Paphos
by call_me_rhia
I found the town of Paphos really disappointing... it's huge and it's all made up of abitative concrete blocks, for the retired (from britain, mainly). A very unattractive town with a glorious past... the birthplace of the goddess of love, Aphrodite. Basically, this is not Cyprus, it's a British colony. There's lots of beer around, plenty of fast-food or all-british-food joints, and people enjoying a few drinks too many. Oh, I forgot, very aggressive traffic, too. Paphos is some beautiful sights, too. The mosaic archaeological site is truly stunning and is on the UNESCO list. There's also a Medieval Fort at the harbor and some interesting and lesser known churches. Another great sight is the Tombs of the Kings, a very mysterious and enchanting archaeological area a few kilometres from the centre.
GREAT WAY TO SEE THE ISLAND.

We hired a speed boat which was great fun,it costs 5 Cyprus pounds each and we had half an hour,they do special prices if you want the boat for longer and they supply the life jackets.You can find them down at the harbour in Paphos.Its a great way to see some of the Island.
Odeon, Asclepion & Agora
by globetrott
The Odeon, Asclepion & Agora are at the very end of the excarvation-area in Kato Pafos and they are dating back to the time around 200-400 AD. There are no mosaiques there, just some remains of stones and the seats of a theatre. In this area you also have to be careful, where you go, there are lots of side-paths leading to nowhere or to a place where you have to turn around again or jump down for quite a big distance.
Medieval fun
by anna-m about Robin Hood
Robin Hood bar is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Paphos, partly because of its great position (in the very centre of the "nightlife street", so you can't miss it wherever you go), partly because of its appearance (it is a kitchy, flashy "replica" of a medieval castle), but mostly because of the general atmosphere which is allways very pleasant. The place is frequented both by locals and tourists, the music is different every night, the coctails are yummy and, generally speaking, Robin Hood is a great place to spend a fun evening at. If you don't mind the castle, that is :)
Snacks and Breakfast - Hard to Beat
by cappielow1 about Pambis Diner
Pambis Diner provides a great place for a quick snack/breakfast or evening meal as you wish, or just a rest stop and quick drink on your way home, particularly for those who are staying in the Universal area of Kato Paphos. The menu provides a range of snacks, burgers and full meals at very reasonable prices. "Effiel Tower" - this is listed as a snack, BUT, provides a full tank.
This particular delicacy consists of a layer of French Toast topped with two large sausages, another layer of French toast topped with a couple of rashers of bacon, another layer of French Toast all topped off with baked beans.
I know it's not the healthiest of dishes but, boy it tastes good!!
Stay away from the chips though, They try and make "Real Chips" (rather than frozen) unfortunately it's not happening for them.
