Anxious actors and bodies of Paphos appear again for the great work of the unification of the archaeological sites of Kato Paphos, after the malfunctions that lead until today to the interruption of work. These bodies have been increasingly expressing their doubts in recent times as to whether everything will be complete in the summer season of 2021.
Essentially the only development perceived by the passing and visitors in the subject for two years, was the installation of the 400 meters long footbridge that will connect the western to the eastern part of the archaeological treasures of Kato Paphos, with one end being located at the point where the well-known Roman hotel is and the other on the hill of Fabrika. The footbridge passes at a great height above Apostle Paul Avenue, and will allow for an impressive shot to the walkers and visitors of antiquities, when however they will be able to visually enjoy the entire archaeological area of Paphos, after the progress of the wider works.
The great work of the unification of the archaeological sites of Kato Paphos, is considered one of the most important events of recent decades for the city and the province of Paphos, since it will now be possible to further highlight the rare archaeological wealth of Paphos internationally. That is why local authorities are now pushing increasingly hard to stop the image that has been prevailing for months at the entrance of the port area showing a construction site without any progress.
In this context, the Municipality of Paphos, with the agreed opinion and decision of the Minister of Transport, Communications and Works, undertook the promotion of the new competition itself, but in this case there are also problems and delays that have not so far allowed the award of the competition in order to re-enter the area.
