In 1982 Savvas & Leontia Kallika opened the first automated petrol station and café in the west of Páfos. It all started when Savvas brought 20 litre drums of fuel to his small kiosk and selling it by the litre via a plastic funnel into mopeds & cars. Soon after, local farmers started using motorised tractors which needed diesel to operate. Savvas started to provide a mobile service from a one tone tank mounted on to the back of his pick up truck. He went from farm to farm, filling bottles, drums & barrels. Before long sales were topping 5000 litres per month and a new battery operated dispenser system was required to keep up with the demand. Savvas approached BP to build a petrol station &, after a three year wait for a license, the first automatic pump was installed. By 2004, over 20 years after Savvas started selling fuel, the petrol station, now supplied by EKO after their buy out of BP island-wide, boasts eight petrol pumps, a car service centre & a thriving café. The café is open Monday through to Sunday, serving fresh home-made food from 7 am until 6 pm while the petrol station operates 24 hours, with automated self service pumps for out of hours.
