The sleepy village of Pyla is a 2min walk from Pyla resort, a few minutes drive from the sea and approximately 10mins drive
to Larnaca. Pyla has a population of around 1500 people, with approximately 1000 Greek Cypriots and 500 Turkish Cypriots
living there. Greek and Turkish Cypriots have lived together in Pyla for 100s of years - and this is reflected by both the Greek
Orthodox church and the Muslim Mosque with Minarett. Within the village, there are a few small supermarkets, bars and
restaurants. There is also a medieval tower and an ancient Royal Tomb - both of which are free of charge and well worth a
look.
