disabilities.

Every Thursday
STROLLING AROUND PAFOS TOWN
CENTRE (KTIMA)
In an effort to get visitors acquainted with
Pafos Town Centre (Ktima), which is the
newest part of the city of Pafos as
opposed to New Pafos, the ancient
Hellenistic and Roman Capital of Cyprus,
the Municipality of Pafos would like to
invite everyone to visit Pafos Town Centre
(Ktima) and get to know this part of Pafos,
incorrectly considered as merely a
shopping area.
The walking tour Strolling around Pafos
Town Centre (Ktima) aims to provide an
overall picture of Pafos and how Pafos
Town Centre
evolved and developed
from the late Byzantine and Medieval
times to what as it was called until recently
Κtima. The Pafos Town Centre (Ktima) is
associated with the local everyday life of
the population. For the Pafians though,
Pafos Town Centre (Ktima) has so much
more to it….
Through historic references, linked with
some very important historic phases
including Medieval, Ottoman, British and
modern times; one will ‘walk’ into the past
but will also get better acquainted with the
commercial centre of Pafos.
The walk is led by a licensed CTO
qualified guide. It lasts about two and a
half hours, including a half-hour break for
refreshments.
