Tumbles down a hillside overlooking the sea . its identity has shifted considerably since it became a dormitory community for vast numbers of expats buying purpose-built villas or renovating old house. The villagers themselves had already become wealthy from selling off land closer to the shore early in the Pafian tourist boom, reflected in not always sympathetic “updating” of Peyia dwellings.
Most accommodation around Peyia is between the village and Coral Bay, in expensive, purpose-built villas with pools. For longer-term (by the nonth) lodging in the village, try the local Agridiana company tel.99696956. a few decidedly carnivorous tavernas are grouped around the cistern-fountain square; Peyia is one of the most consistent and popular, the cheap-and-cheerful option where meals run about euro12 whether meze or a la carte. The jail Pub, just downhill from these, was the regional British police station, magistrate’s court and prison from 1916 to 1953 prison decor abounds, along with billiards, darts and a steady expat clientele. Peyia rates its own ALEPA bus connection on line 7.
