There are more than 10 beaches in the vicinity of Paphos. The most famous is probably Coral beach in the west, which is calmer then the other beaches on the west coast. A landmark non organized beach in the area is at Aphrodite’s Rock (between Paphos and Limassol), the birthplace of the greek goddess of beauty. In general, one can divide the Paphos beaches into two groups. The ones in the south, most of which have wavebreakers and as a result they are also a lot calmer, and the ones in the west, some of which are quite rough. On the other hand, these have a wild natural beauty. If you follow the lifeguards instructions, you should be able to enjoy a splendid summer holiday at one of Paphos beaches.
