Paphos Old Town in 2023 - Part 3
History
One of the things I love about the older quarters of cities everywhere are the huge old doors that adorn the buildings. They have been repaired many times. Indeed, some of them are now more repair than original. They must all have loads of interesting tales to tell.
Sharp Turn
We've reached the end of the main road loop now in Old Town. You can see what a sharp turn it is going to be if you are wanting to continue on the loop. I love the building you can see in the centre here. It looks like it used to have a fairly grand role. Is it an old municipal building that has fallen into disuse? Imagine what it will look like once renovated!
Back Into Old Town
So now we are walking along the main road back into Old Town, going with the traffic. You can see that there are buildings here that are yet to be renovated.
Thermopilon 71
Soon though you will arrive at this restaurant. Thermopilon 71 is a cheerful place selling reasonably priced local Cypriot food, judging from the menu I saw. I imagine it is popular with the guests of the Bee Hostel above it, which we will get to soon. First though, let's have a look to the right.
Smo Clock
Here you will find a Shisha bar, called Smo Clock.

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.
