Paphos Old Town In 2026 - Part 4
Still Waiting
There is a wall here that is still waiting to be renovated. I wonder what caused that rather round hole in the back? It looks like the scene out of a cartoon involving a bank robbery.
Central Bus Station
And here is the main Bus Station, looking very swanky.
Shopping Parade
Opposite the Bus Station you will find a number of shops and a bustling cafe. To me it looks like an area that used to be more popular but has fallen out of fashion for some reason. Having said that, I could hear quite a few games of Tivli being played, so the cafe at least is still busy.
New Build
There is also a new coffee shop next to the Bus Station, but the locals seemed to prefer the other one.
Markideio Theatre
After the Bus Station, we arrive at the Markideio Theatre. This fairly new construction was built on the site and ruins of an older, outdated theatre as part of an urban renewal project designed by Simpraxis Architects. The renovated venue seats 410 people and serves as a primary cultural hub in 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.
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.
