The old elevator
A second elevator is soon to be installed at Paphos old town municipal market car park, according to a municipality spokesman.
“This will make it far easier and more convenient for the public to access the ‘administration square’, the vegetable market, the parking lot and the Ottoman baths,” a spokesman said.
This week, the mayor of Paphos Phedonas Phedonos signed a relevant contract with T.E.P. Lifts Ltd, totalling €47,600.
“Work on the installation and maintenance of the second lift will begin immediately and will be completed within the next four months,” he said.
The lift currently in place has not been working properly for some time.
At the opposite side of the car park a new glass elevator was recently installed at a renovated square and coffee shop, it is operational and constantly in use.
In this area of Paphos old town, a couple of roads are currently closed as upgrading work is still ongoing and due to be completed imminently. This will see the creation of two new car parks, upgraded facades, new road surfaces and the removal of illegal structures.
