Chloraka
is a nice village near the sea. The area
has grown in popularity in recent years
and many properties have been built
there as the area offers such fantastic
views.
A well known landmark in Chloraka is the
shipwreck pictured here. Back in March
1998, heavy seas caused the
Honduran-flagged M/V Demetrios II into
some rocks in the shallow waters just
off the coast near Paphos Lighthouse,
close to Chloraka Village. The ship was
en route from Greece to Syria and was
carrying a cargo of timber.
Luckily the crew of eight men – four
Greeks, two Pakistanis and two Syrians
were all airlifted to safety by a
British Military helicopter.
The vessel was left stranded on rocks
near the Paphos lighthouse, where it
remains to this day.
The area of Chloraka has enough shops,
restaurants and banks to fulfill the
needs of locals and visitors. It is a
reasonable distance to Paphos Airport
and other major towns such as Coral Bay
and Kato Paphos.
