Statos-Agios Fotios Christmas Village
The Christmas Season has started! Special Seasonal Villages have sprung up giving visitors a winter treat. The nearest one to Paphos is at Statos-Agios Fotios. So if you are young or young-at-heart then head there for some festive fun.
Statos-Agios Fotios
The holiday villages are open from now until January 6th. I drove up to Statos-Agios Fotios as it is only half an hour away from Polemi. You will find at near Pano Panagia, at the edge of Paphos Forest. I arrived just after sunset, so I would be able to get some nice twilight pictures. The drive up was fantastic, as the countryside looks amazing when bathed in late-afternoon setting sunlight.
If you are arriving at the village from the direction of Nata, then drive past the Square and you will find a big parking area. If you are coming from Panagia you will find parking before the village.
As well as the village itself, there are also a lot of activities that will be occurring here between now and January. You can read more about them on the dedicated website. I managed to find a link to take you directly to an English translation. It is a 48 page PDF file, so has plenty of information! The following is the most important bit though:
The operating period of the Christmas Village is from
November 22, 2025 to January 6, 2026 as follows:
Opening hours: 11.00am – 7pm
(except for 12/25/2025 & 1/1/2026,
for which hours will be determined at a later stage)
Festive Bus
The first thing you may hear is the sound of the festive train that is driven around Statos-Agios Fotios. It blares out a mix of Christmas hits and each ride lasts a few minutes.
We will have some more drone shots at the end of the article. Now though, I want to have a look around.
Bus Stop
This was where you get on and off the festive train.
Into The Village
I had seen the basic square layout of the village, so I decided to start at one corner and make my way around.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
