Paphos District

Beautiful Beaches

The Paphos coastline features a diverse range of coastal environments, from the serviced sandy shores of Coral Bay and Laourou Beach to the wild, protected landscape of Lara Beach, a known nesting site for green and loggerhead turtles. Visitors can explore the pebbled expanse of Faros Beach near the archaeological park or take a boat to the crystal-clear waters of the Blue Lagoon in the Akamas Peninsula. These sites offer varied swimming conditions, including shallow bays for families and secluded coves accessible only by off-road vehicles.
