Q: What are the top tourist attractions in Paphos?

Paphos Archaeological Park: Step inside Roman villas to see detailed mosaics in the Houses of Dionysos and Theseus, then walk past the Odeon and lighthouse on the rocky headland. Tombs of the Kings: Explore rock-cut chambers and sunken courtyards, wander between Doric columns, and feel the sea breeze at this ancient necropolis. Paphos Harbour and Castle: Stroll the waterfront to the medieval castle, climb to the roof for harbour views, and snack on grilled halloumi along the quay. Petra tou Romiou (Aphrodite’s Rock): Pull over to see the limestone sea stacks tied to Aphrodite’s legend, swim if the water’s calm, and photograph sunset colours from the pebbly beach. Agia Kyriaki Chrysopolitissa & St. Paul’s Pillar: Walk raised paths over a field of ancient columns, step into the active church, and find the pillar where tradition says Paul was flogged.

Question 2

Is Paphos walkable?

Accepted Answer

Kato Paphos is very walkable, so you can reach the Harbour, Archaeological Park, and the promenade on foot; Tombs of the Kings is a longer but doable walk, while the Old Town is uphill.

OSYPA buses help a lot: 610 runs Harbour to Old Town Karavella, 615 goes Harbour to Coral Bay via Tombs of the Kings, and 612 connects the Harbour with Paphos Airport. For comfort in the heat or winery and Troodos day trips, a private tour in Paphos with private transportation is a good option.
