What to do and see in Paphos, Paphos District: The Best Hidden Gems Things to do

June 19, 2021 Marianna Hollaway

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.

Visited on the recommendation of other Tripadvisor reviews and wasn't disappointed! Huge menu of interesting and unusual beers and ciders (many of them homemade!), spent a few evenings here trying out different beers - owner and bar staff very knowledgeable about all of their stock and happy to make recommendations to suit your palate. Well worth a visit when in Paphos if you enjoy your beers, and looking forward to going back next year :-)

This workshop was an absolute gem with a beautiful view out to the sea! George was a brilliant teacher, working with two complete beginners he made us feel really confident and we had so much fun moulding the clay. Would really recommend as a way to do something different on your holiday to Paphos. A really memorable experience. George went out of his way to drop us to our hotel when the taxi cancelled, went above and beyond!

Lockdown Paphos

The first escape games in Paphos. Highly original room storylines. Now with five rooms across our two sites. Currently operating online games only.

Reviewed By PrincessR0412

Myself and my partner visited lockdown this past week while on holiday, and we were very impressed! The rooms were great, (we consider ourselves veterens at 30+ rooms), very well themed with some great puzzles. We originally booked the Tomb room and enjoyed ourselves so much that we then poked the wizard room and the space station for subsequent evenings! I also would like to personally thank lovely staff member Hanne! She oversaw all three of the games we played and built up a great rapport with us. She is professional, friendly and an absolute credit to the business. Please pop in and play if you have the time! :)
