Peyia is situated about 1.5 km approx from the Haven villa.  For the more energetic easy walking distance, however if you wish to be more like the locals then the only way to get around is by car.  There are plenty of parking places in Peyia and again if you cannot find one do as the locals do and abandon your car anywhere!!! The main car park is situated on the left hand side of the road (going up the hill with Coral bay behind you) just after the chemist, it is well sign posted.

Facilities in Peyia are mainly situated on the main road leading into Peyia village. You will find a Chemist, bakery, which serves delicious hot bread first thing in the morning. Butchers, who speaks some English but if you have trouble with the Greek language animal noises will do!!!!

There are plenty of taverns to choose from serving a variety of local dishes, my favourite is "Cousins Tavern" which is situated above "Kyrenia Tavern" (at "Cousins" they serve an excellent Meze. Other restaurants include "Peyia Tavern", and the "Chef Tavern". My advise to you is to try all the local restaurants during your holiday!!!

There are three banks in Peyia. All exchange money either British travellers cheques or Cypriot travellers cheques and cash. If you are changing travellers cheques don't forget your passports. Banks are open from 08.00 - 12.30 Monday to Friday, Please be warned the banks are closed on Saturday and Sunday and afternoons. There are no cash machines (hole in the wall facilities) in Peyia village, the nearest cash machine to you is at Coral Bay.

Behind the church you will find Peyia answer to Aladdin's cave, everything your heart desires from yoghurt, milk, bread, olives, frozen foods, fresh fruit and veg, kitchen sinks, microwaves ovens, cuddly toys, fondue sets etc, well go and see for yourselves.

Peyia village, 19 km northwest of Paphos. In Peyia, do not forget to quench your thirst at the picturesque fountains, which can be found in the beautiful stone-paved village square. 4½ km from the village, near the fishing refuge, are the ruins of two early Christian basilicas with some very interesting mosaic floors depicting animals. This site must have been an important establishment in Early Christian times. There are also rock-hewn tombs of the Roman period above the sea.
