This once sleepy village is a favourite topic of conversation with estate agents and expatriates. And it's easy to see why. The whitewashed village clings to the rugged hills that act as a backdrop to Cyprus' most photogenic stretch of coastline. Below glitter the crystal waters of the Mediterranean, while to the north the silhouetted peak of Ayios Yeoyios marks the beginning of the untouched Akamas Peninsula.
Peyia proves a welcome antidote to the bustle of nearby Pafos and is a great place to while away a relaxing lunchtime with a plateful of meze and a cold bottle of Keo beer. If you prefer your afternoons to be a little more active you'll find a number of local companies offering every white-knuckled pursuit from go-karting to paragliding, otherwise it's a short hop to the beach.
Having slumbered through the day Peyia wakes up at night. Taverna tables groaning under the weight of fresh fish fill the central square, the evening air cools and the village comes alive with the sounds of animated holiday-makers and local residents. It is very easy to see why Peyia has become one of the most coveted places on the island to own a home.

Peyia village's proximity to the resort of Coral Bay (just five km south west) is an additional bonus. Coral Bay is home to the famous Coral Bay Beach, a variety of international cuisine restaurants, plenty of bars and a nightclub for those who wish to party the night away.
