Agios Georgios Pegeias is a fishing-harbour village on Cyprus's west coast, near the Akamas peninsula. Homes filed under this name are spread over a very wide area, so check every map pin before booking.
The village itself sits near Cape Drepanon, about 18 km north-west of Paphos, with a small fishing harbour sheltered by the cape, a fish tavern with a terrace above it and a chapel of St George, built in the late thirteenth or early fourteenth century and still a Greek Orthodox pilgrimage site. Small beaches such as Prestos lie along the coast beside it, framed by sandstone, and the rock spires of the Aras Fingers follow. Beyond the village the Akamas track leads to Lara Bay, about 12 km north. Nightlife is in Coral Bay or Paphos, not here. The homes listed under this name are not at the village: they are scattered across a very wide area, so treat the village as a label rather than a location. Nearly all homes have a private pool and garden.
Gorge reached from the Akamas track about 3 km beyond the village, with a hiking route through it.
Beach on the Akamas peninsula about 12 km north, with summer beach bars and a turtle station.
District capital about 18 km from the village, reached along the coastal E701 road.
Where the area's nightlife is found, along with Paphos, and where buses from Paphos change for the village.
For the village itself, Paphos airport is about 45 minutes by road. By bus it takes two changes, at Paphos and then at Coral Bay. The homes listed here are spread far from the village, so check the drive from your airport to your own home, and plan on a hire car.
Turtles nest on the Akamas beaches in summer, with nests protected by metal mesh, and hatchlings emerge only in late August or early September, so sightings are unlikely at other times. Lara's two small beach bars open in summer. Check your hire agreement before driving the Akamas track, and check restaurant opening times outside summer.
Mostly not. The listings filed under this name are spread over a very wide area, so many are nowhere near the village. Check the map pin on every home before you book.
Possibly, but not reliably. Nests on the Akamas beaches are protected with metal mesh in summer and hatchlings appear only in late August or early September, so most visitors will not see one.
There are small beaches along the coast beside the village, including Kafizis, Ina and Prestos, and more along the Akamas track, among them White River, the long sandy Toxeftra and Lara.
Yes, it starts beyond the village, but it is a track, not a road. Avakas Gorge is about 3 km along and Lara Bay about 12 km, so drive with care, check your hire agreement or use a four-wheel drive.
