Cyprus is the third biggest island in the Mediterranean and is a hugely popular destination for holiday makers, attracting over 2 million visitors every year. Cyprus possesses a unique culture and a fascinating history having been occupied by Roman, Greek and Turkish empires. Paphos, the former capital of the island, is one of Cyprus’ more upmarket resorts

and is ideal for Cyprus holidays makers looking for a fun but relaxing break.

Paphos consists of two areas, Kato Paphos and Pano Paphos. Kato Paphos is the more modern coastal resort area while Pano Paphos is the town itself and is slightly inland.

Paphos boasts some superb beaches with Coral Bay being one of the most popular with tourists and locals alike, offering a long sandy beach and a relaxed family atmosphere with safe swimming and watersports. Latchi Beach has deep waters making it an ideal spot for swimming, scuba diving and watersports. Paphos holiday makers may also be interested in visiting Lara Bay, a remote area with an excellent beach, some beautiful scenery and a turtle hatchery where loggerhead and greenback turtles lay their eggs. This is one of the few places in the Mediterranean that they can still be found.

The resort is rich in history and as such offers several interesting sightseeing opportunities. The Tomb of the Kings is a series of underground tombs carved out of solid rock. The tombs are thought to have been the burial sites for high officials and aristocrats and many of the tombs date back to the 4th century.

Paphos is also supposedly the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, and the baths of Aphrodite on the west of the island is where legend claims the goddess bathed. The bath is a natural waterfall and the trail around the area offers a splendid walk.

Fans of Archaeology will enjoy the remarkable mosaics in the House of Dionysos. The House of Dionysos was built by a wealthy merchant in the second or third century and the intricate mosaics sat undiscovered beneath the soil for 16 centuries before being discovered and excavated in 1962.

Shopping in Paphos is popular with tourists where amongst goods from some familiar stores, holiday makers can purchase items such as leather goods, ceramics and embroidered lace at much lower prices than could be found in the UK. Also spectacles are very good value in Paphos and many tourists choose to get their eyes tested and purchase their glasses at one of the many opticians to save money.

There is a wide choice of international and mezze restaurants along the beach promenade and near the harbour in Paphos. Mezze is a traditional Cypriot meal consisting of a large number of hot and cold dishes such as meats, vegetables, fish dishes and salads. The majority of restaurants are similarly priced and good value for money. The nightlife in Paphos is mostly found on one street named Agiou Antoniou (also known locally as bar street or nightlife street). Along this street tourists will find various bars and clubs including the Outback sports and karaoke bar, Woody’z bar and the Starsky and Hutch seventies disco.

The capital of Cyprus used to be in Paphos until the enlargement of other cities on the Island. Paphos has continued to have its share of the developments in Cyprus, and thus an International Airport was erected to turn the small region into a tourism hub.

Paphos has a population of less than 100,000; but its collection of Antiquities as well as historical places has caused it to become a bustling region in Cyprus.

Paphos is divided into two main regions, the residential district of Ktima and the Kato region which consist of the seaside and the medieval ports. The Kato Paphos region is where the hotels and most of the other tourist destinations are situated.

The best time to travel to Paphos is the summer time; as this ensures that you take the advantage of the weather and the beaches. The hottest month in Paphos is August when the temperature can be more than 35 degrees, and the humidity is very low along with the water relatively warm all throughout the day.

The winter months are usually rainy. December and January are the coldest winter months in Paphos. The summer time is the busiest season in Paphos, because of the relatively high inflow of tourists from all over the world. The spring and early fall seasons are also some of the best times to visit Paphos.

The Paphos international airport is the main route if you wish to get to the region. Cyprus airways and Air Holland are some of the few airlines that fly the route. Travelers coming from major European countries will have to have a stop over before boarding a flight to Paphos international Airport.

Travelling to Paphos by boat is not allowed, as there are no legal ports in the region to transport international travelers. Travelling by bus can only start after reaching the airport, while renting a car is the most viable option from the Airport. There are several hotels and accommodation options available in Paphos.

