Akamas Peninsula
The Akamas peninsula, next to Azzurro Luxury Homes, covers about 230 square km and is located on the western tip of Cyprus. It is an area of great natural beauty unaffected by development. The uniqueness of the area for Cyprus, and for the whole of the Mediterranean, is centered on its precious ecology. The diversity of flora and fauna living in this relatively small area is truly impressive. Rare endemic plants grow there and foxes, snakes and other reptiles as well as many types of migratory birds live in Akamas or use it in their movements. In addition to its species habitats, the area is also important because of its diverse community habitats. Some of these are: Pine and juniper forests, Maquis forest, Gorges, Sand dunes, Cliffs etc.
Agios Georgios Pegeia Agios Georgios at Pegeia, 1.4km from Azzurro Luxury Homes, is a famous place of pilgrimage in the Pafos (Paphos) region in the west of Cyprus. Three early Christian Basilicas and a bath, all 6th century, were excavated in the early 1950s. Later excavations revealed an extensive unwalled settlement that occupied the neck and the south slope of the cape in the Roman and early Christian periods. There is a small chapel founded in the late 13th early 14th century also named after Agios Georgios. The stone - built church of Agios Georgios was built around 100 years ago. Agios Georgios is still today a traditional working fishing village where you can sample the fresh catch in the local fish Traverna.
Coral Bay in Cyprus The popular resort of Coral Bay 4 km from Azzurro Luxury Homes, provides all the facilities for a perfect holiday in the sun. The resort centre is lined with shops, bars and restaurants offering a choice of both Cypriot and international cuisine. Down on the beach, the shallow waters are wonderful for bathing and water sports. The ancient capital of Paphos is a short drive or bus ride away with an array of historical sites, as well as livelier nightlife. Close by, the charming village of Peyia offers the perfect place to sample Greek Cypriot meze in a traditional taverna. Lara Beach – some 1.4km fromAzzurro Luxury Homes – is possibly the most naturally beautiful bay in Cyprus. This long, shingly stretch of coast is totally free of development, so the only sounds you’ll hear are the crashing of waves and the calling of wild birds. This makes Lara Beach a breath of clean, cool, fresh air. Only Monk Seals and Turtles populate this wilderness which has been preserved specifically for their protection – every year the beach is entirely closed off for the breeding season, so make sure you time it right! If you need relief from the croads, this is best place to find it. Lara Beach offers crystal waters and spectacular, unspoilt scenery.

Peyia Peyia The village of Peyia, 2.5km from Azzurro Luxury Homes, lies on the south western tip of the lovely island of Cyprus and is probably one of the most colourful and interesting villages on the island! Whilst the original Peyia village was a small, stone built community of farmers whose crops were mainly bananas and oranges, Peyia has grown in strength to be the Municipality of Peyia, governing the area from Akamas Peninsular in the west to the edges of Paphos on the east side. Paphos is only 15 mins by road from Peyia village and Coral Bay resort is only a few minutes down the road. Today, Peyia retains its charms but has grown up to be a very vibrant and welcoming large village, whose population is a mix of many nationalities; the most of whom are Cypriot or UK ex pats! Peyia is developing into a thriving and enjoyable area in which to holiday or simply visit. Many tourists choose to stay in Peyia to enjoy a taste of traditional Cypriot welcome mixed with the many, more modern western ways they've become accustomed to. From joining the older Cypriot men enjoying backgammon and coffee in the Kafenes to visiting a very trendy wine bar, the village, Peyia has something for everyone. Set on a hillside, the views are magnificent, the people warm and friendly – and the facilities first class! With beaches only 2 kms away, its no wonder that Peyia is fast becoming first choice for holidaymakers looking for quality, culture and value for money.
