Paphos’ rich history and culture continue to captivate visitors from all over the world, drawing them to explore every corner of the city. The old town has undergone a remarkable transformation, blending the charm of the past with a modern twist. At the heart of it all stands the beautifully renovated Hani of Ibrahim (Ibrahim’s Khan), where contemporary architectural touches enhance the historic brickwork. Here are three fantastic reasons why you should visit.

Step into a place where traders and merchants once gathered at the center of the city! For decades in the early 20th century, this was the hub for people from across the island, a meeting point for travelers moving from district to district. However, by the 1960s, the building fell into disuse and was eventually repurposed as workshops.

Now, the Hani is reviving the spirit of its past, with a focus on traditional crafts and local goods. You can explore workshops for woodcarving, mosaics, and painting, offering a hands-on experience of the island’s rich artistic heritage. For a taste of local flavors, don't miss the pure carob syrup available for purchase, and jewellery enthusiasts will be thrilled by the exquisite creations on display in the small jewellery shop.

As you enter the Hani, you’ll be greeted by an eye-catching multi-colored crochet installation created by Peace2Peace. Inside, you’ll encounter more artwork—though a bit unusual, as massive insects crawl up one of the walls, adding a quirky, modern touch to the historical surroundings.
