Know before you go

Hi, I'm Eve. Here are a few practical things to know before exploring Walkway.

Bring water and sun protection, as shaded areas are limited along much of the walkway especially during midday.
Visit around sunset for the most atmospheric photographs and a vibrant local ambience by the harbour.
Many sections of the walkway are wheelchair and stroller-friendly, but some areas near archaeological sites have uneven surfaces.
Pair your stroll with a visit to the Paphos Castle or local fish tavernas for a complete Cypriot coastal experience.

Getting There

Walking

From the heart of Kato Paphos near the archaeological park or central harbour, the seafront walkway begins right at the edge of the marina area. Simply head towards the iconic medieval castle—its silhouette marks the natural gateway. The promenade stretches out from here, hugging the coastline with views of the sea and nearby archaeological ruins. It’s an easy, mostly level walk; expect a leisurely pace of about 10–20 minutes to reach the quieter stretches or as little as 1–2 minutes for immediate access from the central square. This is a public space, freely accessible 24 hours a day, and no admission fee or special transport is required.
Taxi

Taxis from anywhere in central Kato Paphos to the walkway’s main access points—such as the harbour or archaeological park—are readily available and typically cost €8–12 depending on your exact starting point and traffic. Taxis drop guests near the vibrant central hub, making it just moments on foot to join the seafront promenade. Parking in nearby lots is generally available for €2–3 per hour, but can fill up quickly during peak times.
