Kontoyiannis Stone built village house

Kontoyiannis Stone built village house

 

This is the companion site of Kontoyiannis House, our traditional stone built villa which is rented out as a villa or four separate apartments all year round. It was created to give you a better idea of Kontoyiannis House, Kalavasos village and Cyprus in general.

 

 

My name is Christalla and I run Kontoyiannis House with my husband Panayiotis and my brother John. We are all Greek Cypriots and moved over from England in 1988. Look here if you are want to hear more about us.

Kontoyiannis house has been in operation as a family run business since 1994. It has been a member of the Cyprus Agrotourism company since the company first began operation.

This site was created by me, Christalla Vassiliou; originally it was to supplement the Kontoyiannis House accommodation website but has since grown and has now become one of my pet projects. I’m always looking at improving it so suggestions are always welcome. It’s a way for me to express my love of Cyprus and its traditions. My favourite section is the one about Cyprus food and wine, particularly Traditional Cypriot Recipes.
 

 

Kontoyiannis Family Reunion 2007

Kontoyiannis Family Reunion 2007

In 2007 the 1st Kontoyiannis Family reunion took place at Kontoyiannis House in Kalavasos. Members of the family from all over the world got together to celebrate the Kontoyiannis Family name. We are all proud of our Grandfather Yiannis Kontoyiannis who worked hard to build the house and who was well known and respected in his lifetime. People still talk about him to this day.

Hope you enjoy the site and let me know if you can think of any improvements that could be made. I would be more than happy to hear from you.
