Local area
The town of Paphos is included in the official UNESCO list of Cultural Heritage sites. It is located on the Southwest coast, ranking as one of Cyprus’ most popular resorts combining a wealth of ancient sites, excellent properties and plenty of local flavour. Compared to other seaside towns like Limassol, Paphos exudes a much slower pace of life and has always been particularly popular with British visitors. Paphos is actually made up of two ‘twin-towns’. High on the hilltop, ‘Ktima’ is a typical large town with thriving local shops, taverns, interesting buildings, churches and museums. In contrast, ‘Kato Paphos’ is the tourist area, which has developed by the waterfront providing visitors and residents with a very long promenade lined with masses of shops and taverns. Side streets too are packed with bars, discos, clubs, restaurants and more shops, all patronised by locals and tourists alike.
There is plenty to explore and for superb beaches Coral Bay, only a 15 minute drive from Empa ranks as one of the best in the area. There are two nearby golf courses and plenty of sporting facilities and for the evenings there are a multitude of restaurants to choose from. Further afield there are the Troodos Mountains, Paphos Forest and Akamas for those that wish to enjoy the wilder side of Cyprus.

Full details of activities and places to visit are available from the property owner and details are available at the property.
