Cyprus - Paphos holidays

introduction to Paphos

Paphos is ideal for sightseeing, combining a rocky coastline in some areas, with beach life and boasts a fascinating Old Town of winding alleyways, markets and shops. The town is really divided in two by the quaint fishing harbour and the Old Town, both relaxing and unhurried. Nearby is the harbourside, guarded by a looming Venetian Fort and bordered by open-air, terraced restaurants, cafés and bars. Paphos has plenty of ancient historical sites and monuments, such as the Tomb of the Kings and Roman mosaics. There are a number of small sandy bays dotted in and around the town, many offering watersports. The best stretch of sand is at Coral Bay, a short bus ride away. In the evening, the harbour bars and fish restaurants are the perfect place to relax and there are also Bouzouki clubs and bars around the harbour.
