Acheleia is a village in Cyprus, located 7 kilometres southeast of Paphos, near the Paphos International Airport. It is about 35 meters above sea level, just a few meters east of the bed of the Ezusa River, which is locally known as the Ahelia River.

A water channel runs through the village. In Achelia, grapes, vegetables, citrus fruits, cereals, peanuts, potatoes, olives, deciduous trees, fodder plants and more are grown. Near the village's main road is the 16th-century church of St. George (Agios Georgios) Agios Georgios Church.
