2025 Paphos Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

#churches The first time we attempted to visit this ancient Church there was a religious service in progress so we were not permitted to enter past the door. The Church is a multidenominational where a number of religions use the facilities to undertake the provision of their religious Services. Most of the walls and ceiling are bare stone walls which has a rather cooling effect. On one the walls, cover by glass is the remains of a ancient fresco, it still possible to see the outline of a face. Simple wooden chairs form an aisle along the tiled floor leading up to the main altar. An ornate chandelier adorned with icons hangs, above the altar, from the domed section of the roof. The main altar is a simple table covered with a cloth with a silver crucifix on it. Behind the altar is a wooden reredos, screen, which is adorned with numerous religious images, icons and topped with a large wooden cross. After visiting some massive cathedrals in Europe, the inside of this one is not that spectacular, but the history of the location (specifically Paul's pillar) makes it a must visit. There are some platform walkways around the church, but unfortunately they were closed off The Pillars of St Paul and the tomb and burial place of Erik Ejegod, King of Denmark are nearby.

#100WaysOfTravel 10 min walk from the Paphos harbour is this pretty church which is built upon the ruins of other churches and there are some interesting mosaics outside the church. There is a walkway over the ruins and mosaics with info boards describing what you’re seeing and the phases of construction/destruction but these were closed off so you couldn’t really see anything. StPauls pillar is situated near the entrance gate.

#100waysoftravel I visited EVERY SINGLE beach in Paphos to make sure that you discover, enjoy and remember your trip to one of the incredible Paphos beaches. These are all the Paphos beaches that are about relaxing and catching the rays. They all have shower/toilet facilities and you’ll be able to hire a sunbed/umbrella. • Antasia Beach Bar is on the beach and allows you to take your drinks away to your sunbeds (€2.50 each + €2.50 Umbrella). The swimming is protected by large rock banks and is as good as it gets. • Faros Beach (Lighthouse Beach) The beach has very good soft sand throughout and a decent amount of space to be able to set up and accommodate a decent crowd. It has a volleyball pitch, a sand football pitch, sunbeds, shower block, toilet block, cafe with food/drink, lifeguard and well-protected swimming. The facilities are a little outdated but still function completely well • Venus Beach is a large sandy beach with a good amount of space to set up your towel and start your day. The swimming is gorgeous and protected with a large rock bank. The beach has lifeguards and a small hut to buy drinks. The beach also has a decent enough shower and toilet block • Coral Bay Beach This is one of the best-known beaches in Paphos and for good reason. It’s a long stretch of soft sand that can accommodate a decent amount of people and has great swimming. There is a permanent lifeguard, shop, toilet/shower block (€1 to use the shower), 2 restaurants and watersports on the beach, so there is everything you could ask for. There is even a place where you can get an on beach massage.

The Archaeological Park of Kato Pafos (Paphos) is one of the most important archaeological sites in Cyprus. Since 1980, it has been included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It is important to note that Paphos was the capital city of Cyprus between 2nd Century BC and 4th Century AD. The park is extremely huge and the entrance fee (€4.50) is truly worth the money and time! My favourite site is the Villa House of Aion with its marvellous and most detailed mosaics on display, dating from 4th Century BC to the Middle Ages. There are also other Houses with even more mosaics for you to admire. Remember to enjoy the site at your own pace using a self-guided tour. #celebratewithtrip #cyprus #paphos

Paphos was a capital of Cyprus and a very important port. So, Paphos Harbour Castle was built to protect the city and the harbor. But it has a long history. In 1222 year it was destroyed by earthquake. During next centuries it was rebuilt and destroyed several times because of different wars and changes of rules of the island. During those centuries it was a fortress and even a warehouse house for salt. But now it’s an archeological museum, and sometimes it hosts different cultural events. It’s a nice place to walk around and learn more about the history of the island. ✅Working hours: from 8:30 am till 7:30 pm daily. ✅Entrance fee: 2,5 euro. #bucketlistreboot

