Tips from locals
Wild & beautiful, accessed offroad only so few people get there. Watch the turtles bury their eggs and baby turtles emerge at the right time of year.
Despite the wealth of historical sites in and around Paphos, the resort's main tourist attractions remains its superb beaches. On the east side of town is lovely Alykes Beach with plenty of good facilities, making it a top choice for holidaymakers with children in tow. Another very popular choice is Coral Bay, eight kilometers north of central Paphos. Its curving strip of soft, golden sand with plenty of sun loungers for rent, water sports operators offering paddleboard and kayak rental, and a couple of restaurants for lunch make it a favorite for easygoing days of sun, sand, and swimming. All the full-facility beaches in the area have lifeguards on patrol throughout the summer months, and most have designated swimming areas. For somewhere a bit less crowded, head to Kissonerga Bay (eight kilometers north of town), which has a gorgeously inviting strip of sand but rarely sees more than a handful of visitors thanks to its few facilities. For a wild beach, Lara Beach (26 kilometers north), on the Akamas Heights, is the number one beach spot in the area, and is rated as one of the best on the entire island. Here, you'll find a cove of supreme sandy bliss that is also an important turtle nesting site during summer.
