The Wonders of Coral Bay in Cyprus

Coral Bay is a beautiful place to visit. The sea is clean and a clear blue.

When I was there on holiday in June 2005, I stayed in my apartment, which is situated only down the road from Coral Bay in a small place called Peiya. Every day we drove into Coral Bay which took only five minutes. There are lots of water sports available on the beach, such as para-gliding, scuba diving, glass boat trips (which is a must), jet skis, banana rides, water skis, speed boat hiring, pedaloes, windsurfing and canoes.

There are also plenty of places to eat and drink just up the road from the beach. In the evening we went to a taverna and bar where there was a pool table for the kids and the owners let them play on this free of charge. The people there were very polite and generous. Coral Bay, also, have a few shops which do come in handy too, especially the supermarket. It is not a place for night life. It mostly caters for families and couples and is generally a quiet place to stay. Generally, I like a quiet and relaxing holiday and that is what this holiday was about.

There is transport in the form of a bus and this runs until eleven o'clock at night in high season. Car hire is another way to get around, especially if you want to head out further afield, such as visiting Troodos mountains, Nicosia (the capital), Polis and Latchi Beach. From Coral Bay you can visit the centre of Paphos. There you can visit shops, tavernas and bars. There is a harbour at Paphos where you can take a stroll in the day or night. We sometimes come here and have an ice cream whilst taking a stroll. There is a water park in Paphos too and this is an excellent day out. Bus routes go to Paphos everyday for just eighty sense.

Of course, the best part is the weather and in June it is still hot, but pleasant in the evening. Cyprus rarely has rain in the summer months. I have experienced a wet rainy day there, but this was in October when the rainy season starts. It usually only rains during the winter months, which is January and February. We went in March once and the weather was like English summer, but it never rained.
