Argaka is a ten minute drive from the popular and traditional town of Polis. Although a quiet location,it has the benefit of a selection of restaurants and bars, some on the beach. There are two small supermarkets as well as a bakery. Most of the properties available in Argaka have stunning views. With regards to Argaka's history, little is known prior to the 19th century, since the community is not shown or mentioned in any earlier maps or chronicles. It is most likely that the village was a new settlement at this time due to an influx of residents congregating around the local monastery of Agia Varvara (St Barbara) from neighbouring areas.
Although there are of course a number of new constructions being raised in the vicinity, Argaka’s rural and relatively remote location by and large attracts only those homebuyers who wish to live away from the crowds in a traditional part of the Cypriot countryside, thus helping to preserve the locality’s traditional feel.
