Getting There

Walking
If you are in the heart of Kato Paphos, head towards the coastal promenade (also known as the Paphos Harbour). Start by walking along Poseidonos Avenue, which is the main road along the coastline. Continue walking towards the west, enjoying the view of the sea on your left. After approximately 1 km, you will reach the Paphos Harbour area. From there, follow the path that leads you past the medieval castle on your right. Keep walking along the coast, and soon you will see the Lighthouse in the distance. The Lighthouse is located a little further down the promenade, and you will be able to approach it directly from the pathway. The walk should take you around 15-20 minutes.
