The hotel was incredible and everybody was so lovely! We hired a jeep and spent a few days at the Blue Lagoon (a defiant!)

The Phaethon is only about 20 minutes from the airport which is great when you have been in the aeroplane for 4 1/2 hours. The beach outside the hotel is very poor really and you wouldnt be able to swim in it because of the seaweed - but if you go to the part out side the RIU they have cleaned it up and its really nice. You cant use their sun beds so you have to use your own towels.
About ten minutes walk to the left of the hotel are a few bars and little shops which make a change to go out now and again. The main town and harbour of Paphos is a 5 minute bus ride and here you will find all the tavernas, shops etc with a wide range of things to do.
Would I go back to the Phaethon - definately. It is a bit out of the way but the buses run every 15 mins and you can go anywhere for 50 cents. Don't hesitate book it now!!

Paphos is very English so if you're looking for a taste of the real Cyprus you'll have to travel to find it, although there are several historical sites of interest. It's a pleasant seafront resort though with loads of reasonably priced restaurants geared up to the English tourist. Shops are mostly tourist shops or jewellery shops - one or two nice leather and shoe shops though.
The most 'authentic' restaurant we managed to find was a place called Argo which is located not far from the Town Hall in a side street opposite a pottery shop. Nice food, reasonably priced and a bit off the main drag, so not always packed. Most restaurants offer a set menu ranging from £5.95 - £8.95. I'd recommend The Perfume Garden - lovely food, ok location and nice service - 3 courses and coffee for £5.95. Les Amis restaurant (near Alexander the Great Hotel on opposite side of road and up a side street) was also good.
Coral Bay is the only decent beach in Paphos - you need to get a bus or drive to it from most of the Hotels/apartments. There are a couple of other beaches by the harbour but nothing very appealing.
Paphos isn't for groups of girls or lads looking for a party holiday although there are a few bars and pubs and a couple of discos/clubs - most of the nightlife centres around the restaurants. Harbour area is very busy and seems to be where most people stroll to during the evening. Great place for middle aged or older couples looking for a relaxing and safe home from home holiday.
The Cypriot people were lovely!

From September onwards Paphos attracts the over 55's. Resort very clean with plenty of first class restaurants. Just don't expect sandy beaches - relax by the hotel pool instead.

Paphos is very dry, dusty and most of it looks like a big building site, with houses and hotels being built on any spare bit of ground, but is relatively clean none the less.
Most of the bars seemed to be obsessed with football, whether that's to appeal to the Brits or for their own interest I don't know, but was on in all the bars.
There's not much of a beach in Paphos, it resembles very fine gravel as opposed to sand, most people go to Coral Bay.
The public toilets are absolutely disgusting,and should be avoided at all costs. I would visit this resort again but only because of the hotel.

Very nice resort,it is a little out of the way but we hired a car for the two weeks so not a problem for us, the buses do run past 50 cents either way.
The resort entertainment was good plenty of things to do, we did cosmic bowling which was good fun, lots of water sports and went to the waterpark, an excellant day out for the whole family.
The beaches are not great in Paphos but there is a nice beach in Coral bay just down the road.
We would defintely go back again.

Paphos is a very pretty resort, particularly the seafront and harbour area. It is a very clean resort, with regular evidence of refuse collection and street cleaning.There is plenty to see and do in resort, from archaeological sites and the Paphos Aquarium, to a water park & go kart track on the edge of town. The shopping in Paphos is excellent, and not too expensive, with good quality jewellery, clothing and shoes. The selection of shops is wide with very helpful staff, most with good English. The beaches on resort are clean and well appointed, although one or two of the toilets do leave something to be desired! All in all a great resort for families, couples of all ages and singles looking for a fun time.Definitely worth a visit (or four in our case!) Roll on next year!

We love Paphos and will always return when we can. But we\ are under no illusions as to its shortcomings. It can be scruffy. It can be untidy. It can be very expensive. But we know the bits we like and stick to them for a very happy low cost time there.
