Days 184 to 187: Four Days in Paphos

I will stay one more night in Paphos then tomorrow morning I will catch a flight to Amman, Jordan.

Counting tonight’s stay, I would have stayed in Paphos for a total of four nights. I don’t think a tourist should spend that long in Paphos because there are only about two or three main sights here. There’s the Archaeological Site of the Tombs of the Kings and the Archaeological Site of Nea Paphos. I also went to the Old Town and Venus Beach today.

At The Hostel Inn, I met a seasoned digital nomad named James. He’s an American in his fifties and works remotely as an English professor at a community college in California. We spent half a day at the Archaeological Site of Nea Paphos yesterday morning.

I also met Xianhan, a Chinese Canadian traveler I had met previously at the Bee Hostel in Limassol. He is going to Amman too, but will arrive a day before me.

This morning, I spent some time with Bavle. He’s from Croatia and is taking a vacation in Paphos. I walked with him to the Tombs of the Kings and parted ways with him there since I wanted to visit Venus Beach nearby.

Again, I had a relaxed time, didn’t have anything to worry about. I did think about doing some freelance gigs on Fiverr or Upwork, but then I decided not to since I don’t want to put any stress on myself.

Tomorrow morning, I have to get on the 7:25 AM bus to Paphos Airport for the 10:20 AM flight. I hope to sleep well tonight.

All the tombs are below the ground level.

There are about nine tombs in total.

A man contemplating about life. What else is new? LOL!

View of Paphos Castle

It's more like a keep than a castle.
