Paphos Walkway Is Open!
The Route Up
I haven't seen it confirmed anywhere but I am guessing you could get a wheelchair or a pushchair up or down the bridge. You might have some issues with what to do when you get to Fabrica Hill, but I suppose you could always just return back down.
Roundabout View
A few years ago I read that the design on the roundabout was supposed to represent Paphos itself.
Drone View
I've searched and searched but cannot find the orginal article. It looks pretty though, and you get a nice view of the Mall as well.
Contraversial Construction
Spinning the drone 180 degrees reveals an imposing and growing landmark. The new tower that is being constructed near the SODAP beach certainly divides opinion. I will reserve judgement until it is finished. I worked on Canary Wharf when they were building that, and I know that a finished building looks much nicer than a construction site. Besides, there are going to be big new developments in the Geroskipou end of Paphos, including a University and several business parks. I think this is a good thing. One thing that COVID and the war in The Ukraine has shown us is that Paphos cannot solely rely on tourism in order to survive and prosper.
Back To The Bridge
Let's continue our walk. I was enjoying seeing the rocks from different angles. Fabrica Hill is still an active Archaeological area, and there are numerous digs taking place. It is riddled with caves and underground passageways. There is even an amphitheatre. So it makes perfect sense to link it to the Archaeological Park.

Let's Take a Look At Fabrica Hill
We've driven past Fabrica Hill many times over the years, and often wondered what was up there. (It's the area of land diagonally opposite The Mall, in case you didn't know). After comments and photos started appearing on the forum about the erection of a raised walkway, we decided a visit was overdue. With no expectations of what we would see when we got there, other than a vague feeling of disappointment that despite what it looked like, they weren't building a roller coaster, this is what we found.
Beyond Fabrica Hill
A few weeks ago we blogged about Fabrica Hill. We went to find out about the new walkway, and to see what was on the hill. The blog was very popular, but left people chomping at the bit for more. Why didn't you feature the amphitheatre? Where will the walkway end? Why are there never any hedgehogs in your blogs? Most of these questions were asked. So the other day, we went back to find the answers. Not only that, but we also found that most elusive of creatures, an artist's impression of what the walkway will look like when it is complete. So read on to find out...

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.
