FROM THE HOTEL
The Azia Resort & Spa is located in Chlorakas, a picturesque village in Paphos, on the Tombs of the Kings road leading to Coral Bay, just 6km from the centre of Paphos. Chlorakas, from a Greek word meaning “green,” is a coastal village full of history. As farmers here till their land, they often unearth stone implements, axe-heads and pottery which suggest this was the site of a Neolithic settlement. The remains of Rigaina’s aqueduct, between here and the sea, are probably those of a long aqueduct that once brought water from the Mavrokolympos River to Paphos.
A number of beautiful and interesting places can be reached on foot from the hotel. Directly opposite the hotel is a Golf Practice range. Paphos Golf Driving Range & Academy is like none other in Cyprus with its unique, professionally designed landscape intended to make each and every golfer feel like they are on a real golf course.
