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 Paphos Town Centre (Ktima) aims to provide an overall picture of Paphos 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.
Starting point: CTO Information Office, 3 Gladstonos Str. Time 10:00.
Free guiding and participation. Tel. 26932841.
Organised by the Municipality of Pafos in collaboration with the Cyprus Tourist Guides Association and the Cyprus Tourism Organisation.
I believe that this city tour is a very good opportunity for the visitors to have a look at the "real Paphos". I would suggest a bus tour as well, like is happening in London, Barcelona etc, i have seen a red bus going around Paphos but i am not sure whether is organised by the municipality or the CTO. If it is organised by the Authorities, more advertisment should take place
ReplyDeleteI belive that the city tours will give the chance even to locals who want to know more about history and especially the history of Paphos to take part in this.
Keep up the good work!!!
