Uncover charming Peyia

This is a laid back little gem of a village, away from the bustling crowds but less than 5 km from one of Cyprus’s best beaches, Coral Bay, where long stretches of golden sand are stroked by the sun and the gentle waves lapping its shores.

Pretty whitewashed houses nestle on the mountainside above the glittering waters of the Mediterranean, looking across at the peaks of the untouched beauty of the Akamas Peninsular.

At night, the town comes awake when the local tavernas open their doors and delicious smells from hot ovens fill the evening air as people gather at the tables laid out along the street for a late supper and animated conversations with friends and neighbours.

From the mountain to the sea

While away a relaxing afternoon with a plateful of meze and a cold bottle of beer as the world goes on beside you. Later on, drive along to Coral Bay to lie on soft sand, reading a good book while the sun toasts your skin; cooling down with a swim before heading back to your enchanting little house on the hill.

Next day spend a day exploring more of this western side of Cyprus, taking in the spectacular landscapes of the Akamas Peninsular with its deserted beaches and conservation projects.

All you need

On the hillside at Ayios Yeoryios you can visit the 6th century basilica and light a candle to see if your love is going to be requited by holding it upside down, if the flame goes out – sadly, your love may not be returned.

Back in Peyia, you can get everything you need for supper and food next day on the main road into the village, where you’ll find coffee shops, grocers, chemist, bakery, butchers, tavernas and bars.
