One of the most internationally famous beaches in Cyprus and the most popular in the Paphos district, Coral Bay in Pegeia, confirms this summer that it is the undisputed king in popularity and preferences of bathers. Being ready in terms of infrastructure and services very early thanks to the timely interventions of the municipal authority, the beach of Pegeia records since the beginning of summer numbers unapproachable for other areas of the province.
From very early on, the municipal authority carried out all the cleaning works of the huge sandy beach and the surrounding area, while it also carried out all the improvement works that allow the Coral Bay to operate smoothly during the tourist season, thus succeeding in making it for yet another year the most popular beach for bathers in the province.
At the same time, the beach continues to provide visitors and bathers with all the necessary services that a beach of such reputation and traffic should have.
In the same area, meanwhile, the construction of an enrichment project continues that will contribute to the further development of both Coral Bay and the wider area of the Municipality of Pegeia: The largest coastal pedestrian street in Cyprus will soon be a fact, since the procedures for its creation are progressing and with its first section having already been inaugurated by the President of the Republic Nikos Christodoulides.
The Mayor of Akamas, Marinos Lambrou, said in particular that the coastal pedestrian street of Pegeia is an urban project costing 2.5 million euros. The first phase of the project, he said, is two kilometers long and is part of the wider coastal pedestrian street that starts from the Marina area of Potima and will end at the port of Agios Georgios in Peyia, covering a total distance of 14 kilometers.
In the first phase, he noted, the construction of an amphitheater, an outdoor gym, a basketball court, a kiosk and a playground is planned. This is a very important project that will upgrade the Municipality of Pegeia. The completion of the project is estimated in 18 months, he concluded.
