Pegeia is situated mainly on the steep slopes of the coastal hills inland from Coral Bay, at the southern end of the Akamas Peninsula, and it lies 14 km northwest of Paphos.

[citation needed] Distinctively one can notice that the Cypriot Greek dialect in this region, including nearby villages of Kathikas, Akoursos, and Kissonerga has a characteristic singing and fluctuating tone that resembles very much the Italian way of speech.

[2] Pegeia, like many other towns in the Paphos region, sports a large number of cafes and restaurants along the main road of Coral Bay.

[citation needed] The towns' football team APOP Kinyras Peyias FC formerly played in the Cypriot First Division but dissolved after bankruptcy in 2012.

Since 2019, the town has received increased media coverage since professional footballer Gerard Piqué and international pop singer Shakira acquired a residence in the region.
