Peyia is situated in the rugged hills north of Paphos and is a short drive from the nicest beach in the area at Coral Bay. The coastline is one of Cyprus' most photogenic with the crystal waters of the Mediterranean at it’s feet and, to the north, the silhouetted peak of Ayios Yeoyios which marks the beginning of the untouched Akamas Peninsula. Peyia is the quiet neighbour to the bustle of nearby Pafos and is a great place to while away a relaxing lunchtime or evening with a plateful of meze and a cold bottle of beer experiencing the warm hospitality of the real Cyprus. It is also a great base to explore the inland villages and countryside on the quiet, well made, roads.
Nearby Kato Pafos has a busy harbour and many archaeological sites. It has a lively and friendly atmosphere, boulevards are lined with palm trees and there are ample restaurants and bars to spend the afternoon in if you are tired of the beach.
