Local life · Paphos Old Town
An afternoon in the Old Town
Slow down for small streets, a coffee break and a different side of Paphos.
Treat the upper town as its own outing, especially if you are starting at the seafront. Choose a few streets to explore and build in time for a meal. Check your return transport and individual opening hours rather than assuming everything stays open into the evening.
Make room for the upper town
Choose a few streets and a meal or coffee stop instead of trying to cover the whole area. The Old Town is distinct from the waterfront, so check the actual journey from your hotel. If you have a reservation, plan the arrival and return around that rather than assuming a quick walk from the harbour.
Let opening hours shape the visit
Look up the individual places that matter to you before travelling. An area can be pleasant to wander even when a particular shop or restaurant is closed, but that may not be the day you intended. Save a second food option in the same area and leave time to enjoy the streets between stops.
Pair with Laona if its opening hours suit your day.
