IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR TRAVELLERS TO PAPHOS
Paphos has excitedly been awarded the 2017 European Capital of Culture! Whilst this is great news, it should be noted that as a result of certain guidelines, there is currently a great deal of construction work on the roads in central Paphos.
I encourage everyone to not let this put you off visiting our amazing island but I would advise visitors that some of the directions and parking information within my guide (and others alike) may be somewhat disrupted as a result.
I will, of course, update the guide alongside any permanent changes to our town. Thank you!
