FAQ

Is 2 days enough for Paphos?

Yes for the highlights — the Archaeological Park, Tombs of the Kings, the harbour and castle, one beach and a sunset at Aphrodite’s Rock. Add a third day for the Akamas peninsula, the Baths of Aphrodite or a wine-village trip inland.

How much are entrance fees in Paphos?

The main sites are cheap: Paphos Archaeological Park €4.50, Tombs of the Kings €2.50, Paphos Castle €2.50, Agios Neophytos Monastery €2. Pafos Zoo is the exception at €18.50. Many of the best things — the harbour, Coral Bay, Aphrodite’s Rock — are free.

Do you need a car in Paphos?

Day one is walkable or a short taxi. For day two (monastery, Coral Bay, Aphrodite’s Rock) a hire car is much easier than buses, which are infrequent between the sites.
