first holiday in paphos
Review by: Anonymous
Weather
holidaying for 10 days from 4 november 1913 to 14 november and the weather was sunny and perfect every single day. Sea bathing was warm and swimming excellent.
Holiday
first time in paphos was a let-down as our. expectations were completely unrealistic and shocked at the huge housing estates and developments and unfinished developments around.
Almost an up market blackpool on the Harbour. Wanted to return home on first day of seeing Pathos Harbour shops.
Large gangs of Cypriot school teenagers to circumnavigate on the Harbour front as well. After visiting antiquities, museums, mosiacs and Trodos mountains and the beautiful beaches and coves further along where it was peaceful and tranquil we would return to cyprus but further away from Paphos with own car transport included with villa.
Of course I have to remind myself that we are of retirement age now!.Recommend Paphos to others?

Fantastic villa holiday
Review by: Anonymous
Weather
Fantastic 12 hours of glorious sunshine every day of our stay.
Holiday
www.cyprus-villa-holidays.co.uk
The family holiday in the Villa Hieros Kepos, Geroskipou, Pahos was exactly what we all needed. A quiet location, peaceful and very relaxing surroundings and very helpful owners who arranged cheap car hire for us. The villa has its own private heated swimming pool, spa hot tub for that great relaxing final dip of the day and of course, the BBQ for those super evenings when eating outdoors is a must. The sea views and sunsets are to die for...
The Cypriot people are really friendly and I felt at home straight away. I highly recommend anyone that has not been to Cyprus and in particular, Paphos to make that first time visit and then like us, you will want to return to the historical Island.Recommend Paphos to others?

A quiet time in Paphos
Review by: Anonymous
Weather
The weather was beautiful and hot.
Holiday
My holiday was exactly what I needed, quiet, peaceful and very relaxing.
The people were really friendly and I felt at home (I am half Cypriot, never been to Cyprus yet everyone seemed to know I am Greek...which felt great).
I didn't go for a hedonistic time, just to experience a little bit of the country, swim in the sea and relax.
The food however, was a let down. All restaurants catering for the English palate. Steak Diane, anyone?!
The Greek food that was on offer was poor - taking advantage, perhaps of the fact that most people wouldn't know any different... But going to a touristy spot with loads of ex-pats, so what should one expect?!
Anyway, food aside, I would definitely go again!Recommend Paphos to others?

Great Villa and Golfing Holiday in Paphos
Review by: Mike Broomwoode
Weather
We always go in May as the weather is just right for us and as good as you ever get in any UK summer, period.
Holiday
We always stay in the villa Hieros Kepos in the village called Koloni, very close to Geroskipou, which is only 5k from Paphos sea front. The villa has great sea views, a hot tub, BBQs and air conditioning units included in the rental. Reasons we stay here is that the hosts, John & Ann, always ensure we have all we need to have a perfect holiday and now I take my golf clubs because only 2k away from the villa is the new golf course called Elea Estates Golf Club, built by Sir Nick Faldo, and the views are spectacular.

We stayed in a villa, end of May, beginning of June.
The weather was fantastic, we went to quite a few restaurants- all very good, enjoyed it that much we are going back for another two weeks at the beginning of September.
Try and find a place called stone house restaurant and bar on the way to Peyia- very friendly.We also hired a car and travelled to Episkopi to see the ruins and then for a swim at Atcurium Beach, just below ruins- LOVELY.Holiday

We went in Mid August. It was absolutely boiling and loved every minute of it. Altough was extremely hot around the pool, so we went by the beach as it was a bit cooler. By saying a bit I mean a BIT.
Holiday
Lovely and relaxing but still enough things to do near by. Beach was beautiful, If you walk up to the next hotel the beach outside was even better.

great relaxed holiday
Review by: Cox
Weather
Paphos was my first holiday abroad. I went at the end of June 2009 with my family. It was quite quiet at this time of year but at least it made it easy to get a sun lounger!
The weather was lovely, very hot midday up to 34 degrees, got a bit cooler at night.Holiday
We stayed at the Pandream Apartments and couldn't of wished for a better apartment to stay at. Very clean with a lovely view from the balcony. The staff were very friendly and even kindly helped us get back into our room at 3am when our key card wasn't working.
Paphos is a very relaxed island with lovely scenery. Suitable for families and couples. There are plenty of great bars like Pagasus bar, The Black Rose and Crocodile Pub each with friendly staff who also offered us free deserts and tea.Recommend Paphos to others?

Our holiday in Papho`s
Review by: Jayne Towgli
Weather
We went to Paphos in the end of Sep until beginning of Oct 2010, the weather was very hot during the day and not much cooler at night but we enjoyed it all the same.
Holiday
The villa we stayed in was not brilliant, we were told by the pool cleaner that that particular area was the slum area, typical! So would definatly still go back as we always do, but certainly not that area in Kato again.

