PLACES TO VISIT
Paphos harbour and castle
The harbour at Paphos attracts visitors all year round, who take the opportunity to walk along the quay and maybe visit one of the fish restaurants or tavernas. The view is superb, with lots of colourful fishing boats bobbing in the harbour and the castle guarding the entrance of the castle. The castle is in fact all that remains of a much earlier castle dating from 1391, which was demolished by the Venetians. The Ottomans used it as dungeons and the British as a warehouse for salt! It can be reached via a small bridge over a moat and is worth a visit for the view at the top. Opening hours – winter daily 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., summer daily 9.a.m to 6 p.m. The harbour is also a good place to take a boat tour of the surrounding beaches and coastline.
