The Old Town of Paphos has clearly had some money spent on it in terms of modernization. We only visited on a Monday evening, and it was extremely quiet. However, based on the few hours we were there, we enjoyed exploring with the kids and felt extremely safe. Everywhere was clean, and I would say it's worth a trip to check it off the list.

Definitely worth a visit and have some lunch as you look out over Pathos. Make sure you walk through all the old streets and alleys. Easy to get there, 610 bus from Pathos harbour depot, two euros single fare, buses run every 15 mins but check with girl at depot kiosk who will give you a timetable, she was very helpful and friendly.

Don’t often write reviews but felt i had to due to some negative ones on here ! Honestly think some people must have gone to the wrong area or not ventured far enough into the labyrinth of shops, bars and restaurants . We went early evening on a Friday when sun had set and it was lovely, shops still open and bars just starting to get busy. By the time we came away at 9ish it was really heaving and a lovely atmosphere as people sat outside bars drinking and chatting. A lot of money has been spent on pedestrianising the central area and it was well worth it,one of the best parts of our holiday!

This was not what I expected. The market is a number of stools set up for tourists that are all very similar. Not the market experience I was expecting. There is nice pedestrianised area, but many of the shops / bars had closed down meaning there are a lot of empty units diminishing the experience of an ‘old town’ that I was looking for. Great view from the bus station over the sea and harbour. I would thoroughly recommend Sykaminia Cafe for lunch - which is opposite Cafe Nero near the bus station. Great atmosphere and well priced fresh food. Nice views towards the ocean, The town is worth a visit, but lower your expectations.

Beautiful place. Visited the centre, with its beautiful white buildings, then walk through the shopping area to the municipal Market, then along the front to see lovely bars and restaurants in the sunshine with views over to the sea, Paphos and the archaeological Park. A must do just 10 mins bus ride up the hill from the bus station on the 618.

The "old" town was pleasant to walk through but not so special. Lots of souvenir shops and plenty of opportunities to eat something. Given the high altitude of the old town you do have a nice view over Paphos. If you do some research in advance , then of course you know that the old town is not an authentic old town that catapults you back in time , there has been a lot of modernisation . I wouldn't detour for hours, but if you're around, you'll want to have been there.

I think we went at an off hour so it was very quiet. There are many souvenir shops and cafes. It easily accessible with the 610 bus from the harbor. Given that it’s on a mountain it affords great views of the Paphos coastline and lighthouse. We liked having another perspective of the city.

The center of Old Paphos is a real treat. Superbly designed pedestrian zones with beautifully designed buildings, nice cafes and restaurants invite you to stroll and explore. We were at an art exhibition in the cultural center. The best are the public squares with a view down to the sea in the evening sun!!!

There is no “Old Town” at the location shown on Google maps. There’s the town hall and square nearby which is worth a look in passing. The best part of Paphos town is the streets around the municipal market (which is just a few clothes and jewellery stalls, not a traditional market). It’s interesting to visit for an hour and have a drink or eat at one of the sea view restaurants, but definitely not a day trip!

laid back little old town. walked across and up the hill from tomb of the kings (wouldnt want to do in heat if summer!), through some of the old streets and through the market. Decent but wont take long to wander through
