Kato Paphos

Kato Paphos.  The Paphos Castle is located at the Kato Paphos harbour. It was originally a Byzantine fort, but was modernized by the Lusignans. Though the Venetians destroyed it in 1570, the Ottoman's expanded, reinforced and restored the castle to its old glory. Built of strong and large stones, the castle is connected to the harbour via an arched bridge. There are very few windows but the view from the top of castle is superb. The fort is noted in the UNESCO list of world heritage sites and is fully protected.

The harbour area is lined with cafes and restaurants, where you can sit relax people watch, have a drink or meal and watch the boats come in and out with the view of the castle. You can walk further along to find more shops, cafes, bars and ice cream parlours.  The Bus station is also situated in the Harbour, where we can catch a bus to wide number of places and attractions all over the island.
