Paphos Old Town in 2026 - Part 3
Nosey
I am drawn to old ruined buildings like a fly to a cow pat, so I went for a little wander. I am guessing that some of the arches used to house self-contained units.
Rickety Stairs
In the larger building there was a rickety staircase. You will be pleased to note I did not attempt to climb it.
Mezzanine Level
It looks like it led to some sort of Mezzanine level. Looking at that wooden framework I can't help thinking I am wandering around an old DIY shop, or something like that. You can imagine lots of planks of wood being laid across those beams.
Dark Corridors
It was a fairly interesting place to explore. I did so in part because I enjoy that sort of thing, but also I wanted to capture some pictures of what the area looks like at the moment. Then, when it appears all tarted up in a few years time, I will have some handy "Before" shots.
One thing is for certain though: the buildings were definitely not residential.

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.
