Paphos beaches - tamed or wild

  • 16 years ago
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. In winter some beaches get sea weed deposit, but there are removed before the swimming season begins. I swam both in the south and in the west. The water is warm in summer and I had a nice time. If one follows the lifeguards instructions, you should be able to enjoy a splendid summer holiday at one of Paphos beaches.
