The luxurious 4-star Athena Royal Beach Hotel is firm favourite with First for Bridge guests. Ideally located in beautiful gardens overlooking the ocean, a flat 30-minute coastal walk takes you right into Paphos harbour. As well as immersing yourself in our daily bridge sessions, we include five bowls sessions, bridge seminars and twice weekly dancing lessons. Guests can also enjoy the excellent spa and wellness facilities the hotel has to offer, including indoor and outdoor pools, steam and sauna.
If you can tear yourself away from all the activities on offer at the hotel, this delightful island has many places to explore. Head up the Troodos Mountains for breathtaking scenery, culture and an insight to the island’s heritage. View Aphrodite’s Rock or take a step back in time with a visit to the walled and divided capital of Nicosia. Paphos itself has much to offer as a cultural UNESCO World Heritage Site, hosting the most amazing collection of Roman mosaics and the Tombs of the Kings.
