Depends what you wnat to do really and what interests you. Some initial suggestions...

1. Tombs of the Kings - A vast and interesting Archaeological / Historical site by the beach.
2. Paphos Harbour & Fort - Nice for a stroll and for people watching. Generally expensive bars / restaurants.
3. Paphos Market - Interesting shopping, good for souveneirs etc.
4. Plenty of nightlife, bars and restaurants to cater for ALL tastes and styles.
5. Boat trips of various types from the harbour. Everything from Bannana boat thrill seeking to Glass bottom boat fishing.

If you hire a car then much more is on offer withnin a few miles drive.

1. Baths of Aphrodite - pleasant little stream and pool on the edge of the mountains. Can get quite busy though.
2. Aphrodites Rock. Beautiful but again can get busy - get there early - or late, great sunsets.
4. Troodos Mountains - Stunning scenery but a driving on some of the twisty roads is a white knuckle ride if you dont handle heights well!

There is much more on offer - I have been to Paphos for two ten day holidays and have found something different to do on most of each of those days. It all depends what you want from a holiday??

I've been going for about 20 years, Trish 9 (but she did live there for some time in the 60s) and, although we do some of the same things each trip, we always find something new to do, somewhere new to go.

If you are interested in nature or cultural heritage, Paphos (and Cyprus in general) is an excellent destination. There many trails in Akamas peninsula and Paphos forest, each within an hour trip from Paphos. Also there are a few fantastic palces to swim in Akamas (I dont like Paphos beaches personally), and you can go to peaks with extraordinary panoramic view of the west coast and the north west, all the way to Pyrgos Tillirias to the east.

Enjoy your stay.
