Viewing platform south of Paphos lighthouse

This stone viewing platform stands near Paphos lighthouse and offers views across the Mediterranean Sea and surrounding coastal landscapes. The approximately 2-meter-high location provides perspectives over the bay and the archaeological remains that define this UNESCO World Heritage area.

The platform sits within the Paphos Archaeological Park, a region shaped by Roman settlements that later earned UNESCO World Heritage recognition. This location connects the site with centuries of maritime trade and human settlement along this coastline.

Local fishermen gather at this vantage point to observe weather conditions and plan their maritime activities according to Mediterranean traditions.

The platform is accessible year-round and offers unobstructed views for sunrise and sunset over the Mediterranean. Visitors should expect windy conditions, especially when gusts come across the open water.

The viewing deck's position allows visitors to spot traditional fishing boats returning to harbor while Mediterranean birds circle above the coastline.
