Weather : 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!!! HAHA

Holiday : 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!!

Places Recommended : There is a little sight seeing at Coral Bay but not a lot.
We enjoyed a days shopping in Nicosia but it got even hotter than 40 degrees, so slap on the cream!!
That was all we really did because it was so hot!
You can also go on a trip Cairo if you have not already been to Egypt!

Recommend Paphos to others : Yes

Asa Pinner went to Paphos on
Friday 22nd August 2008 for 7 days

Weather : 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!

Places Recommended : Omodus has a great family restaurant under the walnut tree for lunch; great moussaka.
Thats about it!

Recommend Paphos to others : No

Weather : Paphos is just to best place to holiday. But choose your holiday dates carefully according to temperature.

Holiday : Having been to Paphos half a dozen times. This is the only place to holiday for me. Great people, great weather, great places to eat. However, I agree with other reviews. Since joining the EEC Cyprus is becomimg more and more expensive. This could in the end prove a problem.

Places Recommended : Hire a car or use public transport which is quite cheap and very reliable. There are to many places to list. Both up in the mountains through the passes to visiting sites and beaches around the coast. There are plenty of organised trips or get one of the many site seeing guides and use the hire car. But do'nt miss the many places to eat in the evenings in and around the back road of Paphos.

Recommend Paphos to others : Yes

John Wills went to Paphos on
Saturday 20th May 2006 for 10 days

Weather : Weather very hot, sunny every day for two weeks we were there.
Night times can be a bit to hot !! Watch out for sun burn which is very easy to do. We have been to Cyprus 6 times over the last 5 years.
Don't think it ever rains in the summer.. and there is a massive water shortage...

Holiday : Great holiday, but Paphos is getting very expensive now they have gone to Euro for example last year a beer in Cyprus pounds was around �1.50 sterling this year it was around 2.5 / 3 euro thats over �2 sterling.
A meal 3 Course with wine around �6 - �7 pounds now around 13 Euro around �11 sterling.
But we still love it and the Sun does Shine !!!!!!

Places Recommended : Pub to go in Damn Yankees (next to Sixties) ask for Nigel (he is so funny when you get to know him)
Not there this summer ? maybe next ? but Nicky and Dave were nice
Food at Yankees also very good

Recommend Paphos to others : Yes

Jenny went to Paphos on
Tuesday 12th August 2008 for 14 days

Weather : Very hot and humid, could get burnt instantly!
Wandered around in just a swimming costume and flip flops all the time, put a sarong on or long t shirt when I went into shops, but for the girl who will always wear loads of clothes, I wore next to nothing.

Holiday : Amazing, favourite one apart from Disneyworld :) lots to do, but it was nice to sit by the pool, I seriously want to move out to Paphos now, one of the only holidays I can visualize myself actually being on.
Feels like a second home, and the people are lovely :)

Recommend Paphos to others : Yes

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 Islands

Places Recommended : Stroll down the front towards the harbour at night for a nice relaxing way to walk off your meal before going for a drink

Recommend Paphos to others : Yes

Weather : Really hot all day and only slightly cooler at night. The humidity was between 80 and 90 during the morning but a nice breeae in the afternooon. Aircon is a must!

Holiday : I have my own place so it was very relaxing and peaceful. Got to see a lot of the island as we hired a car.

Places Recommended : The beach at Polis is lovely and not as crowded as Coral Bay!!
Othellos restaurant serves really good food at reasonable prices.
THE FIRST AND LAST pub next to the Almond Tree is just about the best pub in the bar street area.

Recommend Paphos to others : Yes

Kathryn. went to Paphos on
Wednesday 11th July 2007 for 14 days

Weather : Boiling : it was a heat wave, but I did not complain but the very young were not as happy as me.

Recommend Paphos to others : Yes

Weather : we went December 30th for a week and the weather was like nice spring days except one day when we had quite a lot of rain

Holiday : we were very pleasantly surprised at the lovely accomodation and surroundings of the holiday village, the pools were lovely although too cold to use at that time of year. The staff and cleaners were friendly but not all the restaurants were open due to the low season.

In the season there is lots for children to do.

At that time of the year there is not a great deal of nightlife but this suited us.

Places Recommended : The Harbour is nice with two pink Pelicans, the buses are very frequent and cheap with really friendly drivers

Easily in walking distance to other places to eat and definately suited to all tastes.

Recommend Paphos to others : Yes
