Detailed pathos map in Russian. Paphos map in Russian
In 2 days we filmed and created a small guide about what to see and where to go in Paphos (other videos about holidays in Cyprus can be viewed on our YouTube channel).

Attractions of Paphos on the map
To make it convenient to navigate and understand where everything is, we have placed on the map of Paphos a photo with the main objects and attractions (the map increases with a mouse click):
Map of the central part of Paphos
Map of the northwestern part of Paphos
This attraction is a kind of symbol of Paphos, appears on most souvenirs and is considered a must-see. In fact, this building is not distinguished by any architectural delights.
In general, this castle has a rather difficult fate. According to historians, the first half of the thirteenth century can be considered the time of the foundation of the castle, after which at different times they tried to besiege it (however, not unsuccessfully), then partially dismantled it, then restored it ... Now we see the castle, which was restored by the Turks in the sixteenth century.
At all times, the castle carried either a defensive or service function. So the Turks had a prison in it, and the British generally stored salt in it.
Cost: 2.5 euros per adult and 1.5 euros reduced (children / pensioners).
Near the castle there is a sculpture of a lying woman. Perhaps it is a symbol of salvation. There is a QR code on the stone, by which you can find out the history of the creation of the sculpture.
These are the cute boats you can meet in Cyprus
Near the castle is a long promenade with a large number of cafes and restaurants.
The beginning of the central embankment of Paphos from the side of the castle
And this is a landmark of the Paphos embankment - a live pelican. Walks around fish restaurants every day. Allows you to take pictures with you
Of the sights near the castle, if you walk literally a hundred meters to the bus stop, there is the entrance to the Archaeological Park, which is just as easy to visit.
Archaeological Park of Paphos
This park is located in the open air, so it is best to choose a not very hot day for visiting it, because. You can find shade in the park, but there is very little of it. You need to either enter the building, which is located near the entrance (the House of Eon is indicated on the map), or hide in the pavilions, which can be quite hot.
Cost: Entrance to the park costs 4.5 euros for an adult. There are benefits for children and pensioners.

Opening hours of the archaeological park in Paphos (open seven days a week, all year round)
By the way, about the map - you can ask at the entrance to give you a map in Russian. You can even say "Russian" - "Rush" they themselves rarely say. Although, it is not very informative.
This is how the map of the archaeological park looks like (objects are placed on the map rather conditionally)
The first objects for inspection are located in this building (here you can also watch a film in English about how the excavations were carried out)
And these are actually the objects themselves - the tools of archaeologists
The photo shows the Odeon (marked on the map under the number 8, not to be confused with the theater under the number 5).
The park is rich in various ruins left from the houses of wealthy citizens and officials. All of them were destroyed as a result of earthquakes, but numerous mosaics of that time survived, which you can look at. Each is provided with detailed descriptions in English. Here are just a few mosaics that seemed pretty to us.
Ruins, remnants of ancient houses
Mosaics in Paphos Archaeological Park
Tablet describing the previous mosaic
The houses are named after ancient Greek gods. Naturally, completely different people lived in these houses :)
There is a lighthouse on the territory of the park, which was built in the second half of the 19th century by the British. Interestingly, the lighthouse is still active. Therefore, climbing it will not work. The staircase that goes in a circle rises halfway and ends with a locked door. But even from there you can make beautiful shots.
active lighthouse
In principle, I do not see much point in describing all the attractions of the park within the framework of this article - it will not be interesting to watch. I can only say that we really wanted to find a large theater, which is indicated on the map under the number 5 - apparently it was not spared by the earthquake at all, and we also hardly found the Basilica of Chrysopolitissa and the Church of St. can often be found on various souvenirs of Paphos).
Below are a few more photos from the archaeological park and move on.
Castle "Forty Columns"
The archaeological park borders on the sea, but you can’t enter the park from the sea, there is a high fence everywhere. There is only one entrance and exit in the park (from the house in the photo above)
Odeon
Catacombs of St. Lambrianos (if you like to climb in such places, we advise you to visit the Tombs of the Kings, we will talk about them below).
In the catacombs inside
If you leave the park and walk along the path from the sea leading up towards a large shopping center, you can visit the Solomon catacombs.
To get your bearings, you need to walk past a large parking lot, past the Kato Paphos bus station, then turn left and walk two hundred meters along the roadway along the sidewalk.
The history of this place is sad: the catacombs got their name in honor of the great martyr Solomon, whose relics are still kept in one of the grottoes of the hill. According to legend, Solomonia fled from Palestine with her sons and hid in these parts. But they were found, their sons were killed, and Solomonia lived for some time, spending all her time in prayer over the bodies of her children.
In principle, there is nothing particularly interesting there, and in some places in the catacombs they even arranged a “spontaneous” public toilet, but there is some kind of prayer room with an Orthodox iconostasis. Near the entrance to the catacombs, a tree of desires grows. You can tie a piece of fabric on it and make a wish related to health.
Cost: Entrance to the catacombs is free.

