Paphos District Travel Forum

Hi everyone..im going to Paphos at the end of november/first week of december for a week with my boyfriend. We want a quiet relaxing break to recharge our batteries, but im not sure what the weather will be like or whether or not there will be many restaurants or bars open as we are planning to do self catering. can anyone help or suggest a hotel or area. I dont even mind going to another part of Cyprus as we are flying to Larnaca but can easily change our plans. thanks very much...

Where in paphos or any other part of cyprus will I be able to buy a bed mattress topper?

Hi,

My friend is getting married at the Athena Beach Hotel next year and I am wondering if anyone could give me advice on any hotels nearby to this one and of varying buget requirements, quite a few friends are keen to attend the wedding but are lookign for cheaper accomodation. If anyone knows of any could you please let me know and roughly how close they are to the Athena Beach.

I myself will be taking my baby - at the time of the wedding she will be 11 months so need a hotel that caters for children.
Thanks

The address of Paphos bus station is Karavelle, but i cant see it on a map, is it down by the harbour near Posidhonos ?. Also do the minibus taxi express leave from Karavelle ? Hope someone can help . Thanks.

There does not seem to be any buses on a Sunday in Cyprus. My question is are there the Taxi express [ people sharing ] ones ? Thanks.

how an were do you go about booking for a trip on the glas bottom boat an how much was it?

Are there any vinyards in or near Paphos that one can visit?

Any information on location, price, quality would be gratefully received.

If you know of a smaller, less touristy vinyard that opens for tastings, that would be ideal.

Greece or Cyprus in early March? Weather? Ferries?

I am contemplating on Greece or Cyprus for March 2010. I will go to Greece either way, the toss up is whether to spend 3 weeks in Cyprus, and 5 weeks in Greece, or the full 2 months in Greece (and skip Cyprus). My decision lies with which country has the best weather (in early March), and Greek ferry connections in Spring? If I go to Greece for the full 2 months (March, and April), am I going to easily find ferries interconnecting the islands, or do I have to keep backtracking to the mainland?

Also, what's the weather like in Cyprus in early March? How about Greek weather in early March?

I am coming from Lebanon, and Syria (where I will be spending January, and February). From Beirut airport, Olympic airlines flies to Athens for only 100euros (one way), and from Beirut to Cyprus is about 150euros.

If I go to Cyprus first, I will fly to Greece afterwards, with BlueAir (only 44euros from Paphos to Tessaloniki).

Ok guys, I need your help here.
I hear that its expensive to take a taxi from Paphos airport to Paphos.
I nees to go to Akteon Holiday Village and wonder if we could take a bus and if so, wher from exactly and how much would this cost?

Akteon Holiday Village in Paphos

Can anybody tell me what this hotel is really like, what food and staff are like?
We will be staying here in a few weeks from now, end of March 2009 and we are wondering what the surrounding area is like near the hotel. Can anybody recommend a places to visit nearby?

I am attending a wedding in paphos in June, which is to be held at the Annabelle Hotel, Poseidon Ave. I would like to know what apartments are near there that are for rent.
any info would be very helpful.

Hi we are going to paphos on 28th march - we are staying in the Paradise Kings club apartments . Normally we would eat out most of the time but with the current exchange rate- Uk pound etc would it be better to eat in or are the taverners still reasonably priced . Also what price would we pay for basics like milk bread water etc .

Hi,
Is there a dress code for this Disco above?

Or any other or that matter?

Thanks

Hi

I know that Easter is very big in Cyprus. We are going to Paphos this Christmas and wonder how the Cypriots celebrate Christmas,

Hi

We're going to Paphos on Saturday for a week, and can't wait having never been to Cyprus before. We are staying near the Tombs of the Kings, and will probably pnly hire a car for a couple of days as I believe it is walking distance to Paphos from where we are staying. If we do hire a car, I was after some suggestions for where we should go on the Island. We like to go to picturesque places, where we can get something to eat and drink and have a look around (maybe nice villages / small fishing port, or just your normal sights that shouldn't be missed). We are also thinking of hiring bicycles for a couple of days, and was wandering if anyone knew where we could cycle to from where we are staying.

