Holidays in Peyia – A taste of traditional village life
Peyia is a couple of miles inland from the splendid beach at Coral Bay, 20 minutes north of the popular resort of Paphos and less than an hour from Paphos airport in western Cyprus. Peyia holidays are a favourite with discerning British visitors looking for a taste of traditional Cypriot village life. Holidays in Peyia feature a charming hill village with an old church, narrow lanes and traditional whitewashed houses. There are wonderful views of one of the finest stretches of coastline in Cyprus and the peaks of the unspoilt Akamas Peninsula. Peyia holidays will appeal to those looking for a quiet sleepy retreat from the coastal resorts of western Cyprus while remaining very close to superb sandy beaches and the well-known resort of Paphos.
Peyia holidays – Five minutes from the gorgeous beach at Coral Bay
A special feature of holidays in Peyia is the wonderful beach at Coral Bay, considered the finest in western Cyprus and just a couple of miles below the village. Peyia holidays are sure to feature the beach at Coral Bay and also the popular resort of Paphos with its excellent beaches, attractive harbour, famous ancient remains and busy nightlife. Peyia holidays offer a completely different experience from Coral Bay and busier Paphos while remaining close enough to enjoy both resorts. The sleepy traditional hillside setting of Peyia is no reason why Peyia holidays shouldn’t include activities like paragliding and watersports on the coast that include exceptional diving around Coral Bay.
