A Stroll to the Castle - The Harbor-side of Paphos

Friday, October 03, 2014
Paphos, Cyprus



The Venetian Castle of Paphos is the landmark of the City .

 
There is no way to visit Paphos and not come to the harbour.

A number of archaeologists have taken an interest in excavating and investigating the castle as it dates back to the Roman era.

The Byzantine fort, was originally built to protect the harbor but was destroyed due of an earthquake in the year 1222.

The Castle was rebuilt by the Lusignans in the 13th century.

These days, it serves as a background for the annual open-air Paphos cultural festival, which takes place in September.


 
 
Harbor-side: 

A delicious meal chosen from a range of local and internationally themed restaurants in a beautiful setting overlooking the harbour and the Venetian fort.

When you have finished, you can walk off any extra calories with a stroll along the promenade sharing the atmosphere with the families and couples enjoying the outdoor way of life.
