Set within the village of Lefkara in Cyprus, The Agora hotel sits within the winding cobbled streets of the ancient village – situated at the foot of the Troodos Mountains, 650 meters above sea level. The town is imbued with a deep sense of history and is influenced by centuries of Italians, Greeks, Turkish, and Venetian merchants – making it feel both familiar and at the same time a new place to discover.
Agora translates to “a place to gather,” and as a former marketplace the owners have created a new gathering spot in this adults only luxury boutique hotel of 18 rooms. The hotel remains anchored to the community while welcoming travellers who wish to explore Cyprus and delve into the magic of this corner of the island.
The public spaces and the pool patio expand seating for guests for lounging and for dining. Restaurant Novél serves fresh and healthy food made with local ingredients. Simple dishes are Mediterranean inspired and designed for sharing. You can start your engine in the morning with the freshest eggs from Ygea Farm. For many, coffee is equally as important as a night's rest. For coffee aficionados, the Agora imports a single estate Brazilian bean that is delivered super fresh. It is then roasted to an exact preference by a local master roaster ensuring deep satisfaction in every sip.
The Bar is a casual, welcoming yet sophisticated living room for guests and has been adopted by locals as one of their own. Enjoy snacks and platters throughout the day or dive into our signature cocktails - choose from carefully curated Classics or a seasonal like Agora's Enzoni with Gin, local Green grapes, Campari, and lemon - served in a mid century, fluted low ball glass. The wine list is handpicked including some of the best regions in the world as well as Greek and local Cypriot indigenous varieties.
Live & Belong: The beauty of staying at The Agora is that you can live and belong in a place that you might just be passing through. Guests can choose to cycle through the region, hike through the mountains and olive groves, or join in a Pilates or yoga session. If you prefer the slow lane you can go on a guided tour of the village to learn more about the ancient art of lace making, visit a local winery, stay poolside or do absolutely nothing but enjoy your surroundings.
