Pafos Harbour is a vibrant hub of activity, where you can savour freshly caught fish at charming seafood restaurants or grab a quick snack and drink before embarking on thrilling water sport adventures or day boat trips. At the heart of this bustling area stands the majestic Pafos Castle, a medieval fortress with its base partially submerged in the sea. Since the 13th century, Pafos Castle has been an imposing presence, serving as a watchtower for potential seafaring invaders, a prison, and even a storage facility for salt supplies during British rule. Today, this historic monument is a stunning backdrop for an array of cultural events, including music, dance, and pop concerts that take place throughout the summer months. The castle is a testament to the various powers that controlled Cyprus and their efforts to solidify their rule over the land. As a symbol of the rich cultural heritage of the area, Pafos was chosen as the European Capital of Culture in 2017. Don't miss the opportunity to explore this remarkable site and soak up the lively atmosphere of Pafos Harbour during your visit to Cyprus.
