Kathikas village is situated just after Peyia, only 22 km to the north of Paphos town. This historical village roots are dating back to the antiquity, built at the top of a hill. As for its name, rumor has it that the village was a stop-over for merchants since it is mid-way between Pafos and Polis Chrysochous. Here they would rest along with their animals at the old inn which existed at the time.

Today Kathikas is still one of the most attractive villages in the Paphos Region. Well known for its great many vineyards, grapes are the main product of the area and their cultivation the main occupation of the villagers. The ancient church of Panagia Evaggelistria, which is found in Kathikas, was built in 1870.  

The village forms part of the Laona project whose concern is the general improvement and boosting of the greater area on the basis of its traditional character and nature. Like the neighboring Akamas and Drousia Village, Kathikas and its surroundings are steeped in legend and tradition.
