Paphos Walkway Is Open!
Lighthouse Beach
This shows the far end of the Archaeological Park. You can just make out the amphitheatre on the left, below the lighthouse. If you wanted to visit the park and end at Fabrica Hill, I would suggest fitting Saranta Colones (Forty Column Fortress) in at the start of your tour. It is a slight diversion, but if you don't do it then you will have to do a lot more walking towards the end. Once you have done that and the outdoor murals, you cool off as you visit the indoor ones, then head up to the light house and amphitheatre. From there you can walk down to Toumpallos and through the exit. This will bring you to the start of the bridge.
Paphos Fort View
You could then walk up the bridge, across Fabrica Hill, and down to the other amphitheatre. Walk on to St Paul's Pillar, and from there the sea front, finishing back at the car park. A good walk that would require plenty of fluid and a sun hat.

That Tower Again
You can see in this picture what I mean about wheelchair access and Fabrica Hill. I don't know if there are plans to make it more accessible, but as I said before, if the worst comes to the worst, you could always return the way you came.

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.
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.
