The Cyprus we fell in love with
We're a small team of locals and long-time visitors, and this is our hand-drawn map of the region — the coves, tavernas and stone villages we'd take you to if you rang us up tonight.

Heritage
Ten thousand years of stories
Venetian bridges, Byzantine frescoes, olive trees older than the coins in your pocket. Tillyria has been quietly accumulating stories for thousands of years, and we've gathered our favourites — village by village, ruin by ruin.
Step into the pastThe Tillyria directory
Every business in our directory has been visited by us — tavernas, guesthouses, boat trips, bakeries, car hire. Real places, run by people we know by name.
Take the road less signposted
Tillyria rewards the unhurried: the villages where time slows, the coves you have to walk to, the taverna where the owner brings you something you didn't order and you're glad of it. This guide is our way of sharing it — no sponsored listings, no tourist-office gloss, just the places we'd send a friend.