Ropes are hung everywhere, even on the fence, ceiling and walls of the catacombs
Despite the apparent abandonment of this attraction, in some places there are bins from which garbage is regularly taken out. So it’s still a little, but they are watching.
In November 2017, a rope installation was installed in the catacombs.
The first time we visited this attraction under cover of night, we walked along the route from our apartments to the supermarket. At night, without a lantern, it is better not to climb there, but with a lantern it is quite comfortable to go.

Tombs of the Kings
For some reason, this attraction is called the Tombs of Kings or Tsars, although there were no kings / kings there at all. Wealthy townspeople were simply buried there ... here is such a “ruble”, only for dead Cypriots.
This attraction is located 3 km from the center of Paphos, there is free large parking. It's more convenient to get there by car.
There are several tombs in the complex. All of them are underground and carved into the rock, which by this very fact makes them elite. Well, the beautiful interior decoration, of course, betrays that not ordinary people are buried here.
But, despite the fact that the buildings are all underground - do not flatter yourself, you can only move between them along the top, so if the day is infernal heat, you will have to move between the tombs in small dashes, because. nothing higher than grass grows on the territory of the complex. And the area is a good size.
Unlike the houses in the Archaeological Park, the graves are romantically named by serial numbers.
Entrance fee: 2.5 euros
Entrance to the necropolis
We came here just after the rain so some of the tombs were flooded
Territory of the necropolis
Too many tombs
Unlike the archaeological park, from the royal tombs you can go to the sea and neighboring wild beaches
turtle beach
Wild beach, which is called so because of the fact that turtles lay their eggs there. Moreover, this beach is also a nature reserve, because. in addition to turtles, state-protected crabs live here.
According to some reports, turtles were last seen here quite a long time ago. You can determine if there are masonry by the presence of white metal structures that mark the masonry and protect it from tourists.
The road to the beach is unpaved, strewn with rubble and rather bumpy, but you can drive slowly, and not necessarily on an SUV - we drove in our rented mini car.
Road to turtle beach
The color of the sand here is more reddish with a red tint.
Next to the turtle beach is another attraction - Avakas Gorge.
Avakas Gorge
If you are going to Turtle Beach, we also recommend visiting the Avakas Gorge. The only thing is that a streamlet flows along the gorge, which, nevertheless, can be fraught with a very serious danger if it starts to rain. Therefore, it is recommended to visit the gorge in dry sunny weather.
For about 3 kilometers, the gorge can be passed quite comfortably. You can go further, but this is already an amateur, because. further on, the trail becomes quite wild.
The famous hanging stone in the gorge
The gorge is one of the official sights, therefore it is maintained in proper condition, but remember about the weather conditions - the mountains do not forgive mistakes.
Baths of Aphrodite and Botanical Garden
This is a very beautiful place, to which a good smooth road leads, there is a good parking lot, a cafe and a beach nearby. Entrance to the botanical garden is free. We were not very lucky, because. while we were parking, a bus arrived with German pensioners who also wanted to see the baths of Aphrodite. Of course, we overtook this organized crowd along a narrow path, because their cruising speed did not exceed 3 km / h, but we didn’t have time to take a lot of pictures, so we went for a walk in the botanical garden, and then returned again.
In the botanical garden there is something like a Nature Path, although it looks more like a good health path. It consists of ascents and descents along a rocky path, so slippers and slates are not particularly comfortable, but if you bring sneakers with you, then it will be the very thing.
The views from the top are simply incredible. The whole Polis (Paphos area) is in full view!
The bath itself is a small lake hidden in the shade of green spaces. Its water is very cold. That's probably why he's young. It is impossible to drink this water, about which there is a corresponding warning.
It makes sense to go there early in the morning, while it is not too hot, and on the way back you can stop by very beautiful sandy beaches and swim. We were deprived of this opportunity in November, the sea was very cold, so we just stopped by for a walk and take pictures.
Entry fee: free.

