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.
