Spend Quality Time with Your Family in Paphos
Paphos isn’t just a destination for history lovers or beachgoers—it’s also one of the best places in Cyprus to enjoy quality family time. Whether you’re visiting with young children, teenagers, or multiple generations, this coastal city offers a wide range of fun, enriching, and relaxing experiences that bring families together.
Here’s how to make the most of your family holiday in Paphos.
Discover Wildlife at Pafos Zoo
Located just outside the city, Pafos Zoo is the perfect spot for a day of discovery and excitement. Home to hundreds of animals—from flamingos and giraffes to reptiles and parrots—it offers a hands-on, educational experience in a lush natural setting.
Children will love the interactive shows and animal feedings, while parents will appreciate the shaded paths, picnic areas, and cafés. It’s a chance to connect with nature while having fun as a family.
Make a Splash at Paphos Aphrodite Waterpark
When the weather calls for something cool and exciting, Paphos Aphrodite Waterpark delivers. With slides for all ages, wave pools, lazy rivers, and kids’ zones, it’s a full day of water-based adventure in a safe and welcoming environment.
Whether your kids are thrill-seekers or prefer calmer play, there’s something for everyone—and plenty of shaded loungers for a break between slides.
Enjoy the Bright Lights of Pafos Luna Park
Pafos Luna Park is a small amusement park in Yeroskipou, near Rikkos Beach. The park’s attractions are primarily for children aged 4–10, but you can also find activities for younger children and babies. The attractions include a mini-train, bumper cars, mini-motorcycles, mini-gocarts, an inflatable jumping castle, trampolines, and carrousels (all for children only). There is also an indoor area with arcade games and flipper machines.
The park also has a small restaurant and bar that serves pizzas, sandwiches, pancakes, smoothies, and sweets.
Set Sail with a Family Boat Trip
A boat trip is a fantastic way to experience Paphos from the sea. Many operators offer short cruises suitable for families, including glass-bottom boats, swimming stops, and snacks on board.
Children will love the novelty of being on the water, and parents will appreciate the views, the breeze, the sunset and the opportunity to explore coves, caves, and the sea with their children.
Stroll Along the Paphos Coastal Path
Some of the best family moments are simple and cost nothing. A walk along the coastal promenade in Paphos—especially in the evening—can be enriching. Watch the sunset near the castle, stop for ice cream at the harbor, or let the kids run along the seafront paths. Paphos is one of the safest cities in the world for family activities.