Booking a car rental Paphos service is very easy. You can make reservations with a trusted rental company, which would be on a stand-by at the airport for your arrival. Cars should be rented at no extra costs, and the rental company should contain fleet of cars that you can choose from to satisfy your needs.

Most of these are visible right from departure from the Paphos international airport. While driving through the seaside, one can also see a collection of different hotels of low/medium class as well as more classy ones.

One should know that car rental Paphos services are not standardized; hence prices may vary from a company to another. You will need to find out the average costs of the entire car rentals company available and with this you will know the actual amount of money that you will pay. Car rental Paphos services include your direct transportation from the airport to some tourist attraction sites.

The rental company can supply you with information on where exactly you are going to and how you can enjoy the best of your stay within such sites. You can feel free to ask questions about the city of Paphos from owners of the car rental company. They should be willing to give you rules and guidelines that tourists

Paphos in Cyprus is one of the few tourist areas on the Island that remains open throughout the winter months of the year. It may have something to do with all the places of interest that are either close to Paphos town or within easy rich by coach tour. The Troodas mountains for instance are only about an hour away from the resort. Paphos is also connected to all the other main Cyprus coastal resorts and the capitol Nicosia by a modern motorway network. This may explain why Paphos has seen so much growth over the past few years both in terms of tourism and as a thriving town. There is also little doubt that development will continue at a pace for quite some time to come not just in the town itself but all over the Paphos area.

Visitors are drawn back to Paphos in Cyprus year after year despite the resort having no actual beach. There are some beautiful beaches further along the coast at Coral Bay but apart from some shale Paphos itself has no beach. The resort area is based around the pretty harbor with it’s water front cafe bars and trendy restaurants where you can relax with a drink looking out over the Beautiful Mediterranean Ocean. At the edge of the harbor is a small medieval fort and its well worth the climb to take in the view from the top of the tower. Within a short walk of Paphos lighthouse is the ancient Roman amphitheatre that has been restored and now plays host to summer concerts. Imagine sitting there on a warm summers evening in the exact spot where crowds watched gladiators fight to the death.

Further up the hill are the excavated remains of several villas including the house of Dionysus with their incredible mosaic floors that have survived for around 2000 years. Also of interest and within a couple of miles of Paphos harbor are the tombs of the kings. A burial ground carved out of the bedrock and dating back to around the fourth century B.C. There were never any actual kings buried there but they earned the name tombs of the kings because they were considered fit for the purpose. Visitors to the site are free to go into the tombs (they are vacant) and explore as they wish. Closer back towards the town center in a fenced in area on Apostolou Pavlou Avenue (St Pauls Avenue) is the actual pillar where the apostle Paul received 39 lashes for preaching the gospel. Once they had flogged him however the governor was converted to Christianity and Cyprus became the first Christian state in the world.

If you are looking for great food and a lively night out Paphos can offer you both in equal quantities. There is a road that runs parallel to the main street called “bar street” and it is aptly named. There are some great restaurants there offering cuisine for every taste including some fabulous flambe houses where your meat is cooked right at your table. How’s that for fresh cooked food? Once you have eaten your fill there are plenty of trendy bars for a nice relaxing drink or even a few late night clubs if that’s what floats your boat. The shops stay open late too so you could even squeeze in a little retail therapy whilst walking off your dinner. Cyprus enjoys over 320 days of beautiful sunshine every year so you may want to turn in early and recharge your batteries for another hard days sun bathing.

With so much to offer the discerning holiday maker it is no great surprise that people return to Paphos over again. The other great thing about Paphos is golf. In fact Paphos is the golfing centre of Cyprus boasting no less than three excellent clubs and several top notch hotels right on the courses too. With the beautiful Cyprus climate Paphos is a golfers dream come true in more ways than one. No need to worry about the weather ruining your game and you can walk straight out of your hotel onto the green. If you have never been on holiday to the Island before perhaps you should take a look at Paphos Cyprus.

