The luxurious, 4-star superior Athena Royal Beach Hotel is firm favourite with First for Bridge guests. Ideally located in beautiful gardens overlooking the ocean, a flat 30-minute coastal walk takes you right into Paphos harbour. As well as immersing yourself in our daily bridge sessions, we include five bowls sessions, bridge seminars and twice weekly dancing lessons. Guests can also enjoy the excellent spa and wellness facilities the hotel has to offer, including indoor and outdoor pools, steam and sauna.
