One of the most internationally famous beaches in Cyprus and the most popular in the district of Paphos, Coral Bay in Peyia, confirms this summer that it is the ... undisputed king in the popularity and preferences of bathers. Being ready in terms of infrastructure and services from a very early date, thanks to the timely interventions of the municipal authority, the beach of Peyia recorded this summer, numbers that remind us of pre-pandemic times.
The crews of the municipal authority made sure to complete all the cleaning works of the huge sandy beach and the surrounding area from a very early date, while they also carried out all those improvement works that allow Coral Bay to operate smoothly since the beginning of the tourist season, thus succeeding in making it for another year the most popular beach for bathers in the province.
In the same area, in the meantime, an enrichment project began some time ago that will contribute to the further development of Coral Bay and the wider area of the Municipality of Peyia. The largest coastal pedestrian street in Cyprus will soon be a fact, since the procedures for its creation are progressing, with the announcement of the tender for the project, according to the Mayor of Peyia.
Marinos Lambrou said in particular that the coastal pedestrian street of Peyia will be an urban project costing €2.5 million. The first phase of the project, he said, will be two kilometres long and will be part of the wider coastal pedestrian street that starts from the Marina area in Potima and will end at the port of Agios Georgios in Peyia, covering a total distance of 14 kilometres along the coast.
"In the first phase," he noted, "the construction of an amphitheatre, an outdoor gym, a basketball court, a kiosk and a playground are planned. This is a very important project that will upgrade the Municipality of Peyia. The completion of the project is estimated at 18 months."
