Discover a more personal side of Paphos on a relaxed half-day journey through Ktima, the city’s historic upper town. Begin at the Mousallas viewpoint, where rooftops stretch towards the Mediterranean, then wander through elegant squares, neoclassical landmarks and quiet corners that reveal how the town has changed over time.
Along the way, meet the charming Sleeping Eros, admire the colonnades of the Municipality Hall and Greek Architecture School, and uncover the town’s past at the Historical Documentation Center. Your guide will turn the streets, monuments and architecture into stories, helping you notice details that are easy to miss when exploring alone.
Finish with free time in the lanes of Paphos Old Town, where arcaded shopfronts, craft workshops and shaded cafés invite you to slow down and enjoy the local atmosphere.
