Peyia Village, Paphos, Cyprus

For our many luxurious apartments and villas, most with private pools, in the Peyia area, please visit our Property page.

A very large, almost overwhelmingly friendly village, now designated a town with its own municipality, Peyia is spread across the hills about 3.5kms from Coral Bay and 15kms from Paphos. There are many coffee shops, grocers and heartily welcoming tavernas which provide simple but excellent food at very reasonable prices (if you ask in advance they will prepare special dishes or buy fresh fish for you). A picturesque drive north along winding roads through the Peyia forest and pretty villages brings you to the Akamas peninsula and Latchi’s beaches, giving the possibility of countless memorable days out.

There are three banks in Peyia. All exchange money either British travellers cheques or Cypriot travellers cheques and cash. If you are changing travellers cheques don't forget your passports.

Banks are open from 08.00 - 12.30 Monday to Friday, and closed on Saturday and Sunday and afternoons. There are no cash machines in Peyia village, the nearest cash machine is at Coral Bay.

Situated in the foothills of Paphos, Peyia is a short drive from the nicest beach in the area at Coral Bay. Peyia is a very typical Cypriot village. An ancient church overlooks its centre, while the narrow streets and alleyways are full of old and interesting houses each with their own style of gardening! The village is still largely unspoilt with lively tavernas where you can eat at a fraction of the cost you would find in the main tourist areas. You can also buy all your provisions including fresh meat and bread in the village stores. Well worth a visit.

Peyia is well situated for exploring the western side of Cyprus. It offers easy access to the Akamas peninsula, with its spectacular landscapes, deserted sandy beaches and conservation projects. Be warned though, there are limited facilities in this area and even if you are going on a guided tour or jeep safari please take sun creams and water with you.

To the north of Peyia, many roads meander through the hills and then down to Polis and Latchi. These take you through acres of vineyards in steep valleys with some outstanding views to the Troodos Mountains and on to the coast and Aphrodite's Baths.
