Axiothea Hotel

Axiothea Hotel is a 2-star hotel at 2 Ivi Malioti Street in Ktima, the old upper town of Paphos in southwest Cyprus. It occupies an old-town building and is among the few central places to stay above the harbour, which gives it a different character from the beachfront resorts of Kato Paphos. Ktima holds the municipal market, the Ethnological Museum and a number of Ottoman and colonial-era buildings, and the lower town with the harbour, the medieval fort and the Paphos Archaeological Park is a downhill walk or short taxi ride away. Paphos International Airport is roughly 12 km to the southeast. The hotel is a budget base aimed at independent travellers, backpackers and visitors who prefer a traditional town setting to a resort. Room types are listed as double rooms, twin rooms and family rooms, with air conditioning and Wi-Fi. Facilities include a pool or shared terrace, so the property is simple rather than amenity-heavy. There is no beach on the doorstep, so sea swimming means a bus or taxi ride to the coast. Dining is easy to find in Ktima, where local cafes and tavernas serve residents as well as visitors, and the evening atmosphere is quieter than at the harbour. Indicative double-room rates run from about EUR 40 to EUR 80 (about USD 46 to USD 92) per night depending on season, which makes it one of the cheapest central options. Visitors typically use it for sightseeing on foot, with the old town and market on the doorstep. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons for walking the hilly streets.
