Located on the coastal outskirts of Paphos, this family-friendly hotel overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, where you can take a dip in the cooling waters or watch the glowing sunset. The area is known for its secluded coves for swimming, pine forests and archaeological sites. The centre of Paphos is a short drive from the hotel, with historic attractions to discover, as well as bars, restaurants and shops.

There are three main pools at the hotel. Children can make the most of the water park during the day, with a variety of slides and a lazy river. If you want to stay active, you can join the aerobics or aqua aerobics sessions that are run regularly, or go for a cardio workout at the gym. For some leisurely time with friends, there's a football area, multi-sports court and beach volleyball court. To unwind, you can head to the spa to book in for a massage or use the sauna. You could have a game on the tennis court, where equipment can be hired. The hotel runs a kids' club during the day for children aged 4-11, with a variety of fun activities including arts, crafts and sports.

As well as a buffet restaurant serving local cuisine, made by expert chefs using ingredients sourced in the area, there's also international a la carte options. These feature Italian, Greek and Mexican dishes and in the summer months offer al-fresco dining. For an afternoon drink in the sun there's a choice of three bars: the Terrace, the Wooden Cosy and the Pool Snack, also offering light bites. You may prefer to have an evening drink in the indoor Lobby Bar.

Rooms at King Evelthon come with a furnished balcony air-conditioning/heating, satellite TV, Wi-Fi, hair dryer, digital safe box, mini bar and tea & coffee making facilities.

There are numerous historical sites to visit in Paphos, so ensure you book a stay long enough to allow you to visit the many sites, as well as leaving time to relax. You could spend hours exploring the Kato Pafos Archaeological Park, an important ancient Greek and Roman city which still isn't fully excavated. Here you will see mosaics, as well as the remains of temples and theatres. Christians shouldn't miss Saint Paul's Pillar, dating from 45AD, located where St. Paul attempted to convert Paphos from Paganism to Christianity. That may not have gone as he hoped at that time but today there are numerous historic Byzantine churches in the area. For children who aren't interested in history, there's a zoo and a waterpark. If you fancy playing a few rounds of golf during your break, you can head to Marios Golf Park, a 9-hole golf course that is 2.2km from the hotel.
