Just north of Paphos, where the coast road runs past low cliffs and small coves, Chlorakas looks out across the sea towards the sunset. It has the relaxed feel of a seaside village, with the shops, restaurants and harbour of Paphos only a few minutes away.

Chlorakas, also written Chloraka, is a village in the Paphos District, about three kilometres north of the town. Over the years it has grown from a small farming and fishing community into a popular residential area, while keeping a village centre with churches, tavernas and local shops. It is also home to Akritas Chlorakas, the local football club.

Getting around is easy. The coast road links Chlorakas directly with the Kato Paphos harbour area and the town centre, and the A6 motorway on the edge of Paphos leads east towards Limassol. Paphos International Airport is a short drive away, which makes the village practical for owners who fly in and out often.

Life here is shaped by the sea. The coastline has small beaches and rocky stretches for swimming, and the seafront hotels, cafés and restaurants come alive in summer. Paphos, with its harbour, UNESCO-listed archaeological sites and old town, is close enough for regular visits, while the countryside and villages north of Paphos invite weekend drives. Because the coast here faces west, many seafront homes look out over the water as the sun goes down. Life in the village continues year round, so it never feels empty once the summer season ends, and residents enjoy a settled community of Cypriot families and international buyers alike.

Everyday amenities are close at hand. The village has supermarkets, bakeries, pharmacies and local services, and Paphos provides hospitals, schools, including private and international options, and larger shopping centres within a short drive.

The property market is varied. Near the coast there are apartments and townhouses in holiday complexes, many with communal pools, while further up the slopes detached villas sit on larger plots, some with views across the sea. Older village homes can be found in the centre, and new developments have been added steadily over the years.

Chlorakas suits buyers looking for a holiday home by the sea, retirees seeking a sunny and relaxed base near Paphos, families who want a village setting with the town close by, and investors interested in the holiday rental market.
