Chloraka

A tourist and residential hillside village just a few minutes' walk from the coast and 3km northwest from Paphos Harbour. The small village centre has all the usual amenities and is bordered by luxury villas and apartments to the south and east and banana plantations to the west.

Coral Bay and Coralia

The lively resort of Coral Bay has all the amenities that you would expect from a tourist area and is well connected to Paphos by frequent bus routes. This is a popular residential and holiday location and properties with views overlooking the bay are much sought after.

The bay itself is a 2km stretch of sand that gently slopes into the sea. Near the shoreline you can sometimes see deposits of what looks like salmon-pink sand but is actually fine coral - hence the name. All the usual watersports are available from April to October and the sea remains warm enough for swimming up to early December.

Located 1km further along the main road from Coral Bay is Coralia. Quieter than Coral Bay, this small beach resort has just a few shops and restaurants and is a very peaceful location. The long, narrow stretch of its sandy beach curves round two bays and is the ideal place for families with small children.

Emba

A large residential village 2km north of the coast and a short distance northwest of upper Paphos, Emba is on flat land surrounded by agricultural fields. In addition to shops, cafes and tavernas, Emba has its own small theatre and a lovely 12th Century domed church with impressive frescoes and iconostacy.
