Alexander The Great Beach Hotel sits directly on a Blue Flag beachfront in Paphos, with lawns that roll right down towards the sand and views across to the medieval castle and harbour.

It’s a great base to explore the wider Paphos region too – from Aphrodite’s Rock and ancient archaeological sites to countryside wine villages in the Troodos foothills.