Kev Moore asked:


Paphos town lies at the heart of the Paphos area which is one of the largest municipalities on the West Coast of Cyprus. The town is in fact two towns the old and the new. Lower or Kato Paphos as it is also known nestles against the coast and makes up the greater part of the holiday resort. Most of the resorts bars and restaurants are located around this area of Paphos on either bar street or along the harbor front. The more lively sector is definitely up on bar street which runs parallel to the main street. Apart from the many bars there are some great restaurants serving a wide range of international cusine. The harbor is however the center of cafe life in Paphos with its trendy bars and restaurants where you can relax taking in the magnificent view out over the Mediterranean.

Kato Paphos has plenty to offer culture vultures too. The restored Roman Odeon now plays host to summer concerts and stage productions right were gladiators would have once been locked in mortal combat. A short walk from the harbor are the beautiful ancient mosaic floors of the house of Dionysos which cover most of the excavated rooms. Also near Paphos harbor is the site of the ancient fort of Saranta Kolones built where an original Byzantine castle once stood. Unfortunately even this later structure was destroyed by an earthquake in 1222. At the end of the harbor itself stands Paphos castle again originally built by the Byzantines, rebuilt by the Lusignans in the 13th century only to be dismantled by the Venetians in 1570. They found themselves unable to defend it against the Ottomans who in turn rebuilt it as it stands to this day.

Whilst your visiting ancient sites around Kato Paphos it’s worth a walk up the hill to the church of Panayia Chryasopolitssa which is built upon the site of the largest early Byzantine Basilica in Cyprus. Next to the church is a fenced in area with several stone pillars one of which is reputed to be the pillar of Saint Paul the Apostle of Jesus. Here is where Paul received 39 lashes for preaching the gospel in Cyprus. Shortly afterwards the Roman governor of Paphos was converted to Christianity which led to Cyprus becoming the first Christian state in the world.

A few miles from Paphos harbor is the ancient site of the tombs of the kings. The tombs are cut out of the bed rock and many are decorated with doric colums also cut from the rock. Despite its name no kings were actually interned at the site but it earned its title because it was considered fit for a kings burial. The theory is that several local Nobelmen or important dignitaries were lain to rest there. You don’t have to look far around the Paphos area to find places of historic interest and some of them date back even before Roman times. Then of course there’s all that Greek mythology which Cyprus plays an important part in. The Island is reputed to be where Aphrodite the Goddess of love and sexual rapture landed after her birth from the sea foam. We won’t go into all the gory details of how she was formed but it involved a certain amount of castration by some god or another. Anyway, the rock of Aphrodite is situated a few kilometers outside paphos and you can view it from a cliff top restaurant.

The beauty of Paphos from a Cyprus holidaymakers point of view is it’s close proximity to the airport and the main coastal motorway. Access to the rest of the Island including the capital Nicosia is real easy either by coach or with a hire car. With so much to see and do you will never cram it all into one holiday which explains why people return to Paphos year after year. There is little doubt that this lovely Cyprus resort with its many historic buildings will remain unspoiled for a long time to come. Perhaps this blend of old and new is part of its appeal but you will never know until you visit Paphos Cyprus yourself.

Cyprus property is booming right now and Paphos real estate in particular is showing some great returns on investment. Buyers are virtually lining up to grab a piece of the action. This is of course pushing prices up even higher and Paphos real estate is amongst some of the most expensive in Cyprus. That said, there are still some great deals to be found particularly in regards to some of the new off plan apartment developments. As the prices in the area have risen luxury villas have slipped beyond the reach of the average holiday home buyer. This type of Paphos real estate is fast becoming the domain of the big investors who are buying them with the sole intention of renting them out to holiday makers. This Cyprus holiday rental market has seen some impressive growth over the last few years and looks set to expand even further.

Anyone looking to invest some money in Paphos real estate has the opportunity to profit from this lucrative source of income. Holiday makers to Cyprus or anywhere else for that matter are changing their booking habits. Instead of relying on the travel agents to arrange a traditional package tour they are instead making their own arrangements. Thanks to the incredible growth of on line booking facilities the internet has leveled the playing field and customers can now compare prices at the click of the mouse. It is now real easy to book separate flights, accommodation and vehicle hire. You may be wondering what any of this has to do with Paphos real estate and holiday rentals, so read on. These folks booking online are tapping into the growing villa and luxury apartment rental market. This is good news for prospective buyers of Paphos real estate looking to make a return on their investment. In fact some owners are managing to virtually self finance their Cyprus properties.

