Vasilias Nikoklis Inn — Venue Review, Cyprus Wedding Photography
The Vasilias Nikoklis Inn is one of our favourite venues to photograph destination weddings in Cyprus. Truly Cypriot and full of warmth and charm, the venue stands alone and is private and intimate. It has gardens, a pool terrace, ample parking and beautiful surroundings.
A traditional Cypriot wedding venue near Paphos
The traditional family-run inn is set in a valley in the region of Diarizos in Paphos. It was once a khan — a place for people to rest and feed their animals and take a welcome break themselves in the Cyprus sun. Some things have barely changed: you will see goat herders still tending to their flock and Cypriot women farming their olive trees by hand. The inn, near the village of Nikoklia, sits on a bend on the west bank of the Dhiarizos river with extensive views of the Troodos mountains and down to the sea.
A wedding present that became a beloved taverna
The original building was given to the present owners of the inn, Tassos and Dora Konstantinou, as a wedding present. It was a building with potential and they had a dream to make it into a wonderful taverna for people to enjoy again. It was a successful venture and the building was extended to look like it does today over a period of many years. It is now run by the new generations of the Konstantinous.

The staff at the venue are amazing — you feel like part of their family, and there is nothing they will not do to make sure your special day goes like a dream.
The courtyard
The courtyard is intimate, pretty and shaded by grapevines and can be decorated any way you can dream of. The staff will help you to achieve the perfect look for your day. From rustic to sophisticated, the only thing stopping you is your imagination. They know some amazing florists and decoration suppliers, or you can bring your own.
Maria at Flowershop Aliki is one of the main in-house suppliers for Vasilias and is truly wonderful at her job — we have chosen her for our own wedding. You may even get to meet one of the two friendly house cats that reside at the inn.
As the sun sets, twinkling lights make the venue even more magical.
