Fanari Hill: Paphos's Panoramic Jewel

Getting There

• Walking

  From Paphos Harbour, head southeast along the Coastal Broadwalk (Promenade). Follow the path parallel to the sea, passing cafes and shops. Continue for about 20-25 minutes until you reach the intersection where the walkway leads uphill towards Fanari Hill. Look for signs indicating 'Fanari Hill' or 'Panoramic Viewing Platform'. Ascend the hill on the marked path to reach the platform. The walk is approximately 1 km and offers scenic coastal views. There are no costs associated with walking.

• Public Transport

  From the main bus station in Paphos (Karavella Station), take any bus heading towards the Paphos Harbour. Get off at the 'Paphos Archaeological Park' bus stop. From there, walk towards the coast and follow the signs for the Panoramic Viewing Platform, which is a short uphill walk. A single bus ticket costs €2 during the day or €3 at night. A day ticket is €6.50.
