a divine Travel Scout stay the Aphrodite Hills Resort in Cyprus in early summer . Johannes had won the Travel Scout stay in our Fantastic Advent Calendar on December 24th of last year. And after completing important exams, the medical student rewarded himself with a short trip to the exclusive 5-star resort near Paphos. Equipped with a rental car, they drove from the airport to the resort, where the two Travel Scouts stayed in a chic and very spacious apartment. Sports included tennis, padel, and fitness, and the two were treated to culinary delights at the resort. They explored the culturally interesting surroundings and enjoyed the stunningly beautiful beaches and, of course, the even more beautiful sunsets. "The Aphrodite Hills Resort is a real recommendation for all TennisTraveller who are looking for a diverse sports and island experience," was the conclusion of the two. How this came about and what the two young people experienced is best read for yourself in Johannes' travel report from the Aphrodite Hills Resort !
From here on, Johannes takes over – enjoy reading!
As travel scouts, we, two tennis-loving friends, were privileged to enjoy a very special stay: four nights at the Aphrodite Hills Resort in Cyprus. A wonderful opportunity to soak up the sun, get plenty of exercise, and explore the island a bit.
We stayed in a two-bedroom apartment that truly left nothing to be desired. Spacious, with a fully equipped kitchen, two bathrooms, and a terrace where we could enjoy our morning coffee in peace. The view of the greenery and the relaxed atmosphere immediately conjured up a holiday feeling. And thanks to excellent housekeeping, the apartment and kitchen were always clean.

Beautiful terrace
It was also nice that the apartment was centrally located on the resort grounds. This meant we were within easy walking distance of the tennis courts, restaurants, and a small supermarket. The included breakfast at the golf clubhouse was also a short walk away. The breakfast buffet leaves nothing to be desired, providing the perfect start to the day.
Of course, tennis was our main focus. The courts are in excellent condition and are located in a beautiful setting – you really do play with a view of the greenery. We played matches and even practiced a bit, and it was simply perfect. One of the courts is also covered with canvas, so you can play comfortably even in the blazing midday sun with some protection.

Newly discovered: Padel - simply great!
Another real highlight for us was playing padel. The modern courts are also located on the tennis complex, just a few minutes' walk from the apartment. Since we'd wanted to try padel for a long time, this was the ideal opportunity – and we loved it!
We also regularly used the gym, which is also within walking distance, to optimally prepare for the tennis season.
After so much sport, it's important to have a good meal. The Aphrodite Hills Resort offers plenty of variety in this area, too: We dined in the evenings at both the Italian restaurant and the classic tavern – both highly recommended. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the sea view from the terrace is magnificent, perfect for a vacation.

With delicious mezze
We also indulged in culinary delights outside the resort: In Paphos, there are many restaurants and beach bars, both right by the harbor and a little further away, where you can enjoy freshly caught fish or traditional mezze with a view of the sea. We particularly enjoyed the mix of good food and a relaxed beach atmosphere.
Of course, we didn't just enjoy the resort, but also explored the surrounding area with our rental car. We were particularly impressed by Paphos, a city full of history and life. From the harbor, you can stroll through narrow streets, enjoy a leisurely coffee, and visit the ancient ruins.
Another excursion took us to the famous Aphrodite's Beach. According to legend, this is where the goddess Aphrodite emerged from the sea – and when you stand by the water and look at the rocks, you understand why this place is so special. The water was crystal clear, and the landscape was beautiful.

For us, it was a perfect short break – and a real tip for all TennisTravellerwho are looking for a varied sports and island experience.
