Located directly on the beach in Kato Paphos, the hotel is just a pleasant, flat coastal walk away from the picturesque harbour and various archaeological sites as well as local shops, restaurants and bars. For those wishing to explore further afield, you will find charming villages nestled in the mountains around Paphos with centuries-old monasteries, ancient ruins from Cyprus’s historic past and numerous prestigious blue flag beaches which can be found around the island.
A complimentary bowling programme is also included for those who wish to play bowls. The Athena Royal Beach Hotel shares impressive bowling facilities with its sister property offering 18 full size rinks and 12 indoor short mat rinks making it one of the largest in Europe outside of the United Kingdom and a favourite for both individual bowlers and groups. Hosted by the hotel's resident coordinator, there are five bowling sessions are included in this holiday which can be played with other members of the group or individually.
