Paphosfor families with babies
The first morning at Almyra, the breakfast staff hand you a sterilised highchair tray before you've asked. That's the tone of Paphos with a baby: people have done this before. It's a 4hr 35min flight from London Gatwick, the airport sits 15 minutes from the seafront hotels, and from late April to mid June the sea is warm enough for a 14 month old without being the 32C furnace of August. Almyra runs Baby Go Lightly, which means a sterilised bottle service in your room, a baby food menu, and a creche that takes children from 4 months (split into a dedicated 4 months to 3 years group, separate from the older Explorers club). Annabelle, its sister hotel a five minute walk along the same promenade, suits parents who want a bigger pool deck and a longer breakfast. If you can stretch to a transfer up to Polis Chrysochous (about 50 minutes north), Anassa is where I'd look on a second trip, when you already know what you need. Paphos itself is flat along the harbour front, the pavements take a buggy, and the archaeological park gates are wide enough that you don't have to fold anything. I'd choose Paphos over Crete or Rhodes for an under two specifically because the hotel cluster is so concentrated: if your baby is screaming, you are ten minutes from your room, always.
