Mavralis Picnic Site
Mavralis Picnic Site is a well-equipped area between Limni Pier and Argaka, on the North Coast of the Paphos District of Cyprus. Up until recently, the beach area had been blighted by residue from Limni Mine. This has recently been cleared away, so we went down to investigate.
Turn Here
As you drive from Polis to Argaka, you will go past Limni Pier. Just beyond that, you will come to this sign for Mavralis Picnic Site.
Off Peak Visit
The picnic site is fairly long and narrow. So don't park at the first available opportunity. Drive down a bit further, as there is plenty of space. Of course, should you visit on a Cypriot Bank Holiday then you may find this place is packed to the rafters.
Municipal BBQs
As well as a decent number of picnic benches, the site also comes equipped with a decent array of amenities. These BBQ pits are there for anybody to use. I have often wondered what happens when it is busy though. Do people jostle for position or do the late comers move somewhere else?
Running Water
THere is also a decent water supply here, which is handy for washing your used plates etc.
To The Beach
There is also a beach here, so let's go and take a look at that. If this is your first time visiting, you would probably stand here thinking that it was a nice enough empty beach. However, before the place was cleaned up, this beach didn't look much like this, as you shall see.

Polis Beaches Part 1
We've already had a look at how the beaches and restaurants of Paphos and Ayia Napa are coping with the new norms of social distancing. It is time to turn our attention to the Polis coast, and take a look at what the situation is there. In Part 1 we go from Aphrodite's Baths to Polis.
Polis Beaches Part 2
In this report we originally planned on showing you the beaches from Kato Pyrgos to Polis. However, there were so many that we have had to split it in two, so join us as we travel from Kato Pyrgos to the outskirts of Pomos. In our next blog we will continue the journey to Polis.
Polis Beaches Part 3
In the final part of our look at the beaches along the north coast of Paphos, we travel from Pomos to Polis, finishing up with a slap-up meal at our favourite kebab joint. If you want quieter beaches in beautiful surroundings, then this area will not disappoint. We visited these beaches more times than was strictly necessary to make this blog, which shows that we have saved what we consider to be some of the best Paphos beaches to last.Related Pages

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
