Directions for entering harbour:
The port should be approached with caution.
From N, pass at least 1 mile W of Orphourous Islet (NO TAG) and Paphos Point, and then head in towards the anchorage or to the harbour entrance leading line.
Approaching from S, either steer for the W extremity of Paphos Point on a line of bearing of 338°, or steer along the alignment (009°) of the following marks:
Beacon (white) (34°45¢×3N 32°24¢×3E).
Paphos Point Light (3Ύ cables N of beacon) (NO TAG).
This alignment also clears W of Moulia Rocks (34°43¢N 32°26¢E) (NO TAG).
Thence from a position about 6 cables SE of the harbour entrance, the track leads NW into the harbour, passing between two light-buoys (lateral) moored off the heads of the harbour breakwaters.
Useful marks:
Light, exhibited from the head of the SW breakwater.
Moulia Rocks Light (34°43¢N 32°26¢E).