Looking forward to your answers!

Thanks

I am going to Paphos in Sep 09 for a wedding, the wedding party are staying at the Amathus Beach, although this is way out of our budget! our son will be 15 months old by the time we travel and so i'm trying to find a family friendly hotel as near to the Amathus Beach as possible to cut down on travelling. We are also looking for a good deal although i'm willing to search around pricewise. I'm just struggling to find hotels nearby at the minute!!!

Thanks for your help

Hi, my partner and i are moving to cyprus to live next year, was meant to be sooner but good old Credit Crunch put toll to that!!

Hi There

My name is Amy, I am 25 years old and am studying in Cyprus at the start of September for a Semester, on an Exchange program. I come from Australia and none of the other people on the program are coming until just after the Semester starts.

I would love to travel around the Island a bit and check out Paphos, Agia Napa and Larnaca especially. I am based in Nicosia and havent really checked much out yet!!

I was wondering if theres anyone around in the same age bracket that is travelling around on their own? It would be awesome to have a travel companion. Otherwise if anyone has got any tips about good places to go in Cyprus when you're on your own, or how to meet other people my age around here that would be awesome!!!

Thanks heaps. My email is ames004@hotmail.com

Regards, Amy :)

I've just returned from paphos with nine of my friends and we had a really good time, particularly enjoying the night life on bar street. We would like to return this October so I was wondering if anyone knew what the weather was like at that time and, most importantly, if it is still busy with a good night life in October?
Thanks a lot

Can anyone advise if there is a direct bus from Paphos to Nicosia? Links to bus timetables or costs would be appreciated.

Thanks a zillion!

Neil

Me & my boyfriend are off to Paphos in about a weeks time, we're staying in a friend's apartment at Geroskipou/Yeroskipou and I've been looking at the bus timetable and found there is only one bus that goes through there and the route is...

Route: Karavella parking, Market, Gladstonos, Gr. Digeni, Athinon, Arch, Makarios, Yeroskipou

Which would be the best stop to get off at if we wanted to go to the Harbour?

Also does anyone have any reccommendations for restaurants, ones that do salads, chips or pizzas are fine!

Are the taxis fairly reliable, will the come pick you up from most places?

Sorry for all the questions, it's the first time we've been away together on our own and we're a bit nervous! Thanks in advance :)

Hello all,

if I may ask, I would love to visit Cyprus, especially Paphos, or - even better - the near resort Coral Bay. I would like to go there at the beginning of July, but I was unable to find any relatively cheap accommodation there... I would be very grateful, if anybody could give me an advice please. I would like to stay there approximately one week (I want to make nice surprise for my girlfriend, who is working in Coral Bay in one of those hotels during this summer...). Thank you in advance,

Hi we are going to Paphos on 1st june 2008 and wondered what the prices are like? Food in supermarkets, restaurants, beer, petrol and tobacco please. Thanks

Will any other VT members be in Paphos 25th June-2nd July?
What should we not miss?
Any bus info would help us as we hope not to have to drive!

We have booked an apartment in July via a letting agent in the centre of Paphos. Can anyone give me an idea of the cost of a taxi from the aiport? Should we pre book one via the letting agent (they are quoting approx £28 GBP) or should we just get one from outside the airport?

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.

Hi
Will shortly be visiting Paphos, it's been a little while since I've been there so can't remember and would appreciate your help!
Some members of my party can't have cows milk and drink goats milk. I know I'm going to the country of goats and sheep produce BUT can I get goats milk in Woolies or one of the supermarkets there pretty easily? Stupid question, I know, but I've got to check.
Also, can anyone recommend a reputable car hire company there? We also need to hire car seats for infants, or is it advisable to bring our own?
Thanks!!!
