The 10 Best Points of Interest & Landmarks in Paphos, Paphos District
Paphos, the capital of western Cyprus, has some serious historical clout. Site of the vast fourth-century BC Tombs of the Kings, set high on a cliff above the sparkling sea, as well as a dramatic Byzantine castle and fine mosaics, it's also known as the birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite. The population of 27,000 is swelled by a summer influx of beach-bound English, German and Scandinavian visitors. A beautiful old harbor awaits, while modern hotels and restaurants stretch along the promenade.

This site is right next to the harbour and has a very cheap entry price. The mosaics are everywhere and some you can even walk on as they are mainly outside. Incredible workmanship.

This is another part of the site not to be missed and you can do just that as it's slightly off of the normal pathway but sits just a stones throw from the front entrance to the right. It still has it's castle squareness with many pillars now on the ground, but some still stand along with two arches. You are also able to walk all the way around it so gaining some lovely photos.
8. Monastery of Timios ( Holy Cross Chapel )

Had read about this area, but was not sure how to gain access. Found the way more by good luck than good judgement. You have to get behind the road where the Handkerchief Tree is and turn left away from the area of Saint Pauls Pillar Go as far as you can towards the end of the houses and the entrance is through a small opening. If you like history it is interesting. Worth the climb up just for the view. Stout shoes are advisable. Not suitable for anyone who is disabled. Enjoyed the walk up. Geoediegir013 Tyneside

Two watermills across from Skarfos bridge; the first is difficult to find as it is overgrown and can be found walking through a field; the main watermill is signposted and you can walk across the top and get a wonderful view. You can walk across the Skarfos bridge, across the field to also get to the watermill.
