Areas

Great place to have a walk at night as there are bars and restaurants everywhere. You might also walk into some beautiful buildings such as the town hall and the library. A few restaurants I can recommend in this area are Agora Tavern, Koutourou Ouzeri, Laona, Muse, Casa Mespilea, Honey, ... After dinner you can have walk in the area around Rum and Jam, Hovoli Café or Otto.Dieci Music Bar where you'll find plenty of cosy and trendy bars. These restaurants and bars are far less touristy than their counterparts in the harbour area which means you'll get to see the places where the locals hang out. My favourite area in Paphos!

Kato Paphos or Lower Paphos is the most touristy area of Paphos. In this area you'll find the harbour, castle, many hotels, several ancient ruins and more. At the harbour and the neighbouring promenade you'll find plenty of restaurants and small shops. Restaurants which I can recommend in this area are Ouzeri Almyra, Alea Allday Lifestyle, Hondros, Theo's, ... In the so called 'Bar Street' you'll find plenty of bars and night clubs where tourists come to indulge in alcohol and loud music at night.

Smaller tourist hub a bit outside of Paphos. You'll find some restaurants and bars on the main street. I can't recommend any because I rarely go there. The only place I know and like is Porto Antico. The beach at Coral Bay is beautiful but crowded. Just outside of the Coral Bay area is a place I would definitely recommend. It's called 'Oniro By The Sea'. Be sure to go there for sunset as the place is very photogenic around that time.

Kathikas is a cosy little village in the hills of the Paphos district. There isn't much to do but I suggest going there for dinner one night to get a feel of what a small Cypriot village is like. One way this could work out perfectly is to stop here on your way back from a day trip to Polis/Latchi/Akamas. There are plenty of traditional taverns along the cobblestone streets but don't expect anything fancy here. My favourite one is Imogen's Inn (just write 'Imogens Kathikas' in Google maps because 'Imogens Inn' is pinned on a wrong position). Other popular places are 'To Stekki Tou Panai' and 'Petradaki'. When you drive trough this area you'll drive past small vineyards now and then. If you're interested you can sample some of the wines they make here with the grapes grown in these vineyards. One of the places you can do so is the Vasilikon Winery. - 25km from the apartment -

A small fishing village on the northern shores of the Paphos district. It has now become a small tourist hub where you'll find plenty of restaurants along the coast with a more laidback vibe than in Paphos. Latchi is also the place where you'll start your Akamas Peninsula adventure. You can opt to take a boat trip from the Latchi harbour. Different options exist ranging from half day trips to full day boat trips to sunset cruises. Another way to visit the Akamas peninsula is by going overland. There are many rental shops in the area where you can rent a quad bike or buggy to cruise through the national park on your own. Organised 'safari tours' departing from Paphos are also an option. - 40km from the apartment -

Sights & Activities

The coastal broadwalk connecting the lighthouse beach with the harbour of Paphos offers beautiful views over the mediterranean sea. I recommend doing this walk at sunset. You can get some take away pizza and eat it on one of the benches while enjoying the sunset. Or you can do the walk while enjoying the views on your way to the restaurants at the harbour. The entire walk from the apartment to the lighthouse beach to the harbour will take around 30 minutes on a relaxed pace. - 500m from the apartment -

Nice sandy beach. You can come here after your lunch at Viklari or after hiking the Avakas Gorge. Be aware that the road to get here is very bumpy. An alternative is White River Beach which is also a quiet and remote beach. If you think your car won't manage the road to Lara Beach you can choose for this beach. - 25km from the apartment -

Located in the Limassol district this cosy village in the Troodos is really worth a visit. You can make it a day trip by combining this with a visit to the village of Lofou, a little hike to waterfalls (Millomeris, Caledonia, ...) around Platres, one of the monasteries in the area and finish the day at one of the many wineries (Zambartas, Vlassides, ...) in this region.

Food & Drinks

Great Greek food and good atmosphere. My favourite thing about this place is the refreshing menu they offer. You'll find dishes here that you won' find on every other menu. Also a good choice for vegetarians. Make sure to make a reservation a few days in advance and ask to be seated outside. - 2km from the apartment -
