The Property — Sunny Hill
Sunny Hill is a modest, family-run 3-star set back from Chloraka’s coast road, with a small pool, compact bar and rooms that favour function over flourish. Its USP is location — a 10-minute walk from the municipal beach and a short bus ride into Paphos old town — and the genuinely personal service from owners who’ve been running it for over 20 years. Standing in the lobby it smells faintly of chlorine and lemon polish; reception doubles as a mini-shop, and the guest noticeboard is filled with hand-drawn maps to local tavernas. It suits budget-conscious couples or older travellers who want a quiet base with reliable basics, not a resort with organised entertainment.
Chronicles of Chloraka
Chloraka was a small agricultural village until the 1980s, when Paphos’s tourism boom pushed development north along the coast. Its architecture mixes low-rise hotel blocks, scattered villas and a handful of original stone farmhouses now converted into tavernas. The village church of Ayia Kyriaki (19th century) still holds Sunday liturgy, but the main road has become a strip of car rental offices and kebab shops. Today Chloraka feels like a liminal zone — neither the old Paphos harbour nor the all-inclusive resorts of Coral Bay, but a quiet residential strip serving visitors who prefer solitude to nightlife.
Best Time to Visit
Full Chloraka guide →Best months
May, September and October: daytime temperatures of 25-30°C, sea warm enough to swim, and resorts half-empty before the July/August crush.
Peak / festival surge
July and August: schools out across Europe, flights are full, and hotel prices at 3-stars like Sunny Hill jump 40-60% above May rates. The main driver is the Mediterranean heat and school holidays, not a specific festival.
Budget shoulder season
Late September and early October: still 28°C, lower room rates by 20-30%, and the sea retains summer warmth into mid-October.
Weather & packing
In July, the coastal breeze can drop to near calm by evening, leaving the air thick and still — expect 32°C days with 90% humidity after a brief afternoon thunderstorm. Pack one light cotton scarf or wrap for air-conditioned interiors and a high-SPF sunscreen that won’t wash off in sweat.
Live City Briefing — Chloraka
- The main Paphos–Coral Bay bus route (line 615) now has a stop 100 metres from Sunny Hill, running every 20 minutes until 11pm in summer — no car needed for the harbour or nightlife.
- A new Cyprus-style souvlaki takeaway opened in April 2026 on Chloraka’s main strip, replacing a closed gift shop; it’s cash-only and closes at 22:00.
- Construction noise from a villa development 200m north of the hotel (permit granted 2025) is audible from rear-facing rooms during weekday daytime hours — ask for a front-facing room if light sleepers.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Sunny Hill, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor at the back of the building, facing inland away from Griva Digeni. These rooms get the least street noise and have a small balcony overlooking the hotel's garden or pool area.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor facing the front (street side) — they get direct traffic noise from Griva Digeni, which is a main road through Chloraka, and have less privacy. Also avoid rooms directly above the small lobby/bar area on the ground floor, as sound carries up until midnight.
Best views
Rooms at the back (inland side) offer a view of the hotel's small garden and pool, plus the undulating hills of Chloraka. Front-facing rooms look directly onto Griva Digeni and the pavement, with the sea visible only in the distance between buildings.
Quietest floors
First and second floors are quietest. The building is only two storeys tall, so third-floor rooms would be under the roof and potentially hotter with no lift access.
🔊 Noise notes
Griva Digeni carries constant traffic from 7am to 10pm, including local buses and delivery vans. The hotel's bar/lounge plays background music until 11pm, audible in ground-floor front rooms. There's no lift at this 3-star property — only stairs — so avoid top-floor rooms if you have heavy luggage or mobility issues.
Insider tips
1. If you drive, ask reception for a space in the small rear car park — it's safer than parking on the street. 2. Request a room on the first floor back at booking, and confirm it again at check-in, as these are the first to go. The hotel's small pool towel exchange saves you carrying wet towels to your room.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
