Paphos Travel Forum

hi guys,

me and my girlfriend are both 22 and we are stayin in the daphne apartments for 10 nights from 8th july to the 18th july this summer and was wondering if anyone had any reviews on them, etc. we are in a 1 bed apartment and self catering.

there doesn't seem to be many reviews around the web and it isn't even on the list on this website. photos make it look ok, pretty basic but a good location which is all we need really.

also i was wondering how hot it actually gets in paphos as i heard it got up close to 35 celsius but i have read elsewhere that is is more like high 20's.

very much looking forward to what looks like a fab place to go. does anyone also know if the redevelopment of the barbour area is complete yet as i am hoping it is not a building site when we are there.

daphne seems to be a close location to the seafront near the harbour, are the beaches here okay or do you need to travel further such as coral bay?

thanks in advance for any advice.

In July & August the temperature is much more likely to be in the mid 30s than in mid to high 20s.

My wife and I are not beach people but when we were there last year, the central beaches didnt look up to much. There is a small beach behind the large hotels (about 10 mins walk to the left as you look at the harbour) and a larger beach further on that looks loke it is set behind an area of waste ground. Corel Bay seems to be the best choice (or a large beach-front just off the road towards Corel Bay)- also there is a large beach just parallel to the Tombs of the Kings area which is a fair-old walk from Paphos Harbour if you take the coastal path. (lots of weeds colected into piles)

We loved Paphos though - from the hussle-bussle of Bar Street to the peaceful harbour, nice shops, friendly bars.

We went in June last year and hit a freak heat-wave of up to 40-odd degrees! The swimming pool was actually very warm!
