Welcome to My Cyprus
Hello I am Christalla Vassiliou and I am your hostess at Kontoyiannis House. I was born and brought up in England and decided to move over to Cyprus with my husband when our children were very young. “We wanted them to grow up in Cyprus where they could enjoy sun, sea and freedom”.
We decide to convert our house in Kalavasos in the 1990’s when we realized that other people might enjoy a holiday unspoiled by the passage of time. Big city holidays are not always indicative of the identity of the country. You have to live how the locals live to experience the real country.
My brother also John decided to join us in Cyprus and he now looks after the orchards at Kontoyiannis where our guests are welcome to pick their own fruit at any time. John also helps with greeting our guests.So you can see that this is a truely family run business.
The best part of living in Cyprus for me is being able to spend some time in the winter months olive picking. Whatever other work I have I leave behind and just go out there and pick the olives with the family. We only produce for ourselves and some friends, we never sell it, It’s just so satisfying knowing that you are eating your own olive oil.
