4x4 Adventure

Just off the Tomb of the Kings road in Paphos, lies a huge area which dates back to 300 BC here was the last resting place for top officials and members of Paphian aristocracy, each would have been laid in burial niches along with jewellery and other artefacts relating to their life. Tragically, these tombs were looted many many years ago leaving behind only an echoing and very powerful sense of stillness and a certain mystery. The tombs were carved out of solid rock and with frescoed walls, and looming Doric columns line the 100 tombs which have been unearthed. This site is well worth a visit and the best examples can be seen if you visit the atrium area.

Just a brief walk from the harbour, you'll find Agia Kyriaki Chrysopolitissa. The grounds of this ancient church house a pillar with a tale dating back to 45 AD. Paul — yes, that Paul of Biblical fame — was dragged here and received forty lashes as part of his Christian missionary journey with Barnabas. The pillar remains a focal point for pilgrims today. Interestingly, Paul's ordeal had a transformative effect: Lucius Sergius Paulus, the Roman Proconsul of the time, converted to Christianity after meeting him.

The best way to experience the Old Town of Paphos is on foot, where a local market tempts with an array of offerings: think fresh produce, dazzling jewellery, and even high-end fashion. Make sure to swing by a few shops that showcase the area's arts and crafts, rounding out a sensory journey that tantalises all five senses. Immerse yourself in the rich aromas of herbs and spices, and don't miss the chance to sample award-winning wines and regional treats. In this lively quarter, modernity and tradition coalesce. Whether it's the clang from traditional workshops or the enticing aromas from food stalls, the Old Town is as much an experience for the senses as it is a tribute to Paphos's rich history. This is where you'll find locals mingling with tourists — a testament to the area's enduring appeal.