View of Paphos
Statue of a boy with a fish
The statue is located on the central promenade of Paphos. This statue symbolizes the marine industry of Cyprus, which is the main industry and blah blah blah, or maybe it’s a statue of a boy who was saved by a fish ... or he saved a fish ... In general, I think the guides will come up with some kind of legend for this statue, but for now this just a statue that means nothing.
Although, there are some scuffs on it, so perhaps they have already come up with something. This is something like how in Moscow at the metro station Ploshchad Revolyutsii, statues are installed, with which people rub their noses together, who has an egg (chicken), who has a gun - everything has its own sign. Or maybe in the case of a boy, sea water polished or tourists touched in search of a memorable shot. :))
We are waiting for your comments on this attraction in the comments!
Bath of Adonis
This is a rather beautiful museum, organized in a picturesque corner of Cyprus. Yes, this is a remake, albeit a very high-quality remake. You need to go to the bathhouse by car, or as part of an excursion by bus. Even at the entrances to the bath you will see Aphrodite, and at the entrance you will be met by Zeus in person. Statue, of course. There will also be a small cafe where you can have a bite to eat or just drink coffee from the road.
Unlike the baths of Aphrodite, you can definitely swim here.
The place is beautiful, but there are two fly in the ointment - it is a very bad, long, but passable dirt road, even for small cars, and a rather high price for entry (more on that below).
Cost: Entrance to the park costs 9 euros per person.
Entrance to the bath
Keep in mind that the statues in the park are quite revealing, so think thrice before taking your kids with you.
Zoo
This attraction is known as "Park of birds and animals". Because that's what it used to be called. Founded by Christos Christopher originally as a private collection of birds. But literally 18 years ago - in 2000, he thought about whether to open a bird park and it became so, after only three years. In the process, some more living creatures began to appear in this park, so the park began to be called the Park of Birds and Animals. Now it's a zoo. Official and largest on the island of Cyprus. The entrance price to it, however, is also the largest. True, it includes a bird show, which takes place according to the following schedule:
- From November to March = 12:00, 14:00, 16:00
- From April - October (except August) = 12:00, 14:30, 17:00.
- In August = 12:00, 14:30, 18:00.
Entrance fee: 16.50 euros for an adult and 8.50 euros for a child ticket.
In our opinion, it's too expensive.

Aquapark
Aphrodite Water Park is the third largest water park, where as many as 23 attractions fit in a small area (only 35,000 square meters).
It is interesting that 15 of them are quite extreme and it is especially pleasant that in this water park, even during the season, there are no abnormal queues. So lovers of water entertainment should definitely visit this water park.
Well, it belongs to the category of attractions, because. named, like many things in Cyprus, in honor of the goddess Aphrodite.
Cost: 30 euros for an adult (47 for a two-day pass) and 17 euros for a child ticket for a child from three to twelve years old (28 euros for a two-day pass).
Beach with Aphrodite's rock
This is one of the tourist attractions, covered with legends. One of the legends says that it was here that the goddess of love and beauty Aphrodite emerged from the sea foam. And the stone of Aphrodite, also called the rock of Aphrodite, is the stone with which the enemy ship was sunk ... And it was thrown by the mighty Byzantine warrior Digenis Akritus.
According to legend, if you swim and touch this stone, you can be greatly rejuvenated. The place is beautiful and picturesque, but the water is very cold, so legends are legends, but common sense should be above all. If you are not confident in your abilities, it is better not to go for a swim, because. if you cramp your leg in cold water, there may be eternal memory instead of eternal youth.
By the way, the island of Cyprus itself is named after Aphrodite, one of whose names was Cyprida.
