Going to paphos for 10+ years I can remember when the old town was the fruit market! Now it’s stunning streets of local bars and restaurants where you will find local Cypriots enjoying Sundays with their whole families , w real authentic feel. Streets are picturesque. Some really lovely restaurants can’t wait to explore some more next year!

Unfortunately visited on a wed afternoon so half day closing for shops. Iced coffee revived us after a long walk and was like finding an oasis in the middle of the desert! Once revived, lovely streets to explore. Lots of eateries, coffee shops, tavernas and an amazing sunset whilst sipping a cocktail. Then enjoyed some cypriot BBQ food and people watching from various different locations in the town. Definitely.worth a visit

Nice walk to the old town. Some lovely coffee and juice shops with beautiful views of the sea. Also a market in a beautiful setting. We had a coffee and a juice at Sykaminia some humus olives and bread which was fresh reasonably price and delicious

We had a fab time in the Old Town and are not sure what the negative comments are about. Yes, there are lots of samey tourist shops but there are also loads of independent art galleries, cafes and restaurants. Paphos is a tourist resort, so you need to manage your expectations, but this is great for a few hours’ break from the pool.

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.

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.

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.
