Paphos is only a fifteen minute drive from Coral Bay and is well worth a day trip. Paphos is the ultimate 'eat out' experience with hundreds of cafes, restaurants and tavernas offering a vast diversity of cuisine. Paphos is home to the largest water park in Cyprus, and the biggest family rafting ride in Europe.
Paphos is a coastal town and has for many years been a popular holiday destination with its lovely crystal clear sea and stunning views over the ocean. Paphos is also very historical and you don't have to look far to view the amazing architecture in the old town. A very popular place for tourists and two popular areas are the town of Pano Paphos and coastal resort area of Kato Paphos. Riddled with creepy Catacombs (burial caves), mostly dating back to the early Christian period. The Tombs of the Kings , is a massive, spectacular necropolis (large burial site) hewn out of the sandy rocks 2km north of the town.
Paphos is considered very safe, with violent crime almost unheard of. The danger to tourists unfortunately comes from other tourists, who prey on their fellow travellers. An excellent place from which to hire water sports equipment, from wind surfers to small boats, scuba diving equipment to fishing tackle. Paphos is a booming town on the west coast of Cyprus renowned for wealthy tourism and the home of many ex-pats. It started life as two entities which have slowly but surely encroached on each other and become a complete town full of excellent restaurants and hotels serving both local and international holiday makers in a friendly atmosphere.
Summer temperatures peak in July and August, during which daytime temperatures in the mid-30s are not uncommon. June through to September is summer time in Paphos, where high temperatures are coupled with almost no rain. Summer brings guaranteed sunshine with the beautiful Mediterranean beaches that invite you to enjoy sunbathing, swimming and a variety of water sports. The winter is very short and temperature rarely falls below 16C, making the island eminently suitable for retirement / good investment rental return.
