Holiday Villas in the Resort of Chloraka

Chloraka has a small man-made beach which is popular with both visitors and locals, where the sea is marvellously clear, blue and inviting. The beach is protected by a breakwater that makes it a great swimming spot. For a major wow factor you can watch a gorgeous sunset over the sea while strolling along the scenic coastal path, if you can tear yourself away from the pool, your villa at Chloraka is an excellent base for exploring. You are right on a bus route – large, comfortable, air-conditioned buses run every 15 minutes from Coral Bay to Paphos harbour and town. You will soon understand why Paphos has been designated a World Heritage Site, as the whole area is so steeped in antiquity that you can hardly move for ancient ruins, tombs, mosaics, temples and churches, museums and basilicas! You don’t need to know much about history or architecture to appreciate the very special atmosphere here. When you return to Chloraka to relax in the evening, you have a good choice of restaurants, with staff who will make a huge fuss of any children in your party! (Your kids may forsake McDonalds’ forever - beware!)

Chloraka

Here are three key facts about Chloraka. If you venture down south of the village you will come to a beautiful little vaulted chapel decorated with 16th century paintings. It is booked up years ahead for weddings, and dedicated to St George. Down on the beach there is a special shelter where the EOKA boat is on display. This boat played a key part in the struggle for liberation in the late fifties, importing ammunition. Finally, the town has its own rather successful football team called Akritas Chlorakas – it might be useful to know when you are drinking in a bar with the locals.

If you decide to hire a car, you can explore the forests, villages, nature trails, waterfalls and impressive views of the Troodos Mountains. The countryside is rich in vineyards, atmospheric monasteries, myths and legends, not to mention nine UNESCO-listed churches and nearly 800 different plant species. If you think of Cyprus as sun, sea, sand and Keo beer, the mountains will give you a quite different view of the island. The vineyards, cool shady pine forests and orchards make a blissful contrast with all the heat and bustle of the coast. Explore one of the nature trails and drink in the peace. Listen, and all you will hear is birdsong and the burble of a mountain stream. You might see a woolly sheep or two – they roam wild here in the mountains.
