Beaches and Resorts in the Paphos Region

The Paphos region is characterised by its diverse coastline, ranging from bustling sandy stretches to more rugged, picturesque areas. Many travellers head to the Paphos area for its well-maintained seafronts where you can spend your days swimming or enjoying watersports. Whether you are staying in the heart of Paphos or the quieter neighbourhood of Chloraka, the sea is almost always the focal point of your holiday. The coastal promenades are excellent for evening strolls, offering plenty of spots to grab a drink while watching the sunset.

When to Go and Getting There

Cyprus enjoys one of the warmest climates in the Mediterranean. For many from the UK, the spring and autumn months are the ideal times to visit, as the weather is warm enough for the beach but comfortable for exploring. During the summer, temperatures rise significantly, making it the perfect time for those who want to spend every waking hour by the pool or in the sea. Flights are frequent from UK airports, with a manageable flight time that makes Paphos an excellent choice for a week-long break or a longer summer holiday.

Food, Drink and Things to Do

Dining in Paphos is a highlight for many visitors. You can expect a fantastic selection of local Cypriot dishes, fresh seafood, and familiar favourites served in traditional tavernas and modern restaurants alike. Beyond the dining table, the region is rich with history. Spending a day wandering through the old town or exploring the archaeological sites near the coast provides a great balance to the relaxation of a beach holiday. If you are travelling with children, look for resorts with dedicated water parks, such as the Aqua Sol Holiday Village Water Park Resort, which is perfect for keeping the little ones entertained.
