Paphos:
Located in the southwest of Cyprus, Paphos is a Mediterranean seaside city where rainfall rarely occurs.

Paphos holidays offer awe-inspiring landscapes as well as culture and family amusements. An abundance of beautiful beaches, including the magnificent Aphrodite’s Rock will leave seaside lovers spoilt for choice.

For luxury at its best, it doesn't get much better than Paphos. Consider Coral Bay found on the island’s stunning west coast, a beautiful resort that has a whole lot of love to give. From quaint tavernas and cocktail bars-aplenty to simply mesmerising beaches and surrounded by limestone cliffs, there’s plenty that Coral Bay and its hotels, such as Ascos Coral Beach Hotel and Crown Resorts Horizon, can offer you. Family-friendly apartments with sea views are the perfect option for couples and families looking for something a little more laid back, so why not consider the Corallia Beach Hotel Apartments?
