Paphos Seafront Walkabout
Homage To The Fishboy
Is this Paphos' favourite statue? It is certainly its most fondled. You can see even from here how the boy's head and shoulders (I didn't know either) have been polished by countless caresses.
Distant Shower Area
This is as close as I will go to the swimming area.
Fishboy Closeup
Incidentally, does anybody know what has happened to the statue by Paphos Fort (just for you, Achilleas!) that is no longer there? It used to depict a lady draped over a rock. It was created by Yiota Ioannidou, the same artist who made Fish Boy. Indeed, she has created a number of lovely statues around the Paphos District.
Harbour View
The jetty that Fish Boy resides on is a great place for taking photos of the area, as it gives you room to breathe. You may have to wait a while until the area is clear though, as it is also a popular selfie spot.
Of course, the Fish Boy's pitch is highly sought after. When he gets tired, there are a queue of statues waiting in the water for their turn.

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.