My villa holiday in Paphos

Weather very, very hot with high humidity, so during the day it was a little uncomfortable to do anything other than relax around the pool or go to the local beach.

Great villa and super hosts. The villa Hieros Kepos in Geroskipou was ideal location for us, being quiet but not far to travel for the tourist hot spots. Check out the website for holiday details at

EXCELLENT GO TWICE A YEAR
Review by: MICHAEL
Weather
Always go in May and the end of September. Teh weather is always good. I would recommend not to eat in the tourist rubbish, where the locals go is much better.I worked in Paohos and have always recommended to hire a car and explore the area to tourists.

It is nice and relaxing, we went up the mountains. We also drove to Lachi and Polis which were also nice. We went to Oniels Bar on Tomb on the Kings Road quite a few times which was good.

Paphos Holiday
Review by: Hayley
Weather
In July and August it is too hot and humid to do anything at all apart from sun bathe, even in the evening walking out for a meal you are sweating.
Holiday
The holiday was relaxing, they were very friendly people. We got cheaper flights into Larnaca, so decided to hire a car, maybe it would have been better to have paid a bit more and gone into Paphos airport. Would love to try this country in May/June time.

Paphos
Review by: Anonymous
Weather
Very hot, 30-35 in the day and 25-30 in the evenings. Rather humid at times which can make it difficult to get about during the day, but if heat is your thing then this is definatley the place.
Holiday
Overall, awful. We went for a wedding and that was fabulous, but the rest on the whole I wouldn't bother with. If your idea of a great holiday is sitting by the pool then get drunk in the evenings, this is your place, but I would save your money and go somewhere cheaper for that.
However, there are places of historical interest and if you go to the Tourist Information they are really helpful. Don't let paphos put you off Cyprus, it's just been too built up, that's all.Recommend Paphos to others?

My Gorgeous sun filled holiday!
Review by: Jody Price
Weather
The weather was absolutely gorgeous, 1 or 2 days were cloudy but boiling as the sun still came out, on average each day it was between 30-33 degrees, I wore factor 30 suncream everyday and ive came home golden brown and quite dark. The evenings were about 28-30 had to have the air conditioning on most of the time, You soon get used to the hot sun and its enjoyable I absolutely loved it, We were on holiday with our 4 year old and he was absolutely fine with the sun he loved it, he had factor 40 everyday and he is golden brown.
Holiday
We stayed in Kato Paphos, the first place we stayed was Paradise Kings Club which were very lovely apartments but also very quiet which we loved, Its a bit of a walk to the shops and restaurants but worth it. We moved the second week to the Royal Seacrest Apartments which are almost situated on Tombs of the Kings Road, absolutly perfect location, just a 3 min walk and your there by everything. Each day of the holiday was great, we were out everyday exploring new places. Found Paphos to be quite expensive in general but you soon find places to suit your budgets we did a big food shop on the first week and that saved us a bomb.

We went to Pahos in September 2009 and although we had a couple of overcast days the weather was beautiful.
Holiday
We stayed at the Athena Royal Beach which was so faultless we're actually returning there in a couple of days time. The Athena Royal is adults only but its sister hotel the Athena Beach is right next door and very child friendly. The views across the beach are beautiful and you're just a short walk away from the harbour.

Warm sunny and just perfect. Try to do the energitic things in the mornings or the evenings. The afternoons heat can be fierce. It was for us in the mid 30's.
If it all gets too much drive into the mountains and find a shady taverna.Holiday
We had a great time in June 2010. The weather was excellent, the hotel was just great (Atlantica Golden Beach) and the people of Cyprus, just make it what it is. Warm and Friendly. I can't think of another place were you are made so welcome.

Our family holiday in Cyprus
Review by: Heather
Weather
The weather was fantastic. We had 1 big rain shower and the kids thought it was great as they were really HOT and it cooled them down nicely. It only lasted 15 minutes and then the sun came back and it was as if it had never happened.
Other than that the weather has always been fantastic. We go every year as my family has an apartment in Peyia just up from Coral Bay.Holiday
Our holidays have always been great - i've been going there every year since I was 10. Now at 24 I have my own children, one who is 6 and one of 3. I take them and to be truthful I wouldn't take them anywhere else. The people are really friendly and very good with children. Overall I would say its a great family holiday, my kids never have any complants and always look forward to their next holiday.

My holiday in villa outside Pathos.
Review by: Selwyn Stephens
Weather
Warm and sunny by day, cooler in the evening.
We had some slight rain one night but overall it was great.Holiday
We stayed in a villa at Chlorakas.
The price of food was high and booze also was expensive at some places.
Spirits were very cheap in the small shops around the harbour. A litre bottle of Famous Grouse was 10 Euro whereas a shot of the same in a bar was costing 4.5 Euro.
Some wine was cheap in Carrefours.
We were 2 couples with no children in tow. The Villa had a pool so we spent a lot of time there.
We hired a car for a week and went up the coast to Polis and Coral Bay. The driving is poor so be careful and pavements do not exist.
If you do drink then take some wine boxes with you and as much food as you can. If you are self catering, dont waste space on clothes.Recommend Paphos to others?

