These signs are routinely ignored. This is a shame, because they tend to put them where people have drowned in the past. The key point to remember from the sign is that if you are caught in a rip tide, the worst thing you can do is try to swim directly back to shore.

If you read that and think "what is a riptide?" it is a strong current that pulls you out from the shore. If you get caught in one, swim to the side until you are out of it, and then swim to shore. One of the reasons you see so many artificial reefs around these days, is to make the sea safer. Every year, people drown in the waters along the Paphos coast, so these warnings are not to be taken lightly.
