Staying in Kato Paphos and the harbor
Choose your street carefully around the harbor. An address beside Poseidonos Avenue puts the promenade close by, while rooms farther inland can involve road crossings before you reach the water. For an easy first walk, follow Apostolou Pavlou toward the harbor, then turn inland to the church ruins around Agia Kyriaki.