Aquamare Beach & Spa Hotel
Review by: Captain Beefheart
Weather
On the Monday we experienced the worst thunder storms they had had for many years, lasted three days.
The rest of the time it was OK temp in the mid 70's.Holiday
Due to the bad weather just chilled out on the grass in front of the hotel by the sea for the rest of our stay.
Overall we found it to be very expensive,mediocre bottle of wine in the hotel was £18, cup of tea £2.60, but this was in a 4 star establishment.
Eating out seemed to be in the same vein, indifferent selection of uninspiring dishes all with chips. For anything more exciting the prices were the same as back home.
Food in the hotel was generally good with an interesting selection of a'la carte dishesRecommend Paphos to others?

Crazy drivers & Bad pavement facilities could spoil a lovely resort
Review by: Sandra Penrose
Weather
First and second week was hot and sunny during the day and warm in the evening.
Into the third week it started to rain heavily and we had a couple of thunderstorms but it was still warm apart from a couple of nights when it was quite cool.
Think the heavy rain is unusual for this time of the year.Holiday
Have been going to Paphos for 21yrs and always enjoy it.
Since the Euro the prices have gone up but still find it value for money. There are plenty of restaurants doing 3 course meals for between 10 / 15 eu. The supermarket prices are about the same as in the UK.
Have to agree with the previous review about the drivers. They seem to have no regard for pedestrians. We nearly got hit crossing a level crossing when a car overtook the car which had stopped to let us cross. We were very shook up.
They park anywhere even on the zebra crossings. It is very difficult for pram and wheelchair users to get about. Also it is about time they sorted the pavements out as in a lot of places you have to walk on the road which is very scary.
During the day the coastal path down to the harbour is a lovely safe walk.Recommend Paphos to others?

roads in Paphos
Review by: Anonymous
Weather
Very hot first week, and hot second week.
Thunder last 2 evenings.
Hot at night, needed windows open or have the noisy air con on.Holiday
Noisy, fast, crazy drivers, made life as a pedestrian very scary! Vehicles parking on pavements and ignoring double yellow lines, provided a difficult passage esp. for pushchairs /wheelchair users and partially sighted pedestrians, and those from the older population with impaired mobility. Beware when crossing the road, local drivers are not the best at stopping for pedestrians trying to cross - not even on a "zebra" crossing! Boy racers and speeding traffic does not give a peaceful holiday or a good nights sleep. Work starts early in Paphos 4.30 am, or was that the night shift going home?
Very expensive drinks and mediocre coffee every where for 2-4 euros per luke warm cup!Recommend Paphos to others?

The weather was fantastic!!
HOT HOT HOT!!
Around 36 degrees and not a cloud in the sky.
You definitely needed air conditioning or you would have never slept at night with it been so humid!!
But great in the day I LOVE A GREAT TAN TOO SHOW OFF AT WORK!!! HAHAHoliday
Paphos is a great place in Cyprus, we stopped in the Paphian bay hotel, and you could not ask for a better hotel.
It seems though that all the hotels are excellent in Paphos anyway!
The people are so nice and love children!
There was not a huge amount of nightlife it is mainly all hotel based.
The complete opposite to Ayia Napa in that respect, but we had a great time!
I would recomend not to go any less than half-board as it is a very expensive place!!Recommend Paphos to others?

Review by: Anonymous

Weather was great, hot and sunny so nice to see a bright sky!
Cooler in the mountains especially at night.Holiday
We were dismayed at the dryness of the island and lack of green scenery.
Lots of ugly blocks of flats and then too many houses built on the mountainside.
Accommodation in the mountains was tiny and pretty bad so we left early.
Accommodation in Paphos was at the cross street of two main roads; noisy and depressing, so we went back to the mountains and found somewhere better.
Food was tourist based and always chips chips and chips, pretty bad!
No colourful vegetable markets; no colour in the villages, no wonderful old buildings.
No culture it seems; someone in Limassol told us all the old buildings pretty much had been ripped down. Nothing like Greece!Recommend Paphos to others?

Paphos Holiday
Review by: Steve & Maria
Weather
As always the weather was fantastic, almost unbroken sunshine for the whole 7 days we were there.
Evenings were hot but comfortable (as long as you wear shorts and tee shirt).
Don't consider going to any hotel that doesn't have air con you simply won't sleep.Holiday
This is the 5th time we've been to Paphos but the first time we have spent any time on the beach within Paphos.
Not as pretty as Coral Bay but perfectly nice and the sea breeze helps keep the temperature a little more comfortable, thats when there is a sea breeze.
The road down to the harbour has no been pedestrianised and looks lovely although they seemed to be setting it up to let some traffic through when we were there.
Paphos is great although the only downside is that it is probably 10-20% dearer than other Greek IslandsRecommend Paphos to others?
