3 · Coverage ladders

Walking-time coverage

Two paired ladders: how many hotels are within N minutes of a beach, and how many beaches are within N minutes of a hotel. Each ladder uses its own base population.

Hotels by walking time to a beach

Among hotels with at least one computed beach access, how many have a beach reachable within N minutes on foot.

4 · Publication limits

What this dataset does not claim

Some public-interest labels are not shown because the published source model does not currently contain a verified field for them. Missing claims are listed explicitly instead of being implied by the page design.

5 · Fastest connections

Fastest hotel-beach connections

The five shortest computed hotel-to-beach walking connections in the current dataset. Distance is the routed walking distance; time uses a standard 1.4 m/s pace.

6 · Accommodation footprint

By region

Hotels, rooms and beds by district. Famagusta is presented with its sub-areas (Agia Napa, Paralimni, Protaras) because its accommodation footprint is concentrated in those localities.

7 · Accommodation pressure

High-pressure beach areas

Beaches with the highest computed accommodation capacity within a 20-minute walk. This is a load indicator for planning purposes only.

Note. Accommodation pressure estimates nearby hotel capacity within a 20-minute walk. It is not a beach quality rating and should not be read as a ranking of "best beaches".
