A bad image for the thousands of visitors to Pafos during this period is the problematic illumination of the Castle in the harbour of the city, one of its most characteristic and visited monuments. This is denounced by businessmen of the region, who point out that since the beginning of Holy Week the medieval Castle has essentially been plunged into darkness, since only two spotlights operate from the lighting that illuminated it during the evening hours.
A projector on its roof and one on the back, towards the side of the open sea, reported to the "F" by businessmen in the area, are not enough to adequately illuminate the monument and give the picture of its importance. It should be immediately rectified since Kato Pafos is full of people these days.
A similar lack, denounced by the professionals of the port, is observed in the monument of Panagia Limniotissa, opposite the entrance of the Archaeological Park of Kato Pafos. It is a place that is increasingly visited.
These improvements, concluded by those operating in the port of Kato Pafos, are made even more necessary during this period due to the recovery in a spectacular way of the tourist flow. At this time, they point out, the coastal area has been "sunk" by foreign and local visitors after two years of devastation as a result of the pandemic, which is why deficiencies such as these should be addressed immediately by the competent authorities.
