10 Churches & Cathedrals in Paphos That You Shouldn't Miss

April 11, 2022 Harland Bartelt

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.

Church of Agia Kyriaki and post St. Paul

Reviewed By Pigman58 - Paphos, Cyprus

Although not on the scale of the Archaeological Park, this site is well worth a visit. It is the site of a 6th century church, plus a later church built over that, a 16th century church built over both, and the remains of a medieval Catholic church. Obviously, it is hard to fully envision what the site originally looked like, but the descriptive panels are good and there are some beautiful 6th century mosaics to be seen. The 16th century church of Agia Kyriaki, now shared by the local Anglican and Roman Catholic communities, is a simple Orthodox church, which nonetheless subtly reflects the denominations who now use it. Overall, well worth a visit.
