What to do and see in Peyia, Paphos District: The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups
Pegeia (also spelt Peyia; Greek: Πέγεια) is a town in the Paphos District of Cyprus. Pegeia is situated mainly on the steep slopes of the coastal hills inland from Coral Bay, at the southern end of the Akamas Peninsula, and it lies 14 km north of Paphos. It has a large population of British ex-pats and a growing number of holiday homes and apartments. In the town centre can be found a town hall, church, police station and several small shops, restaurants and banks. Due to its hillside location many parts of the town offer views over Coral Bay and Paphos.

The Sierra Leone-flagged EDRO III ran aground off Pegeia on 8 September 2011 in heavy seas, during a voyage to Rhodes, from Limassol, Cyprus with a cargo of plasterboard. At the time of the accident, the ship had nine crew members - seven Albanians and two Egyptians. The crew were rescued and airlifted to the safety of Paphos by a local British Military helicopter. The EDRO III weighs 2,345 Ton

We visited the site of the Edro III shipwreck twice during our 10 days in Paphos. One in the evening at sunset when we ate dinner at the excellent Oniro By The Sea restaurant and then a second time during the day when we did a 3 hour guided Buggy Safari. As some background for those interested, the Edro III was a Sierra Leone-flagged 80m long merchant ship that ran aground off of Pegeia on the 8th December 2011 in heavy seas. It was on route to Rhodes, from Limassol, with a cargo of plasterboard. The nine crew were safely rescued by a British Military helicopter and the wreck was made safe by the removal of all pollutants and making the hull watertight, which was finished in October 2013. The ship is now very much a popular tourist attraction and as such brings a lot of business to the owner of the Oniro Restaurant and bar. The Edro III is a great place to watch the sunset and it is very photogenic, as you will see from my pictures. I high recommend a visit, and dinner at Oniro By The Sea is also well worth it (see my separate review).

Probably the best amusement park and mini golf in Cyprus!
Reviewed By Cghills - Horley, United Kingdom
We have been to coral bay many many times now and never ventured into this place. Why? I ask myself. We had a fab evening after a meal on the strip, playing crazy golf. Can’t remember exactly but I think it was €5 a person to play 18 holes. It was busy. But there seemed to be a massive group of about 30 young students visiting on the evening we chose. But they were well behaved and didn’t spoil our evening game. We didn’t go in the amusement part or the bar area as this was really busy. But all looked very good. Lots of places around the course to sit and chill too which was good when you were waiting for the next hole. We will definitely be back next time we are on holiday.
