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 ...

Advantages: Good location. Lively atmosphere Authentic Disadvantages: Gets busy
The El Macho Mexican Restuarant is located in Hope Street,the appropriately named street that separates the two Cathedrals in
Liverpool. It is a very convenient location -not far from the city centre or the University.I have been to El Macho's twice and must say I liked the simple rustic decor,the friendly,exuberant service, the food
and the drinks. For the quality of the food on offer,it is also reasonably priced.It is a lively spot and gets very busy so it is
probably wise to book a table.I have been told that Sir Paul McCartney, when he is in town ,likes to visit this little corner of Mexico but he wasnt there when I was.
They have a good range of Mexican starters with the likes of nachos,
chillis, beans and dips while among the entrees are seafood dishes and their famous Mexican Skillet which comprises charcoal grilled ...

Advantages: Friendly people, cheap food, great atmosphere, hot! Disadvantages: perhaps too touristy, and will become more so in time
to pick up a few bits, and then we went down to the square in Tala Village to have a drink. Tala Village is under a 5 minute walk from our Tala Hills apartment block, and has a couple of restaurants and places to drink, as well as a couple little shops. We sat down outside and had a beer each (Keo being the beer to drink in Cyprus. Brewed on the island, it is available everywhere). After that we decided to drive down to Paphos Harbour where we saw Paphos Castle, which is the smallest castle I have ever seen in my life! This was originally built as a fort to protect the harbour, but was destroyed and rebuilt after an earthquake in the thirteenth century. I?m not sure that there is much more known of the history of the castle, Wikipedia tells me that several archaeological excavations have taken place in order to find out more about its past ...
