Cyprus: The beaches in Paphos area

For those who still do not know, I have been in Cyprus for 12 days , staying in Paphos . The municipal beach of Paphos, is not sandy but totally floored and, for this reason, I have avoided it (It's not the kind of beach I prefer). So, in these 12 days, I decided to go to other 4 beaches and , in this post, I'll talk about 3 of these . First of all there is to say all that can be reached with buses that depart from the station of " harbor " or that called ”Karavella". For two of these beaches (for example coral bay and Petra tou Romiou ) you need only one bus, for others (like the beach of the Baths of Aphrodite ) you have to change bus . I begin with Coral Bay. To get there , just take the 615 bus leaving the station of " harbor " . I always get down to the last stop (if you want there is another beach at the stop before). You find just off to your left, the restaurant (it doesn't accept credit cards) and on the right, a little further, the stairs to go down the beach. The sunbed & umbrella cost 2.5 euro each. If you have your umbrella (and bed / chair) put you where you can find place (and you will not pay, of course). It is a sandy beach, blue of the water is very beautiful and the sea is hot. When you find a lot of people in the water, the water looks " dirty " even if it is not: it's due to the fact that it is a sandy beach. Petra tou Romiou is ,instead, a "stone beach". You can get there directly by bus 631, which departs from the harbor station in Paphos. There is only a kiosk also quite expensive. If you do not have your "beach gear", It's better if you arrive early: there are not sunbeds and umbrella to pay for and you have to seat where is the shadow of the rocks (if it's free of people). The water is quite cold , as the stony bottom , do not you pull out of the sand when people swim and the colors remain much better ( and they are spectacular ) . The last beach I'm going to talk about is the one at the Baths of Aphrodite. To get here you have to take two buses : the first one is the 645 which takes you from Paphos (Karavella station) to Polis Chrysochous and 622 from Polis Chrysochous to the Baths of Aphrodite. This beach is, among those I've seen, the one I prefer . If you do not have your own equipment you have to arrive early enough: the beach is very small and sun beds and umbrellas end immediately (even with the space ) . The water is very beautiful, especially the colors of the water: from the bar/restaurant you can really admire them . I leave some photos for you to see what I can't express with words.
