Paphos is renowned as the birthplace of Greek goddess Aphrodite. Modern-day Paphos
is divided in two, with the upper section up the hill being the commercial center, and lower Kato Paphos
containing the main archaeological points of interest, as well as most hotels and tavernas.
The local government seem to be ploughing a lot of money into improving the the lower Kato Paphos area which
combines hotels, bars and restaurants along a coastal strip a few km long. Most of the work is now finished as of
November 2008. There is a newly built front leading round to the marina and a long coastal path with amazing
views - perfect for a morning or evening stroll.
