Paphos Old Town In 2023 - Part 5
Ever-Decreasing Sparrows
There are a couple of art exhibits on the viewpoint too. The first is this lovely piece by Yiota Ioannidou. She is the artist who also did the Fish Boy at Paphos Sea Front, along with a number of other statues around Paphos. The girl used to be accompanied by some sparrows, but they unfortunately kept getting stolen. So now she sits alone.
Monolith
The other art exhibit is this strange-looking monolith. Go ahead and touch it. That is what it is there for.
The Old Post Office
Across the road from the viewing platform you will find this rather wonderful building. It is actually the old Post Office. It looks a lot nicer than the new one.
Motorised Scooters For Hire
This was a new one on me. These are hirable scooters, which presumably work in the same sort of way as the old Boris Bikes of London. This begs the question, how is the rule of law enforced with regards to the person driving one? And what about insurance?
Towards Kato Paphos
If you turn right here you will be heading towards Marks and Spencer, the Kings Avenue Mall and Kato Paphos.

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.
