Paphos
Paphos spreads along the west coast, from the harbour and archaeological park up to the resort strip towards Coral Bay. It suits travellers who want sightseeing, sunsets and a slower pace, with a short airport transfer.

Find the Right Hotel in Cyprus
Stay Cyprus Guide helps travellers compare where to stay across Cyprus based on destination, trip type and travel style. Start with the area that fits your holiday, then narrow down to the kind of property that suits your travel party.
By destination
Hotel guides for every Cyprus holiday area
Each guide explains the neighbourhoods within the destination, who they suit and what to check before booking.
Protaras
Protaras is a compact beach resort on the east coast, built around a string of shallow sandy bays. It is the easiest choice for a straightforward beach holiday without nightlife.
Ayia Napa
Ayia Napa combines some of the island's best-known sandy beaches with its busiest nightlife. Where you stay decides which of those two holidays you get.
Limassol
Limassol is a working coastal city with a long seafront, the island's strongest restaurant scene and a mix of city hotels and beach resorts.
Larnaca
Larnaca is compact, relaxed and minutes from the main airport, which makes it the practical choice for short stays and first or last nights.
Nicosia
Nicosia is the inland capital: a walled old town, museums and a strong local food scene, with business and boutique hotels rather than resorts.
