The CGF Championship 2026 Golf Cyprus tournament will take place on June 20–21, 2026, at Eléa Golf Club in Geroskipou, close to Paphos. The two-day sporting event offers visitors an opportunity to combine a summer break on the west coast of Cyprus with time on one of the island’s most scenic golf courses. Eléa Golf Club sits only a short drive from central Paphos, making the championship accessible for travellers staying near the harbour, the coastal hotels or Paphos Airport.
Set amid rolling countryside above the Mediterranean, the course has a distinctive landscape shaped by olive and carob trees, limestone outcrops and wide views towards the sea. The par-71 layout was designed by Sir Nick Faldo and incorporates the natural terrain rather than separating the course from its surroundings. During the championship weekend, players can expect a demanding round in warm early-summer conditions, with open fairways, carefully placed hazards and changing scenery across the course.
For spectators and travelling companions, the appeal of this golf event in Paphos extends beyond the competition itself. Eléa Golf Club provides a calmer contrast to the busy waterfront, with green fairways, pale stone and Mediterranean vegetation creating an elegant setting for a day outdoors. June sunlight can be strong, particularly around midday, so visitors should bring sun protection, water and light clothing. A shaded break between rounds or a relaxed meal after the action can make the day more comfortable.
The championship can also fit naturally into a longer stay in the Paphos region. Visitors can spend an evening walking along the Kato Paphos harbour promenade, where restaurants and cafés overlook the water near the medieval castle. The mosaics and ruins of Paphos Archaeological Park are another worthwhile stop, while the coastline towards Coral Bay offers beaches and sunset viewpoints. Travellers with extra time can continue inland to traditional villages or explore the quieter roads around the foothills.
Transport demand may increase around the championship dates, especially for golfers travelling with clubs and visitors planning to combine the course with coastal sightseeing. Eléa Golf Club is near both Paphos and the airport, so renting a car at Paphos Airport with 7777 Rent a Car can make the weekend easier to organise. Compact cars work well for couples and short city journeys, SUVs provide extra room for golf bags and luggage, and premium models offer added comfort for longer drives. Easy booking, transparent pricing and reliable service help visitors move smoothly between the course, their hotel and the wider Paphos region.
