The seafront of Paphos is one of the most popular and beautiful locations in Paphos for walking and recreation. Promenade in the old part of Paphos, in the district of the lower town, known as Kato Paphos.
Embankment Paphos (promenade Paphos) runs along the coast of Kato Paphos and beyond, along the coast of the tourist area of Yeroskipou, which is a continuation of Paphos.
The length of the waterfront of Kato Paphos together with Paphos promenade is about 6 kilometers, while the length of the waterfront of Paphos is about 5 kilometers.
The most active and developed part of the waterfront of Paphos originates from Paphos Castle, runs along the Harbor and stretches to the "Municipal Baths" (Municipal Baths Beach). Consists of streets Apostolou Pavlou Avenue and Poseidonos Avenue. This length of the promenade has a length of 1 kilometer and is popularly referred to as the main or Central promenade of Paphos.
Paphos Castle is not only a business card of pathos, but the main attraction of the waterfront. On the second floor of the fortress of Paphos is an outdoor observation deck, which offers panoramic views of the harbour part of the waterfront of Kato Paphos and the Mediterranean sea.

Behind the castle, at 1.8 kilometers wild part of the coast along which runs the most quiet part of Paphos harbour area. The promenade skirts the coast, runs along the fence, which is Paphos Archaeological Park (entrance to the Park from the Central waterfront), and outputs to the beach of Faros or lighthouse (Faros Beach or Lighthouse Beach).

The sculpture "Boy with fish". It seems nothing special, but still attracts attention.
From the Municipal Baths and to Geroskipou, along the coast stretches a promenade - Coastal Broadwalk. In our opinion, this is the most scenic part of the waterfront. It is here that the waterfront is a narrow landscaped path, near which there is an abundance of cafes and restaurants, close not goes transport, and part of the coastal beach strip lies below the level of the embankment, under a small cliff, which makes this place very picturesque and inviting to leisurely walks along the sea.
Promenade Paphos or Yeroskipou (Geroskipou) stretches along the sea for about a colimeters.
Much of the promenade runs along the Geroskipou hotels with direct access to the beaches and lined up along the sea almost next to each other. And, of course, the promenade Geroskipou is buried in flowers and greenery, because the hotels take care of the adjacent territory.
