Things to do in Paphos
Paphos is split into two parts, and you'll spend most of your time in lower Paphos, or Kato Paphos. Located around the harbour, this is the city's old town, and the Paphos Archaeological Park takes up most of it. The park is definitely the biggest attraction here, and there's a huge number of sites to see. Some of the best-preserved sites are the old Roman villas whose mosaic floors look almost as good today as they did in the 2nd century. The 16th-century Paphos fort is also worth a visit.
The main shopping area of Paphos is located just on the outskirts of the old town, and this is where you'll be able to pick up souvenirs. Many shops are located inside the Kings Avenue Mall, which is home to more than 120 stores. There are both high street and designer labels available here.
The other part of the city is the upper Paphos or Pano Paphos. This is more of a residential area, but if you're visiting for more than just a few days, it's well worth checking out. The boutiques here are more trendy, and the bars are a little chicer. There are also lovely views over the old town and the sea.
The Best Beaches in Paphos
If you're flying from the UK to Cyprus for its beaches, you won't be disappointed in Paphos. The easiest beach to access from the old town is Alykes Beach. It's small, but super convenient. There's also Faros Beach just to the north, which is handy if you're on your way to see the Tombs of the Kings. If you're hiring a car, you can take the 25-minute drive north, where Coral Bay and Corallia Beach offer bigger, sandier areas to relax. These are great family-friendly beaches with watersports and loungers.
Discover Cypriot Cuisine in Cyprus
For food, there are lots of choices. Paphos is a decent-sized city, so you'll have no trouble finding easy, fast food options like you'd get back home. But if you have the time, try some of the local cuisines. Cypriot cuisine is a blend of Greek and Turkish influences, and the best way to sample a little bit of everything is by ordering meze: a selection of small dishes featuring local foods and flavours. Sweet tooth? Definitely try the loukoumi. It's similar to a Turkish Delight, although it can be made in many different ways. It originates from Geroskipou, which is just a few minutes away from Paphos.
