Basilica Holiday Resort, Paphos

Paphos for all season Holidays.

Advantages: It is very friendly, drive on the Left hand side, and mostly speak English
Disadvantages: You can't lay on the beaches in the winter, and the evenings are cold.

car park is now one way in - one way out. leaving the sea front safe and clean. I can honestly say that the promanade now competes with the South of France. So to continue on with the review of Paphos I will leave you to read on..... Paphos is Ideal for all year round holidays. Many thinks so but there are some unlucky holiday makers that have come here in the winter, are really disappointed. Honestly I can't blame them either. Unless you know what to do and where to go. it can be really boring, looking drab, and even the beaches don't look very special. Many of the harbour shops are closed and other stores are nor fully stocked. I would however like to address the balance. Paphos can be wonderful any time of year, but in the winter you need to go to the right Hotels, in the right part of town. I do not recommend a holiday ...

Review of Paphos (Cyprus)

Portrait of Paphos

Advantages: Charming combination of the old and the new give this resort something for everyone.
Disadvantages: Heat oppressive at height of summer. Some areas rather loud and built up

it really does sprawl out over a rather large area. All the guidebooks will tell you that Paphos is divided into two main areas Ktima Paphos (the town) and Kato Paphos (the harbour). However, I think that there are actually three distinct areas of Paphos, the town, the harbour and the sprawling array of shops and restaurants that line either side of the Tomb of the Kings Road. Ktima Paphos is situated slightly inland and houses a multitude of shops and offices, as well as the old Turkish/Greek quarter. If you enjoy shopping whilst on holiday, you'll be delighted to find branches of Marks and Spencer, Next and Debenhams, as well as all sorts of other Cypriot stores. Kato Paphos is much more appealing to my mind. Worth noting is the free car parking by the harbour, especially at night. It's almost impossible to find a space to ...

Review of Paphos (Cyprus)

Pafian Sun Holiday Village, Paphos, Cyprus

Advantages: See review
Disadvantages: See review

After coming back from one of the worst holidays i have ever had in Cyprus, my mind is zooming back to a wonderful holiday i had in Cyprus 3 years ago. Pafian Sun Holiday Village in Paphos was an absolute delight. The rooms were clean and modern (consisting of a double bedroom and a sleeping area in the living area for one person), the lounge area was light, airy and comfortable and the entertainment was varied. The pool area was amazing. As you swam in the pool it actually looked out to the sea, heaven. The staff were warm, friendly and helpful. Best of all was the "all inclusive" restaurant. The choice was overwhelming. The breakfast menu had everything you could imagine and every night there was a theme, ie. chinese, mexican english etc. There was also an "al a carte restaurant which was seperate from the the main ...
