Paphos embankment walking is miniature, everywhere you will find a stall with local goods, whether it offers sweets or souvenirs. Markets alternate with restaurants. The city embankment is not big, but the walking path continues further for 12 kilometers along the sea and all the hotels.
1:03 Paphos Archaeological Park represents remains of ancient city of Neo-Paphos founded by the Ancient Greeks. The city was entirely destroyed by earthquakes in the 4th century AD. Particularly valuable are the well-preserved mosaics of the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. They are in the house of Dionysus, which belonged to a wealthy Roman citizen and in the house of a Roman proconsul. Also in the park is a fortress of the Crusaders Saranta Kolones.
2:57 Blue Lagoone in resort village of Latchi, from which sea cruises depart to the Blue Lagoon of the Akamas Nature Reserve Park.
4:21 St. Paul’s Pillar is at the church of Ayia Kyriaki Chrysopolitissa. An ancient Roman forum was situated there, the ruins of which can be seen around the church. In 45 AD Apostle Paul visited Paphos and read his sermons here in this forum, for which he was seized by the Roman authorities and scourged at one of the marble columns.
5:46 Avakas Gorge Nature Trail is, perhaps, one of the most amazing hiking trails in Cyprus. You walk along an open picturesque path, and then you enter a narrow rocky canyon, which was formed by a mountain river over millions of years.
7:02 Tombs of the Kings is a large necropolis 2 kilometers from Paphos. The name derives from the splendor and decoration of the tombs, as there are in fact no kings buried in them. From the 4th century BC to the 3rd century AD, the crypts of the local aristocracy and high officials of ancient Paphos were located here.
Underground tombs were carved directly into the rock. Some of them imitate an ordinary house, while others are more like small palaces with their columned halls, frescoes and courtyards.
8:34 Shipwrecks: Edro III and Demetrios II. In December 2011, Edro III left Limassol in bad weather and headed for Rhodes with a load of drywall. At nightfall, strong winds and rough seas knocked the ship off its course. The vessel ran into underwater reefs 10 miles away from the coast, the engine failed and the cargo ship became uncontrollable. Edro III drifted like this all night, until, she was thrown onto the rocks in Paphos. Edro III will forever lie here, attracting tourists to the nearby Oniro By The Sea cafe.
10:38 Demetrios II ship was sailing with a cargo of timber from Greece to Syria. During heavy seas, the vessel ran aground 1 km away from the coast, where she has been to this day since 1998.
11:21 Aphrodite's Birthplace. Aphrodite was born from the waves and foam of the sea beating against this rock. In ancient times, the main center of worship of Aphrodite was in Paphos. Later, the Romans also called her Venus. According to another version, Aphrodite was born near Kithira island, when the god Uranus was cut by his son Kronos. The body of Uranus fell into the sea and the water began to foam. Suddenly, the most beautiful maiden came up from the foam and appeared on the surface.
The present name of Aphrodite’s rock is Petra tou Romiou, which means Rock of the Romans. It refers to the legend of a hero of the Eastern Roman Empire Digenes Akritas. Digenes threw down a huge stone in the direction of the Saracens invading the island. Therefore, another large rock is called the Saracen Rock.
13:17 Sea You Beach Bar is located a bit to the south of Coral Bay.
14:19 Agios Neophytos Monastery was founded in 1159 by the monk Neophyte the Recluse. When St Neophyte was returning from a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, he went to the deserted mountains near Paphos, where he settled in a small cave. He made a cell with a grave prepared for himself, and near the exit he placed an altar from a marble slab for worship. The cave is called Engleistra, which translates as a place of seclusion. Among the sights, there also are frescoes painted on the walls of the cave during the life of St Neophyte.
