RETAIL THERAPY
Paphos Harbour
If it’s Cypriot souvenirs you are looking
for then there is an abundance of shops
lined along the Paphos Harbour, selling
souvenirs from fridge magnets, post
cards, local delicacies and lots more.
This is also a good spot for jewellery
shopping, optical shopping and there
are some fantastic ice cream shops to
help you cool off in your break from
spending your pennies! The cobbled,
palm tree-lined harbour front makes for
a beautiful shopping spot.
Paphos Old Town and Market
Recently renovated and upgraded,
Paphos Old Town is a beautiful area
to wander around the local craft and
souvenir shops. There is a market area
(named the Municipal Market) which
is pedestrianised and offers shade,
which is welcome in the summer heat.
Visit the traditional stalls selling local
foods, pottery, jewellery, souvenirs &
more. We’d recommend wandering off
the beaten track of the main market
where you might get a peek at a local
tradesman at work. There are plenty of
little coffee shops & cafes around should
you wish to take a seat and soak up the
atmosphere of the beautiful Old Town.
Kings Avenue Mall
The Kings Avenue Mall opened in
Paphos in 2013 and became the
2nd largest shopping Mall on the
island. A very modern layout brings a
metropolitan feel to the fishing town.
