Vasilias Nikoklis Inn

Vasilias Nikoklis Inn is a family-owned inn at Nikoklia in the Paphos countryside, 7 km from Paphos airport and about 17 km from Paphos town. It has been lovingly restored, with original wooden beams, a vine-covered terrace and views over the Diarizos Valley, which is known for bird watching and cycling routes.

The Konstantinou family has owned it since the early eighties. Weddings here are exclusive hire, for 20 to 120 guests, and the main season is mid-March to mid-November, with extensions announced during the year. An in-house coordinator and trusted suppliers handle the flowers, decor and catering. It is a rural spot, so guests need their own transport or taxis.

Choose between a private vine-covered courtyard and a eucalyptus garden for the ceremony, both with wooden benches, village chairs and a handmade arch. The Courtyard Package suits up to 30. Cocktails follow in the courtyard or under the carob tree, dinner is on the main terrace under the pergola, and dancing moves to the pool area. In cooler months the winter room with its fireplace takes over.

Menus run from a Village BBQ to Mediterranean Flavours, with cocktail jars and award-winning wines. Venue hire runs from 15:00 to midnight, with the first dance around 20:00. A Marriage Officer can conduct a legal civil ceremony on site.

The inn has eight double rooms for guests on the wedding night, with breakfast the next morning and extra nights on request. Six are on the first floor, including the bridal suite, and the other two include a preparation room. Rooms can be hired individually, and baby cots are available.

For guests beyond those eight rooms, ask the team about places nearby, with Paphos town about 17 km away. Coaches, open-top buses and taxis are available through their supplier list, and there is free parking for up to 50 cars within walking distance. Showrounds run in the mornings if you want to visit before booking.
