and air conditioning throughout. The kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, an oven, a Nespresso-compatible coffee machine, and the cutlery, plates, pans and cups to cook at home.

The whole apartment is yours. As our guest you can also use the resort pool, open roughly May to November, and the gym, both run by the hotel, and the resort's coin laundrette downstairs for anything that needs a wash. Free parking is inside the resort, with no assigned space. The hotel reception opens the gate when you call and say you are a guest of Thalia 303; the number is in your pre-arrival message.

Your check-in is with us, not at the hotel reception: your key will be waiting in the key box, and the code and the walking directions to Block Thalia will be with you before you arrive.

We are a small local team, quick on messages through the app, and nearby if you need anything in person.

You are in the old heart of Kato Paphos. The harbour and the municipal beach are about 250 m away, the archaeological park with the famous mosaics is on your doorstep, and the ruins of Agia Kyriaki Chrysopolitissa with St Paul's Pillar are a 2-minute walk up the street. Sklavenitis sits right across the road, open 8:00 to 21:00 (Sunday 10:00 to 21:00), the Zorbas bakery on Apostolou Pavlou Avenue is open day and night, and the harbour tavernas are 5 minutes on foot.

You do not need a car day to day: the harbour, the beach, the restaurants and the shops are all on foot. The 612 airport bus stops on Poseidonos Avenue, a few minutes on foot from the resort, about 30 minutes. The RideNow car-sharing app works well here, taxis are easy, and the airport is about 30 minutes by car.

The apartment is self-catering, so there is no daily housekeeping: some essentials will be provided and should last you for a day or two (no extras). Anything else you need is close by: you will find Sklavenitis on Ledas Street, 1 minute on foot across the road, open from 8:00 to 21:00 (Sunday from 10:00), and Zorbas bakery on Apostolou Pavlou Avenue, 7 minutes on foot, open day and night, for bread and milk.

The beds will be made up and a bath, face and pool towel each laid out for you. Kindly note that this is the one set for your stay and no additional towels or linen are provided. The resort's coin laundrette downstairs is there whenever anything needs a quick wash.

Good to know before you book: the apartment is on the 3rd floor with no lift, about 55 steps up, which is also why it is quiet. The bedrooms face away from the road. The resort pool has no lifeguard, so swimming is at your own risk.
