PAPHOS MAP - PAFOS
Paphos map
Pafos is located on the southwest coast, ranks as one of Cyprus most popular resorts combining a wealth of ancient sites, excellent property and plenty of local flavor. Compared to other seaside towns like Limassol, Pafos exudes a much slower pace of life and has always been particularly popular with UK visitors, many of which form part of the permanent local population. There is plenty to explore and for superb beaches, Coral Bay a 15 minutes drive from Pafos ranks as one of the best in the area. There are two nearby golf courses and plenty of sporting facilities and for the evenings there are a multitude of restaurants to choose from. Pafos is actually made up of two twin-towns. High on the hilltop, Ktima is a typical large town with thriving local shops, taverns, interesting buildings, churches and museums. In contrast ,Kato Pafos is the tourist area, which has developed by the waterfront providing visitors and residents with a very long promenade lined with excellent hotels and accommodation positioned either right by the sea or just across the road in between masses of shops and tavernas. Side streets too are packed with bars, discos, clubs, restaurants and more shops, all patronised by locals and tourists alike.
