Pavarotti's brings together the elegance of an aristocratic dining room and the aromatic smells of fresh herbs. Once these senses are triggered be prepared for a memorable evening.
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 ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: exceptional Review of Paphos (Cyprus)
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 ...

Paphos Cyprus
This August will be my fourth visit to Paphos ? yes you?re right. I love Paphos.
For anyone thinking of going this year or whenever may I suggest a couple of hotels/restaurants. The King Jason Apartments is excellent. They are very clean, have a large swimming pool/kids pool and a gym/sauna/whirlpool. The staff are extremely friendly. It?s an excellent place for all types but especially families. It is a short distance from the harbour and shops say a ten-minute walk at the most. I?ve stayed at this aparthotel twice. Last year I stayed at the Chrystallo. This is a small friendly family run apartments. Rooms were very clean and staff very helpful. It?s only drawbacks were the pool was a bit too small and if you ordered anything to eat it was about 15-20 minute wait. If you are simply looking for a place to ...
