The Abandoned Bowling Alley On Bar Street
Published 26th of May, 2025
It was nice to explore, but I was slightly disappointed that none of the lanes were still present.
Information
On the noticeboard I could see a sign with news of the 8th Paphos Open competition. This was held in 2012. Presumably the place closed down before they could have a 9th.
Back To The Bar
Anyway, I made my way back down to the bar I originally entered.
Here's one last shot of the bar interior. If the owner wants to stop people from entering, they need to board up the door at the front. As far as I could see, that was the only way in.
Final View
So that was Cockatoo's Bowling Centre. Did you ever go bowling here, or visit the bar that was featured? Perhaps you played darts at Bulls Eye Dart Room? Let us know by leaving a comment. We would love to hear your anecdotes.

I feel like apologising for the size of this blog, as it contains over 70 photos. However, this is a lovely place if you like urban exploring, and I felt that if I cut down the picture count I couldn't do it justice. I appreciate that it might not be for everybody though, so the first page contains spoiler photos of what to expect. If you find them interesting, then continue to the main blog!
Pantheon Hall - Part 1
We've always loved urban exploring - visiting abandoned old buildings - and Cyprus has more than its fair share, from old hotels to forgotten hospitals for disused mines. When we discovered the place we are about to show you though, we really hit the Urbex Jackpot. This place is amazing, and has a remarkably colourful past as well.Related Pages

There used to be a bowling alley in Kato Paphos, on Bar Street no less. Whether it was usurped by Cosmic Bowling up near the Mall, I don't know. But for whatever reason, Cockatoo Bowling Club closed its doors several years ago. Recently however, I managed to find a way in, so I thought I would show you what it is like inside.

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.
