In a nutshell
Ignore the tourism....find the history!
22 Reviews Coral Bay beach is tourists' favourite beach in Paphos. I was recently here and I have a video showing the whole of the coral bay. (Don't miss it). Take the coast road from Paphos Town north for about 14 miles signposted to Peyia. There are frequent service buses from Kato Paphos
10 Reviews A beautiful and unique area of Cyprus.Tradition says that 'Adonis' the God of Beauty attended his Horses in this place and hunted in the Akamas Forest.Accoring to Greek Mythology Adonis and Aphrodite had many children here,the citizens of Paphos are supposed to be descendents of these two...
7 Reviews Visiting Paphos Harbour will offer you a wonderful but sometimes confusing array of both eateries and bars but dont be bullied into the first place you pass. Take your time and walk the length of the Harbour terraces and decide on the place of your choice when you return along the wonderful walls of...
12 Reviews The Tombs of the Kings that is a totally misleading name for this wide area of tombs, because not a single king was buried there. They might have been rich people but certainly no kings and their tombs were in many cases built like their former houses with an atrium in the middle. You can walk 2-3...
12 Reviews Dominating the harbour area of the town is the wonderful Paphos Fort. Whilst not on the grand scale of some of the castles of Western Europe, it is still a fascinating place with a lot of history, and is extremely popular with tourists and Cypriots alike. The history begins with the Byzantines who...

Pit-stop bar, Paphos.: Not normally my kind of thing.
planxty Says: I must say, as the title suggests, it's not normally my kind of thing to travel overseas and go to "English pubs" or "Irish bars" - I mean, what's the point? I was taken here, however, by Cypriot friends, and found it to be a great place. OK, it serves all the usual UK...
Shrekshrek Says: The bar is like an addiction. Just one visit and you will return to it time and time again. A popular place downtown in Paphos Tomb of the Kings, the place provides an excellent atmosphere to enjoy your evening drink as you watch European football on large plasma screens,...
greekcypriot Says: If you plan to explore the island the best way to do it is by hiring a car. Travel independent if possible. I advise that you get a good map and try to use the main roads mostly. Petrol is quite cheap but before you set off make sure you have plenty especially if you plan to...
greekcypriot Says: Find all the information you might need through the thread I give below.There is daily bus service, even during the weekends as from summer 2010, the company is very reliable, and the buses depart exactly on the time mentioned.Routes for all the main cities: Larnca,...

Precautions -Weever's fish poisonous spines!
greekcypriot Says: It is advisable to have plastic shoes on when you swim to avoid the danger of being bitten by a dragon-fish (drakena) in Greek. I had heard of many cases in the past and I have known about these bites from youth. Recently a friend’s daughter was bitten by one and she spent a...
tombrown83 Says: If you do decide to venture into the Red Lion English Pub in Bar Street Paphos, be sure to check your bill, our group and another were repeatedly over charged for drinks that were never purchased. Looks as though the barman is a nice little take.
Car Rental Scam - 27€ for petrol
Katie&Jordi Says: Just came back from a nice trip in Cyprus. However, before adding some suggestions of things to do there, we thought we'd put out a warning for future visitors. We went browsing for a car rental from Pahos to visit the area for a couple of days. We met a nice sales lady and...
