"The beach is rocky there. The sun bed is 2.5 euros, but they took us 10 euros for 2 sunbeds, umbrella and cushions and a locked drawer."

"If you're looking for the best beach inside Paphos you should search no longer. Sunbeds and umbrellas cost 2.5€ each, which is pretty reasonable. They offer food and drink service to your sunbed, and also you'll get a free locker to store your valuables. They also provide free wifi.
The beach itself is a bit rocky but much better and cleaner than Lighthouse Beach or the Mun..."
