It has a large population of British ex-pats and a growing number of holiday homes and apartments.

White River Beach

Reviewed By 163mihaelaz - Cluj-Napoca, Romania

We found this beach by accident. But what a great finding! There were 2 tourists on the beach. The quiet and the waves touching the stones is incredible. Very special beach for us. Maybe the fact that it is not so popular makes it so special.

Corallia Beach

Reviewed By BeejayBerkshire

Corallia is next door to the main beach in Coral Bay and consequently, a bit quieter. It has become the place we drive to late afternoon for a swim and snorkel, followed by a sundowner cocktail watching the stunning colours as the sun go down. It’s only a short drive from where we stay in Coral Bay, but others come from further afield by car or by bus. This year the beach was even quieter than usual, due to the Corona virus hitting the Cyprus tourist trade hard. The beach bar, where we watch the sun goes down, closed almost immediately after the sun disappeared due to lack of customers. No matter, we got our swim, our drink and a fantastic view of the sunset.

Edro III Shipwreck

The Sierra Leone-flagged EDRO III ran aground off Pegeia on 8 September 2011 in heavy seas, during a voyage to Rhodes, from Limassol, Cyprus with a cargo of plasterboard. At the time of the accident, the ship had nine crew members - seven Albanians and two Egyptians. The crew were rescued and airlifted to the safety of Paphos by a local British Military helicopter. The EDRO III weighs 2,345 Ton

Reviewed By Roberts69 - Northampton, United Kingdom

We visited the site of the Edro III shipwreck twice during our 10 days in Paphos. One in the evening at sunset when we ate dinner at the excellent Oniro By The Sea restaurant and then a second time during the day when we did a 3 hour guided Buggy Safari. As some background for those interested, the Edro III was a Sierra Leone-flagged 80m long merchant ship that ran aground off of Pegeia on the 8th December 2011 in heavy seas. It was on route to Rhodes, from Limassol, with a cargo of plasterboard. The nine crew were safely rescued by a British Military helicopter and the wreck was made safe by the removal of all pollutants and making the hull watertight, which was finished in October 2013. The ship is now very much a popular tourist attraction and as such brings a lot of business to the owner of the Oniro Restaurant and bar. The Edro III is a great place to watch the sunset and it is very photogenic, as you will see from my pictures. I high recommend a visit, and dinner at Oniro By The Sea is also well worth it (see my separate review).
