Paphos is the westernmost town of Cyprus. The city has been known by various names throughout the centuries for example NEA Paphos and Ktima. Following a ministerial council decision its name was changed to Paphos and remains so to the present day. However some of the old people are still using the old names for some areas of Paphos.
