Top 10 Free Things to do 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.

Family Business with handmade wood creations. The perfect option for personalized gifts and customized wooden signs. We use local timber from Troodos mountains using sustainable methods and eco-friendly materials and paints. Most of the timber is actually trees that were burned during wild fires in the summer. With our art we are giving these woods a second life. Bring your own new idea, and let us create a unique wooden plaque which will decorate your House, Office, Man Cave or She Shed ;-)

10. Church of Agia Kyriaki and post St. Paul
Overall Ratings

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.
