Guide

The harbour is the centre of Kato Paphos. A wide promenade runs along the water past fishing boats, tour boats and a row of cafés and fish taverns, and ends at the castle on the old harbour wall.

Most boat trips in Paphos leave from this quay: glass-bottom boats, short coastal cruises and day trips along the coast. The entrance to the archaeological park, with its Roman mosaics, is a few steps behind the promenade.

The catch. It gets busy on summer evenings and there is little shade on the quay at midday. Boat prices differ between operators, so compare before you pay.

Local tip. Walk out to the castle about an hour before sunset. The roof looks straight down the harbour.

Paphos Castle

A small fort at the end of the harbour wall. It began as a Byzantine fort, was rebuilt by the Lusignans in the 13th century and by the Ottomans in the 16th. You enter over the stone bridge on the east side. The roof gives the best view of the harbour.
