Paphos Coast Path - Part 5 - Sea Front and Harbour
Paphos Clock Tower
This is the Clock Tower outside the Archaeological Park. I finally found out some information about it, on Trip Advisor of all places. Here is a nugget:
This tall metal clock tower stands at the entrance to the Archaeological Park in the harbour area of Paphos. It stands 7 meters (almost 23 feet) high and is made of pre-oxidized weathered steel plates, it has a rusty metal look.
Each side of the pillar represents one of the four Roman villas in the Archaeological Park. The words etched out of the metal relate to words that appear on the the floor mosaics inside the villas.
At the top of the column, on each side, there is a clock face, which represents each of the Villas.
Due to it’s size, location and being visible from some distance it does serve as a popular meeting point.
The clock was unveiled in 2015 by the Mayor of Paphos.
Soon To Depart
The big tour boats were beginning to fill up with guests ready for a day's adventure.
Castle Vista
I liked this view of the castle peeping between the boats.
Theo's Restaurant
On the Harbour, the restaurants were getting ready to serve breakfasts and early lunches.

If you want to go on a cruise, you can get your tickets from the jetty at the Harbour itself. Alternatively, if you want to be able to see your options from the comfort of your armchair or hotel bedroom, then check out the Viator Website.

MapPaphos Coast Path - Part 5 - Sea Front and Harbour
We've reached the Sea Front now, so we are going to have a walk along it to the Harbour and Castle. It is about an hour's walk from here to Geroskipou Beach, and if you are thinking of going there and back I would advise setting off early to avoid the heat. Having said that, there are plenty of places along the way where you can stop for a shady rest, and a number of cafes to provide you with refreshments. But out journey is not yet over. Once we have reached the castle, our adventure shall continue towards Coral Bay...

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.
