Beschrijving
Paphos Castle is located on the edge of Paphos harbour. It was originally built as a Byzantine fort to protect the harbour. It was then rebuilt by the Lusignans in the thirteenth century after being destroyed in the earthquake of 1222. In 1570 it was dismantled by the Venetians. After capturing the island, the Ottomans restored and strengthened it. Throughout the ages it has seen many uses. It has served as a fortress, a prison and even a warehouse for salt during the British occupation of the island. More recently the castle serves as a backdrop to the annual open air Paphos cultural festival which takes place in September.
It was declared a listed building in 1935 and represents one of the most distinctive landmarks of the city of Paphos. Several archaeological excavations have taken place to investigate its past. (Wikipedia)
The cache is hidden outside the castle walls near the western corner. You don't have to enter the castle to find it. Please beware of the crowds during touristic season. It may be better to search at night or early morning. Please pay close attention to the cache camouflage and leave it as you found it.
Afterwards you can take a romantic walk along the seashore holding hands ;). The path will take you to the excavations called Tombs of The Kings. On the way you can spot a picturesque lighthouse.
The cache initially contains: a logbook, a pencil and a few Polish coins for trade.
