Cyprus Insider

Bar street in Paphos has long been the focal point for the younger element of the tourist population during the summer in Paphos. However, despite the ongoing work that’s happening in the area tourist numbers are down and for every busy bar there are three empty ones. Whilst factors such as the attempted bombing at Glasgow airport has put some people off flying and therefore tourist trade is down generally across Cyprus the days when ‘Bar Street’ was buzzing seems to be over. Maybe the highways department should be looking at the fact that the constant ‘mess’ and road works in the area for the last 5 years or so has damaged the trade. Cyprus shoots itself in the foot yet again.
