Tsada
Encyclopedia
Tsada is a relatively big village 8 km North of Paphos
city center. Although the proximity between them, the 600m elevation difference gives to the Tsada area a totally different identity. The climate is much cooler all year long (during the hot and humid summers in Paphos the temperature gap can reach 6C) and it also is one of the few areas in the Paphos District
that snows almost every year by the end of January. Tsada was the home village of EOKA
national hero Evagoras Pallikarides. Although the history of the village can be counted 500 years ago, there is no significant architectural character, and only a few residences were reconstructed in the traditional way. It can be said that the only thing that makes the village special is the astonishing view towards Paphos and it's sea. Currently mass developing is taking place in nearby hills, with high-end luxurious villas with panoramic views of Paphos and the Mediterranean sea
being constructed over the last 5 years. The "Mellisovouno" hill between Tsada and Koili
village hosts Paphos television and radio antenna
.
. There is a bus connection to both Paphos and Polis - Lachi area on a daily basis. By 2010 Tsada will be accessible via the A7
which is planned to give Polis
a Motorway link. Moutti Tou Naki street is one of the busiest arteries of the village.
