Tsada
Spend a half‑day in Tsada for views and a short hike; stay in Paphos (1 night) and use it as a day‑trip base.
Tsada is a small hillside village 8 km NE of Paphos, perched at ~615 m. Its cooler climate, panoramic Ezousa Valley views and easy walks make it a pleasant half‑day stop. With limited bus service, most visitors stay in Paphos and drive or taxi to Tsada for a quick visit.
