church of agia kyriaki and post st. paul印象

what a little gem. The church is worth a visit, being used by the orthodox, Catholic and Anglican congregations. The archaeology is well presented and explained. Worth a visit

This church is tucked behind Debenhams in the harbour area - it is a beautiful Greek orthodox church, dedicated unusually to a female saint, set amidst the ruins of a Roman Basilica and previous churches. The church is open for any visitors interested in it's historic past but it also hosts the Catholic and Anglican communities of Paphos. We went to the 8:15 a.m. Anglican Eucharist but various other services are held on Sunday and throughout the week (times are advertised on the notice board at the entrance) visitors are welcomed and there seems to be a healthy congregation for every service. The atmosphere of the church is very special and we will definitely be returning

A very ancient church and religious site, still serving the Anglican and Greek Orthodox communities today, surrounded by beautiful mosaics, tombs and artefacts from an earlier period. It is the third church to have been built on that site, and contains in the grounds the marble pillar at which Saint Paul is reputed to have been flogged on his arrival in Cyprus from the Holy Land to spread the message of Christianity. A newly opened walkway covers the outer grounds, suitable for wheelchair users, so you can see in close-up the areas which were previously off limits to walk around. Visitors are welcome to join in congregational services or to attend one of the organ recitals or concerts which take place from time to time.

Just behind Debenhams this site is a true treasure which you can visit for free. Roman Catholic church holds daily masses in English here, check them on www.stpauls-catholic-parish-paphos.com. The church dates to the 14.-15. century but the site has been a place of many other basilicas from early Christianity onwards. It is also a site where St Paul was tied to the pillar and flogged by Paphos citizens in 45 A.D. when he visited the city. The site has seen Francis of Assisi as well and some of this amazing history can be seen in the archaeological remains with beautiful mosaics. I visited the site twice, it is magical at dusk with dim lighting.

Entering this beautiful building o e can't help but e impressed by the wonderful architecture and the over whelming feeling of peace and history. On Sunday evenings the church is congreated by the Anglican community of Paphos. Over theater 5 years when visiting g as a holiday maker I have enjoyed the friendliness of services here in a church that has a history going back to the time of St Paul the Apostle.

In contrast to a lot of Paphos, this felt very tranquil. The way the site has been excavated and presented gives a real feel for the different churches which have existed there over the centuries

This site is easy to get to by public transport and is basically at the back of Debenhams (!). There is board walk right round the site so it is fully wheelchair accessible and there are lots of very informative signs in Greek and English. If the church is open it is worth going inside to see all the icons. The Church is shared by Anglican, Catholic and Greek Orthodox who each have a service relatively frequently on Sundays.

A wonderfully looked after church, take your time and soak up the atmosphere. Light a candle and make a prayer for your lost ones. You can leave their names for them to be prayed for at mass.

The church of Agia Kyriaki was built around 1500AD on the site of a small church that was destroyed by an earthquake. After the Turkish invasion of 1570 it came the Byzantine Cathedral of Lower Paphos.It is a beautiful church with a wonderful interior .Services are held for the Catholic and Anglican communities and also weddings. It has easy access for wheelchairs .It's a short walk from the harbour and is usually open even when services are not taking place.

This church, set in ruins of a bigger much earlier church, has a pillar in the grounds where St Paul was reputed to have been lashed. After lying empty for many years it was brought back into use about 10 years ago, and there are now Anglican and Catholic services held here. Worth a visit.