For the smaller investor looking to eventually turn there Paphos real estate into a holiday home of their own its good news too. Many buyers are getting in early before even apartments in Paphos are priced beyond their reach and buying now. Even though they were not planning to buy that place in the sun for another few years by moving now they have made huge future savings. Not ony have they bought before any further price hikes but they will be financing most of the project through holiday rentals. The chances are that by the time they are ready to retire in the Cyprus sun their investment will have been brought and paid for by holiday makers. It really is a win win situation for all concerned and all the time they can sit back watching their investment grow.

There are some losers however in this growing private rental market and they are the traditional holiday apartment complex owners. In fact even some Cyprus hotels are reporting a downturn in bookings over the last few years. The fear among many holiday apartment owners is that as new development continues and more people book private apartments they will continue to suffer. Whilst this may be true many of these businesses are adopting the “if you can’t beat them join them” approach. They are buying themselves into the Paphos real estate market and refurbishing whole apartment complexes into resale luxury condos. This is brilliant accommodation for the Cyprus holiday rental market complete with a reception area and communal pool its perfect to rent.

So in the end even the losers can be winners in Paphos real estate.

Wherever there’s golf and sun there is also money in property. Perhaps that’s why Larnaca in Cyprus is causing a stir amongst property speculators and holiday home investors alike. A new golf resort in the Larnaca area of Cyprus has been extensively talked about over the last few years. These ambitious proposals also include the building of a new super marina suitable for luxury yachts and a whole host of associated development. As the countries economy continues to grow investors are enjoying a new confidence in Cyprus with some grand projects already under their belts. The Islands capital Nicosia continues to develop at a rapid pace and the recent building of it’s first shopping mall including the Ikea store bears testament to investor confidence in the Island. In fact the climate now appears ideal for further bold investment.

The influx of foreign money generated by the Cyprus property boom has been a major contributing factor to this optimistic view for sure. However this new wealth has created a large amount of disposable income and those that have it are looking for places to spend it.This has created the demand for European shopping centers like the Cyprus mall and improved leisure facilities such as golf. Some observers are predicting the building of more shopping centers in the principle towns and further investment in golf property. Larnaca therefore would look set as the ideal location for both. It’s close proximity to the Islands principle airport coupled with ease of access to the rest of Cyprus strengthens this argument even further.

Larnaca property is not the most expensive in Cyprus right now but of course all that could change very quickly. Once golf arrives in an area prices tend to increase rather quickly and tardy investors often find themselves left behind. The trick is to pre empt the market and buy property before any plans for leisure complexes or major infrastructure changes are rubber stamped by the planing authorities. This is of course a highly risky business but that’s why so much profit is made from such speculation by savvy investors. Even those looking to buy a holiday home for themselves could edge their investment bets by purchasing in Larnaca as apposed to other parts of Cyprus. The resort area of the town is after all a beautiful location for that dream home in the sun.

Anyone who has visited Cyprus a few times in recent years can see just how fast the Island is developing not just in terms of residential building work either. Many of the larger chain stores are opening outlets and foreign investment continues to pour in. The new generation of Cypriots have seen what the rest of Europe enjoys and they want a piece of it for themselves. The battered pick up trucks are giving way to the likes of Mercedes and BMW whilst the marinas are filling up with luxury power boats. There is new money in Cyprus which in turn is attracting plenty more of the same. Larnaca and other resorts in Cyprus could be perched on the crest of a second much larger investment wave.

No one can accurately predict how the economy will perform in the future but leisure and property have always yielded long term sustainable growth. Larnaca could soon be at the center of one of the most lucrative phases of the Islands recent history with the heady mix of golf, sun and holiday property. So if you are looking for that dream home in the Cyprus sun it may be that Larnaca property is just what you are looking for. The other positive factor of the golf equation is that it could turn a summer only holiday resort into an all year golfing centre. This would likely have the knock on effect of putting the town on the map as the East coast’s all year resort just as golf did in the paphos area. Maybe it’s time to consider making your investment in Cyprus Larnaca property.

