Hi All !
We are excited to announce that Aperanti Agrotourism in Cyprus will host its second co-living experience this autumn/winter season 2026-2027!❤🥳
We have been happily hosting guests from around the world for over 12 years, sharing our passion for homemade cuisine and local traditions, promoting sustainable eco-tourism, and spreading our love for nature. In 2025 we hosted our first coliving and we truly enjoyed doing this so this year we would love to repeat the experience.
Aperanti Coliving is the perfect place for long-term travelers and remote workers who wish to embrace our rural lifestyle and way of living, learn from the locals, connect with nature, and build a small community of passionate people with similar interests.
Aperanti Coliving is a great opportunity to stay and work in a local village in Cyprus, while meeting other like-minded people. Our community is built around shared experiences and meaningful connections. Many of our experiences are co-created, giving everyone the opportunity to contribute their ideas and skills to the group. At the same time, a dedicated coliving manager helps facilitate the experience, organize activities, and ensure everything runs smoothly. While we encourage participation and community involvement, nothing is compulsory. Whether you prefer joining our activities or simply enjoying some time on your own is totally up to you.
WHAT’S INCLUDED: activities on site (such as cheese making, cooking lessons, olive harvesting, foraging, and mountain trekking), high-speed Wi-Fi, electricity, water, underfloor heating, weekly cleaning of rooms and common areas, bed linen, and towels, basic supplies (coffee, tea, sugar, salt, spices, toilet paper, kitchen rolls, hand soap, washing up liquid, cling film).
Our agrotourism is located in the picturesque village of Pera Orinis in Cyprus, at the foothills of the Machairas Mountains, just half an hour’s drive from Nicosia, the capital. Cyprus generally experiences mild autumns and winters, making it the perfect escape from the cold months in Northern Europe. Cyprus is in the EU but not yet part of the Schengen Area, this may be advantageous for those whose Schengen visas are expiring but still wish to stay in Europe longer,
Aperanti is a traditional house dating back to 1915, carefully renovated to preserve its historic charm, featuring a wooden-beamed ceiling and natural stone walls and floors.
Aperanti comprises four cozy private rooms of different size, each with an ensuite bathroom, a central courtyard with seating, a fully equipped kitchen, a large dining/working area, and a recreational area. Our fields with fruit trees and olive groves are just outside the village and colivers are welcome to join us any time.
About the owners
We are Sara and Tassos, a couple of nature lovers who 15 years ago decided to leave the hectic city life of London to move to a small countryside village in Cyprus . I (Sara) am Italian and studied as a medical biologist. I moved to London for my PhD and there I met Tassos (my future husband) who was studying Environmental science. After several years in London we decided that we both needed a change in life...so it came the idea to move to Tassos' quiet village in the country side of Cyprus, to be closer to nature, to grow our own trees and to open an agrotourism to share our vision and life with visitors that wished to learn about local traditions. Aperanti came to life in 2013 and in all these years we have been hosting guests from all around the world, offering them our knowledge about the area, organising experiential workshops during their stay and cooking using our own products or local ones. We have fields outside the village where we planted several fruit trees (oranges, mandarins, lemons, apricots, peach, figs, mulberry). In those field there were already some very old olive trees (500+ years old), so we could collect olives to produce our own olive oil. We also have a small garden in our house (we live just few meters away from the agrotourism) where we grow few vegetables (mainly summer vegetables like tomatoes and courgette, and Mediterranean herbs).Everything we grow is organic. Colivers are welcome to join us in fruit collection and olive harvesting.
We believe in sustainability. We try to buy other products locally. Like free range eggs and honey from local producers and we make our own cheese by buying the milk from the nearby farms.
We are nature lovers, we enjoy hiking in the mountains and we would like to share our knowledge of the area with our colivers. Tassos works at Birdlife Cyprus and he can also share his knowledge of birds and protected areas in Cyprus.
Hope to see you in Cyprus this Autumn!

Why did you decide to open?
We decided to open Aperanti because we wanted a change in our busy city life and to live in a quiet village close to nature where we could grown our own vegetables and fruits. And we wanted to share our life and knowledge with other people with similar mind-set.
How do you manage the community?
We will interact with the community through weekly meeting, communal dinners and co-organised activities. We will offer our knowledge and advice regarding the area, and by introducing our guests to the local life in the village through our workshops that are mainly agriculture/food related. But other possible activities could be discussed together once the group is formed. Other possible activities in the area are cycling, horse riding, painting. Ourselves are also keen nature lovers and we do lots of trekking in the area, we are animal lovers (I volunteer to help stray dogs and cats) and Tassos works at Birdlife Cyprus so we may include some hikes, birdwatching and visit to the shelter if anyone is interested.