These include: House of Dionysus – this is a preserved ruins of a Roman villa dating to the 2nd, century known for colourful mosaics of Dionysus. It’s not clear whether only romans lived there and is believed wealthy native Greeks also could have inhabited the house. The mosaic floor from the House of Aion is considered one of the most exceptional works of ancient Roman art, if not the only work of its kind. House of Theseus – this exceptionally large villa was the residence of the Roman proconsul or governor, and was divided between rooms for official functions and those for private use. #paphos

#bucketlistreboot Paphos is famous for its rocky coastline with clear water and different natural bays filled with fish. They say nearby is where Aphrodite’s herself landed when she rose from the seas. Paphos Castle Tourists can take a stroll in Paphos’ marina area culminating the 15 min walk at the castle area. Although not an impressive construction, it does offer some great all round photos. You can also swim in the water, as you will see multiple steps so people can go down safely into the sea. Also, if you are lucky enough you can also see turtles. Yes, turtles!

Pafos, located on the southwest coast of Cyprus, is a charming city with both mythology and historical relics. According to legend, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, was born here among the waves, making Paphos full of poetry and mystery. This coastal town not only has a charming blue coastline, but also contains relics of thousands of years of civilization - from Greek temples, Roman mosaic palaces, Byzantine churches, to ancient castles from the Crusades and Ottoman periods, and even modern British colonial heritage, every piece of history has left its mark on this land. The old town of Paphos has also been listed as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. It is a museum where you can travel through time and space by walking through it. Cyprus itself is an island country full of cultural contradictions but also full of charm. The south is ruled by Greek Cypriots and retains a strong Greek cultural atmosphere and warm island life; the north is actually controlled by Türkiye and presents a completely different culture and food style. You can visit two islands on one trip and experience the fusion of two national conditions, languages ​​and cuisines. Today, Paphos is not only a paradise for history lovers, but also a synonym for sunshine, beaches, fine wine and delicious food, and a peaceful life. Whether you are looking for a romantic roots or simply on vacation to relax, you can find your own rhythm here. ⸻ Traffic Information: • Flight method: From Taiwan, you can transfer to a major European city (such as Athens, Istanbul or Dubai), then take a flight to Paphos International Airport (PFO) or Larnaca International Airport (LCA), and then transfer to Paphos (Larnaca to Paphos is about 1.5 hours). • Urban transportation: There are buses and taxis in Paphos, or you can rent a car and drive to explore the countryside and coastal routes. • Entry reminder: If you plan to enter the Northern Cyprus region (controlled by Turkey) at the same time, you need to check the latest customs regulations. There are multiple checkpoints between the two places. Holders of EU passports or most tourist visas can pass freely. If you want to take a trip where myths and sunshine are intertwined, Paphos is worth your slow introduction.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The sea in Cyprus is as clear as the eyes, and the emerald blue is as transparent as Tiffany's 90% transparency. Friends who love the sea must not miss it. Even if you have seen the sea countless times, you will still be amazed. Overview of South Cyprus: A member of the European Union, Greek-speaking, belonging to the Eurozone (visa-free for Northern Cyprus, descendants of Turkey), a member of the Commonwealth, a backyard for the British, with British people with various accents everywhere. Visa: For non-Schengen countries, Chinese citizens need a visa, but those with a Schengen visa or EU residence permit are exempt from the visa requirement. Transportation: Taxi prices are relatively expensive compared to local prices. A taxi from the airport to Alykes Beach area: bolt 35 Euros (don’t call the taxi stands outside the airport, they make a profit from the price difference). Accommodation: We stayed in the Alykes Beach area. The archaeological park is nearby, which I think is quite convenient. I recommend it! Pafos Travel Guide: The following itinerary can be completed in two days (one day is a bit tight because Cyprus is too hot, it is better to take a proper rest in the afternoon) a. Pafos Old Town (take a taxi from Alykes for 12 Euros) b. Archaeological Museum (free) c. Heritage Park (9 Euros) d. Glass bottom sea trip (90 minutes, 15 euros per person, you can swim in the sea for about 10 minutes, remember to warm up before going into the sea), you can also choose a longer time, such as going to the blue lagoon for about 3-4 hours. We were a little seasick, so we chose the shortest time e. Watch the sunset at Alykes Beach f. We also caught up with the Aphrodite Cultural Festival and watched Lady of the Camellias accompanied by the sound of waves, just to show off our taste for culture. Food: Mainly traditional Greek barbecue, chicken skewers, pork skewers, seafood are all delicious, but don't choose lamb chops, they are expensive and taste average, not as good as Greek lamb skewers. In addition, there are also Chinese food, American fast food, etc. I ate some and I recommend three to you: a. Alykes, a small shop, food time b. A small shop in the old town of Pafos: Souvlakia Mixalos (10 minutes walk from the museum) c. Breakfast shop: Pingouino, great view, delicious food, super affordable, full English breakfast is only 7.5 euros, but I see that the locals basically just drink a cup of coffee and chat while eating, so pleasant Nightlife: There are many bars, but they don't seem to be of high quality.