Paphos in Cyprus still remains the number one resort on the Islands West coast and this of course has done wonders for property values in the area. There is however still lots of room for even more growth in this lucrative Cyprus property market. Bargain Cyprus properties can still be located all over the Paphos area by those astute investors or holiday home buyers who know where to find them. The prospect of finding good deals on Paphos property substantially increases when prospective buyers open up their options to include resale properties too. The development of property in the Paphos area has been expanding for several years now and many of the older builds are now finding their way onto the Cyprus resale property market.

It’s not just older properties either that are sold under the banner of “resales” because there are large numbers of virtually new built Paphos villas and apartments being sold as resales too. These will usually be in the form of property that was originally purchased “off plan” by speculators with the intention of selling at a profit on completion of the development. Whilst the owners are awaiting a sale they may have been rented either to the lucrative Cyprus holiday rental market or to short term tennants. Many such lets would be to people wishing to live in the Paphos area whilst they await completion of their own new build Paphos properties.

There is even a good chance that your resale Paphos property may never have been lived in at all. Speculators and investors will be advertising these villas or apartments for sale as soon as they are nearing completion and they need to sell to reinvest the capital in the next development. Often as not these properties will have one or two “sweeteners” included in the deal such as fully equipped kitchens complete with all the white goods or maybe even air conditioning thrown in too. Don’t get the wrong idea though these hard nosed Paphos property investors are in it for the money so they may be hard to crack. The bottom line is however that they make money from money so in many ways they could be seen as motivated sellers.

As the old saying goes “money talks” and buyers that have their finances lined up ready are always going to be in a good position to drive a bargain. Property in Cyprus is not immune to this golden rule and particularly in a thriving area such as Paphos so like the boy scouts it pays to be prepared. Unless you have been marooned on some desert Island for the last 50 years you will know that there is big money in property so these sellers do have room to manoeuvre. If you can’t get the deal you want (within reason) move on to another property. Don’t allow yourself to be blackmailed with the usual lines like “this is the last one” the price is going up next week” or any of the other hard sell patter that will most likely be headed your way.

There is always another Paphos property to buy, in fact new villas and apartments are coming onto the Cyprus property market on an almost daily basis. The very fact that all this development continues at such a pace almost guarantees buyers a good deal because the Paphos property developers and speculators have got to sell somewhere. There is little doubt that prices in Paphos and the surrounding area will continue to rise steadily for some time to come so buyers wishing to cash in should move soon. Paphos villas and apartments are ideal for the small investor or private buyer due to their ease of rental especially to the booming holiday market. If you are considering purchasing property in Cyprus Paphos may be a great place to look.

Cyprus is the perfect Mediterranean Island paradise and boast some beautiful coastal resorts especially along the Western coast. Most of the Island has seen some major development over the last few years and this in turn has led to the creation of a very lucrative rental market. Holiday villas in Paphos are only one example of the huge increase in this type of letting to tourist. With so much new property in Cyprus it is now becoming the norm to rent an apartment or house in favor of the traditional hotel package tour. In fact thanks to the growth in internet bookings people are opting to create their own holiday pakages from the bottom up with separate flights, accommodation and car hire.

Villas in Paphos Cyprus may be getting more expensive to purchase but there is an eager market waiting to rent them. Medium sized houses and villas make the best investment because the cost of renting can be split between a larger group. Multiple bathrooms or seperate ensuite facilities are a must too for multiple occupancy if owners are hoping to get repeat business. There is nothing worse than eight people fighting over one bath room and a downstairs loo every morning especially if you have teenagers in tow. A pool is probably another prerequisite for rentals even if the property is near the coast. People searching for holiday villas in Paphos and elsewhere in Cyprus are looking for a luxury holiday and that includes their own private swimming pool.

