Unforgettable Coral Bay

The beautiful beach of Coral Bay, with its soft sand and clear blue water, makes for a relaxing and pleasant day by the sea, and there are plenty of water sports to try out too.

A recommendation for anyone visiting Coral Bay is a trip to the famous Phideas Tavern. Bring a tea towel along with you with some sort of local design on it as the owner collects them from all around the world and will add yours to the many hundreds he already has. The food offered is various Cypriot dishes, from salads and cheese to grilled meats and sausages. It’s an experience you won’t forget in a hurry.

Allow a day to visit the Aphrodite Water Park one of the best attractions in Paphos. Fun for all the family - be prepared to get wet and have lots of fun!
