4-star hotels in Sotira
A shortlist of 4-star hotels in Sotira, from villas with private pools to family-sized houses with kitchens and gardens. It is for couples, families and small groups who want space and self-catering in a quiet village setting on Cyprus's east coast.
Staying in Sotira
Sotira is a village in the Famagusta District of south-eastern Cyprus, sitting inland behind the coast at Ayia Thekla and within easy reach of the resort of Ayia Napa. These 4-star properties are villas and houses rather than a single hotel block, and most carry an Ayia Thekla address, the coastal strip along Ayia Thekla Avenue and Ayias Theklas, while others sit in the village itself on Aristoteli Valaoriti, Paralimniou or Mpoumpoulinas. A few give a street in Ayia Napa, next door.
The result is space: kitchens, dishwashers, washing points and private outdoor pools in many of them, gardens, barbecues and terraces in others. That suits families with children and groups who want to cook and spread out, plus couples after a quiet base with the beach and the nightlife of Ayia Napa a short drive away. Business travellers should note that these are self-contained villas, not serviced city hotels. Pick by what you need: pool, kitchen, parking or proximity to the beach.
