Aphrodite Water Park, Paphos: practical guide for first-time visitors

The Aphrodite Water Park is the biggest water park in the Paphos region of Cyprus, naturally landscaped into a hillside near Kato Paphos.

Some older guides still quote adult entry at €30 with a 15% online discount, but the current price is €36 for a one-day adult ticket, with online booking still working out cheaper than paying at the gate. You can book through Viator to secure your entry in advance.

From Coral Bay or the Tombs of the Kings road, take bus 615 first; from the Old Town, take bus 610; both connect to the 611 at the harbour. By hotel shuttle, a paid pick-up and drop-off service is also available, bookable through the park’s own ticket shop, with stops across Paphos and Coral Bay, though it must be booked by 4pm the day before your visit.

Free parking is available directly in front of the park.

How long to spend at the Aphrodite Water Park

Plan for a full day. You’re free to leave and re-enter on the same day, as long as you settle any outstanding bill on your wristband before heading back out.

Accessibility at the Aphrodite Water Park

The park lists disabled accessibility facilities among its on-site amenities, but doesn’t publish a fixed policy for visitors with disabilities, since needs vary so much from person to person. If you or someone in your group needs specific support, it’s best to contact the park directly by email or phone before your visit so staff can advise you.

What to see at the Aphrodite Water Park

The extreme slides include the Kamikaze, one of the park’s most prominent features, alongside the Free Fall, a 50-foot vertical drop, the twisting Adventure slide, and the Twister, Aqua Infinity, and Nautilous Screw for those chasing speed and darkness.

The Super Volcano and Cross Over test strength, balance, and coordination away from the slides, for a different kind of challenge.

The Pirate Ship, Wet Bubble, and Kids Pool are designed for younger children, with smaller slides and a dedicated splash area alongside space for parents to watch from nearby.

The Lazy River, Wave Pool, and Family Rafting offer a gentler pace, suitable for young children when accompanied by an adult, and popular with visitors of every age.

The Raging River and Leisure Pool round out the park, one for a spinning tube ride and the other for simply relaxing between attractions.
