Avdimou Beach

Wide uncrowded sand-and-pebble bay between Limassol and Paphos with the rustic Melanda taverna.

A refreshing antidote to packed resort beaches. Avdimou offers a broad natural shoreline, gentle swimming, and zero high-rise buildings.

The western end attracts kitesurfers when the wind picks up, while the eastern corner sheltered by bluffs stays serene.

Tips before you go

  • Eat grilled octopus and village salad at beachfront Melanda Taverna.
  • Bring a beach umbrella for shade on the open sand.
  • Sunset views here are remarkably tranquil.

How to get there

Take the Avdimou exit off highway A6 and follow the paved country road 5 minutes to the coast.

Pleasant year-round; during mid-summer visit early morning or late afternoon to avoid the exposed cliff heat.
