Beautiful old town in Paphos

Looking for those charming little shops, cafes and buildings? The old town in Paphos has it all. With lots of nice places to go for a coffee and cake, or wine and champagne, brunch or dinner, you could easily spend a day wandering around in this charming part of Paphos. What about buying local hand craft? Or taking home a few of the locally grown delicatees? Or if you´re interested in street art, The Old Town is absolutely worth a visit!

I love wandering around in the old town. Stopping for a glass of wine or bubbles at “BLVD – bistro & wine bar”

And stopping coffee and a delicious vegan cake at a lovely lady´s cafe Boo-tea-licious! She also takes orders for events and for Christmas – I´m super excited to order vegan mince pies from her for Christmas.

 

Vegan coffee cake and coffee at “Boo-tea-licious” – Try out her different cakes – they are delicious!

“The place” is a wonderful art shop and gallery with everything from Cypriot art, baskets, pottery, woodcarvings to local deli like spicy olive paste – which was yummi! I brought the olive paste with me on a job as a tour guide for a Norwegian travel company, to let the guests have a taste when we were out trekking.

Perfect out on a picnic too..

And my mom bought me these ceramic cups – they are one of my favorite cups!

Perfect for espresso, but also this wonderful remedy: Koko dairy free milk, turmeric, ginger, clove and cardamom essential oils – yum! It´s a real kick now when the weather is changing!

Spend a morning or afternoon to visit The Old Town in Paphos – walk around, get a little lost, view the street art, visit art galleries, and see the green living wall – a wall consisting of around 2240 plants!

One of the many nice cafes in the Old Town. There´s also another healthy choice…

There´s so many restaurants there, but I kind of find this to be the one we go back to. “Soli Aepia” has a beautiful view over Paphos and it feels really nice to sit there among wine grapes and the green garden below with citrus trees, fig trees and olive trees to name a few. The service is always good and there´s a few veggie options there too. Was a bit misty the day we where there, but usually you can see the Mediterranean from the restaurant

 

I love old doors! You can still find a few of them in the old town. I thin the mix of new and old is so charming!

Often I find myself quite fascinated by street art. Love how they light up the city in different ways. It´s such honest and expressive work of art.

In love with selfies? Hahaha! This is a cool one!

There´s an open air taverna hidden inside this beautiful building. A little bit of an eclectic style, but nice with all the trees around…in the middle of the city

Kiniras Tavern is also a hotel – I have not tried their food yet, but I´m going back to try and will write an update here;)

Found this greek tunica in the old town. Paphos Market is a covered Bazaar style area where they sell clothes, jewelry, lace, handmade crafts, colorful bags and all kinds of souvenirs.

I stopped by the Cyprus Tourism office too, located in the old town. Picked up a few maps and brochures….and fresh fruit from a fruit market on the way home – Yummi local fruit!

Thinking about coming to Cyprus? Come to Paphos:)
