Getting there

Getting to Coral Bay

Flights, transfers and car hire.

Which airport

Paphos (PFO) is the nearest airport, roughly 30 minutes away by car. Most of the journey follows the main road up the coast.

Larnaca (LCA) also serves Cyprus and sometimes has cheaper fares, but the drive takes about two hours each way. Allow for the longer transfer when comparing fares.

Do you need a car?

A car is not essential if you plan to stay around the villas. The beach is a 10-minute walk, and the Coral Bay strip with its restaurants, bars and supermarket is two minutes away. Taxis are available for occasional journeys.

The Akamas peninsula, Lara Bay, Avakas Gorge and the Paphos archaeological sites are not realistically reachable from the villas without a car. Traffic in Cyprus drives on the left.

Directions

Finding the villas

Each villa has its own page with a map link and its own arrival notes. Exact directions and arrival instructions are sent with your booking confirmation.
