Paphos, Cyprus
Minthis Golf Club
A hillside course set among ancient vineyards and olive groves in the Troodos foothills — a quieter, more intimate contrast to Cyprus's coastal resort tracks.
Course overview
Minthis Golf Club occupies a hillside estate in the Paphos wine country, elevated above the coastal plain in the Troodos foothills near Tsada. The 18-hole layout winds through mature olive groves and ancient vineyards, with views down toward the Mediterranean on clear days. The elevated setting gives the course a cooler microclimate than the coastal resort courses and a distinctly different character — more intimate and rooted in the natural landscape of the Cypriot hills. The broader Minthis Hills estate includes restored stone buildings from a medieval monastery.

How to get there
Paphos Airport is the closest international gateway for the Paphos golf courses, with direct services from across Europe. Minthis Golf Club is in the Paphos hills above Tsada village and is reached by car hire or private transfer from the airport. Larnaca International Airport (LCA) offers broader year-round connections and is the main international hub, but involves a longer road journey west.
Where to stay
Staying at Aphrodite Hills Resort puts you directly beside the course and offers the most seamless golf experience in Cyprus. The clifftop resort has an integrated village layout with hotels, restaurants, and leisure facilities — a self-contained base that works well for dedicated golf groups. Paphos town is a short drive for evenings with more dining options.
