 Louis Phaethon Bowling Club

A very warm welcome to the Louis Phaethon Bowling Club located in Paphos on the coast of the lovely Mediterranean island of Cyprus. The green is within the grounds of the popular Louis Phaethon Beach Hotel on Aphrodite Avenue in Paphos. 

The membership, at present, is just under 70 members, the majority of whom took up the game when they moved to Cyprus. They have two very experienced coaches who can provide potential new members with free coaching! They have regular bowls competitions for the more competitive amongst them, as well as a very active social calendar, with organised activities every month of the year, including dinner dances, games evenings, quizzes, the occasional visit to the Nicosia racetrack and even a donkey safari!

During the winter months in Cyprus they also have a number of friendly matches against visiting UK Bowls Clubs. If your club wishes to arrange games against the Louis Phaethon during your tour, please contact our Match Secretary.

They are a member of Bowls Cyprus, the national association for bowling in Cyprus, and regularly compete against the other three clubs on the island in national competitions and leagues. Bowls Cyprus has an international squad and has already competed in competitions throughout the world.

About Paphos Cyprus: Town of Aphrodite

The charming west coast town of Paphos focusses around an attractive little harbour whose picturesque open air fish restaurants line a quayside of bright fishing boats and pleasure craft.

With a population of just 28.000 Paphos nestles In the lee of the Western Troodos Mountains, which add another dimension to this area of scenic beauty. The recent addition of its own international airport nearby has opened up the Paphos area, and the resort is graced with some luxury hotels along the coastline.

Paphos has an air of holiday charm combined with history, and olden-day elegance is lent to the town by its classical style buildings in the upper part of town which leads to the shopping area. The lower part of the town - known as Kato Paphos has a life of its own albeit so close by, down near the sea -home of the harbour, the fish tavernas, souvenir shops and several beautiful hotels with important archaeological sites around them.

Paphos is entwined with Greek mythology, and the legendary birth of Afrodite on her shores brought fame and worshippers there to follow the cult of the Goddess.

Landmarks associated with Afrodite are the chunky, rugged rocks of her beautiful birthshore known as the Afrodite Rocks or "Petra tou Romiou", the evocative sanctuary of Afrodite at Kouklia Village, one-time shrine and scene of pagan festivals for thousands, the Baths of Afrodite at Polis, supposed source of fertility and the Fountain of Love, or Fontana Amorosa, a few miles further into the Akamas Peninsula.

Even the town's name is linked to the Goddess, for Paphos was the name of the mythological daughter of Venus and Pygmalion.

Paphos became the capital of Cyprus under the successors of Alexander the Great - the Ptolemies and in those days its harbour was a busy, thriving port. It continued as the island's first city for more than seven centuries, retaining its importance under Roman rule Its most famous Governor Sergius Paulus, was converted to Christianity by St Paul in 45 AD.

But Paphos history dates back a great deal further. In fact the whole area abounds in historical and archaeological treasures.