In an effort to secure that dream holiday home in Cyprus many buyers are now able to buy early before prices rise and its thanks to this booming rental market. Some astute investors are even self financing their holiday villas in Paphos by letting them out to tourist. The great thing about Paphos is that it is now recognized as an all year resort. This is the best news any property owner could wish to hear. Although rentals will be markedly cheaper during the short Cyprus winter they are still much more profitable than long term lets on the domestic market. The problem with long term rental stems from the low average wage on the Island which tends to self regulate rental values. Of course those renting out holiday villas in Paphos and other parts of the Island will be unaffected by this restraint. As way of an example a typical property that lets long term on the home market may realize cyp500. monthly whilst holiday rentals on the same unit could exceed cyp800 per week!

Even withstanding seasonal variations the renting of holiday villas in Paphos Cyprus makes a great financial argument. Those buyers that make the move now stand a good chance of having their dream home in the sun brougth and paid for by the time they are ready to retire in Cyprus. With its superb Mediterranean climate and over 320 days of glorious sunshine every single year this beautiful Island paradise is sure to keep on attracting those eager rental customers year after year. It could be argued that holiday property makes the perfect investment because all you need to do is sit back, collect the rent and look forward to all those carefree years in the Cyprus sun. All the while not only could the property actually pay for itself but the value should steadily increase over time too. Plenty of good reasons then why investors and private buyers should consider the benefits of owning holiday villas in Paphos Cyprus.

Cyprus holiday homes are still selling like hot cakes and Paphos property is one of the top choices for many investors. The attraction with Paphos is that its the only all year resort on the West coast of Cyprus and many of the businesses remain open throughout the winter months. This is great news for those astute enough to invest in Paphos property because they are able to take full advantage of the Islands holiday rental market. Holiday rentals in and around the Paphos area are in fact making some of the best returns on investment ever. Thanks to this lucrative letting market many buyers are even finding themselves able to fully fund their investment just by renting. Even long term rentals are commanding higher returns than elswhere in Cyprus also due to the resorts all year status.

As with other parts of Cyprus Paphos is in the midst of a property boom with new developments springing up all over the area. All types of property are available from one bedroom apartments to luxury sea front villas with private pools.The fastest moving market are the two bedroom apartments built in complexes with a communal pool area. Prices for this type of Paphos property vary greatly depending on the location of the development. The rule of thumb being that the nearer the sea the more you should expect to pay for any kind of property. A sea view will of course cost you a premium and there are no guarantees that you will get to keep it either. Unlike the U.K. the planning restrictions in Cyprus are a little more lax but the property investors mantra of “location, location, location” still applies.

The higher up your apartment the more you should expect to pay especially for the so called “penthouse” apartments. Having said that, in a three floor block some middle properties are likely to be the least expensive. This is due to some ground floor units having the added benefit of private terraces. If you are considering purchasing a Paphos property with the sole intention of renting it to Cyprus holiday makers there are a few things worth bearing in mind. People are lazy especially when on their holidays so they won’t be coming back next year if the resort is miles away from your house or apartment. Furthermore they aren’t going to bother recommending it to any of their friends either so once again location is a prime factor. People see their holidays as a time to chill out and relax preferably on the beach or by a pool hopefully having the choice of either. Its therefore almost a prerequisite that your Paphos property should have at least a shared pool and sun terrace if you are catering for the Cyprus holiday rental market.

Like anything else in life you only get what you pay for and Paphos property is unlikely to be an exception to the rule. If a deal sounds just too good to be true the chances are it most probably is. Its advisable to do as much research as possible before committing yourself to any binding contract. Whilst most Cyprus property developers and real estate agents operate in a highly professional manner the business has its fair share of shady characters. With such big profits being made by developers and agents there will always be someone looking to make a quick buck without offering a credible service so be on your guard. Again, a little research will take you a long way and could save you a lot of potential hassle further down the road. Once you have found a developer that suits your needs check out some of his recent projects. Not just the price and build quality but knock a few doors as well. Ask owners those awkward questions about after sales service, customer care and snagging. If they are happy the chances are you will have found your perfect Paphos property.
