Description
Peyia Village lies 19 kilometres northwest of Paphos, on the coastal hills inland from Coral Bay. The delightful hillside location means many parts of the town provide fantastic views over Coral Bay and Paphos. Take a stroll to the highest points and then in Peyia, don’t forget to quench your thirst at the picturesque Pegeia fountains, which can be found in the beautiful stone-paved village square. Four kilometres from the village, near the fishing refuge, are the ruins of two early Christian basilicas with some very interesting mosaic floors depicting animals, which indicate this site must have been an important establishment in early Christian times. There are also rock-hewn tombs of the Roman period above the sea.

The town centre has a town hall, church and several little shops, restaurants, bars, supermarkets, a bakery and even a beauty salon for a spot of pampering.
