Paphos Old Town In 2023 - Part 1
Deceptively Spacious
It is worth pointing out that a lot of the stalls are actually annexes of bricks and mortar shops you can enter behind them. So the market is bigger than you might initially think. Be sure to check out the interiors too.
Cyprus Staple
I don't know why but artificial cocks have been a Gift Shop Essential for as long as I can remember in Cyprus. This has always surprised me, given the importance that the Church has in every-day Cypriot life.
One thing missing amongst this tat though is the Pink Panther. I am now referring to the cartoon character rather than some variation on an unruly member. You may recall in our reports on festivals in Cyprus, that Pink Panther toys are remarkably popular. You never see anybody buying one, yet all the stalls seem to offer them for sale. I don't think I saw a single one in the Old Town Market though.
Central Water Feature
I wonder if that's drinking water? This tap is a good meeting point when you are exploring the market though. It is centrally located and easy to find. Plus there is only one of them.
More Bustle
Towards the front of the market people were starting to arrive. The umbrellas nearly cover the market here, so it is more reminiscent of the old covered area.
Cyprus Lace
There is a lot more to the market than the gift shops. You can buy Cyprus Lace here too. And be sure to go into the shop behind the stall as well.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