#aprilblooms If you looking for another destination with trees blooming in April, I’d recommend you Cyprus 🇨🇾 Cyprus, with its warm Mediterranean climate and fertile soil, is home to a variety of native trees that have thrived for centuries. From the vibrant Oleander to the stately Olive, the trees of Cyprus are not only a crucial part of the island's ecosystem but also hold significant cultural value. Oleander is a striking shrub or small tree, easily recognisable by its vibrant pink, five-lobed flowers and deep green lance-shaped leaves. Though it's a popular choice for ornamental gardens across Cyprus, it's important to note that Oleander is highly toxic. Care should be taken to keep children and pets away from this beautiful yet dangerous plant. Orange wattle (Acacia saligna) is a small tree that is native to Australia and sometimes planted in semi-arid environments outside its native range as a windbreak and to combat soil erosion. Orange wattle produces yellow flowers in late winter and early spring. The seeds of the tree are distributed by ants that harvest them for food. My favorite are Bauhinia (Orchid Tree, Bauhinia variegata) Orange (Citrus aurantium) Wild Pistachio (Pistacia atlantica) European nettle tree (Celtis australis)

Ready to book my next trip to return to Cyprus after a few days catching some rays in Paphos 

Stayed 5 nights in OL Paphos and definately lived up to its 5 stars. The Staff get what service means from the front of house, to cleaning team, bar/restaurant staff and entertainment team, they cater to your every need. The rooms were spacious and where they can they upgrade if the hotel isnt too busy so you have a better stay. The food always changed and having 4 different restaurants to choose from gives variation although some are seasonal and need a minimum stay to access. We visited the Italian which was a 7 course menu and was blown away with the quality of food. (Men please ensure have long trousers and a collared shirt) This is an all inclusive hotel and one of a high standard. Not restricted to local drinks and can get branded spirits and even kopperberg cider on tap. Yes pricey depending on when you go but food and drink are value for money. You also get allocated sun beds which you can choose and change so no worrying about what spot round the pool you might get! #poolhotel #buffets #beachlife #OlympicLagoon

During a recent trip to Paphos, Cyprus, we visited the recommended "Pink Cafe" name Stephanie Rose.

It would be an ideal venue also for a hen doo gathering and definately some great insta picture opportunities. #StephanieRose #thingstodo #afternoonteatime #localfood

#celebrateit Tombs of the Kings is an ancient necropolis containing numerous large tombs dating from the 4th century BCE to the 3rd century AD. The name is something of a misnomer as no kings are thought to have been buried here. The name, rather, refers to the magnificence of the tombs, which were the burial places of wealthy senior government officials and aristocrats. Many of the tombs are very elaborate with decorated walls and columns carved out of the solid rock. The site is fascinating and very important historically, dubbed a UNESCO World heritage site. A particular type of amphora was commonly buried with the dead and these ceramics always contain a stamp that allows archaeologists to date them and other items found in the same burial.
