Paphos Old Town in 2023 - Part 2
Chernobyl Bar Advert
Isn't that an amazing mural? And now you know where the bar itself is. But lets turn around and head back down the alley.
Towards The Mosque
This alley leads back towards the mosque. We've just passed Cosmos Gallery and are coming up to one of the entrances to Ibrahim's Khan.
Children's Play Area
Opposite the entrance there is a new children's play area, with its own bit of scandal. If you look at the centre front of the picture, there is an empty plinth. There used to be a statue here showing a young girl holding a hoop. A while ago it was stolen. Initially, and rather predictably, the theft was blamed on illegal immigrants. However, I seem to remember that it was actually stolen by local people from Tremithousa, who wanted to melt it for the bronze.
The statue itself was another creation by the artist Yiota Ioannidou and was gifted to the city by Chinese businessman and Paphos resident Henry Jiang.
Peace2Peace Exhibit
We mentioned Peace2Peace in Part 1 of this tour. At the entrance to the Khan you will see their exhibit, in all its glory.
Enter Here
Ibrahim's Khan is a triumph of the Old Town Renovations. To the left of this entrance you can see some photos showing what the place used to look like. I think you will agree that is is a huge improvement!

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.
