This area is also the most affordable area to stay in Paphos. The con is that you will be a bit far from the water and will either need to take a taxi or rent a car to get everywhere. Â
Our favorite neighborhood by far was Kato Paphos because of its easy access to the sea, activities, restaurants, and nightlife.
