What’s the experience like?

I didn’t expect to feel nervous stepping onto a Segway at 8am in Paphos—honestly, I thought I’d fall off straight away. But our guide Andreas just grinned and said, “First time for everyone!” The air was salty and a bit cool, but the sun was already painting gold on the stones. After a few wobbly circles in the parking lot (my partner nearly crashed into a bush—no one tell him I wrote that), we set off toward the medieval fort.

The city felt half-awake as we rolled along. I caught whiffs of strong coffee drifting from open doorways, and at one point an old man waved at us from his stoop—he had that slow Cypriot smile, like he’d seen it all before. Andreas pointed out where the ancient city walls used to stand; you could almost picture soldiers stomping around, except now it’s just pigeons and the odd stray cat. We stopped by St Paul’s Pillar, which looks simple at first until you hear about what happened there—I tried repeating its Greek name but definitely butchered it. Andreas laughed and told us about how pilgrims still come here every year.

The best part for me was gliding along the edge of the Paphos Archaeological Park, with ruins scattered everywhere—columns poking up like broken teeth, wildflowers growing between them. You get this weird feeling of moving through layers of time while dodging potholes (I nearly lost my balance staring at the lighthouse). The sea was right there too, blue and restless against the rocks. We paused by the Ottoman baths and I remember touching one of the old stones—it was warm already from the sun.

I still think about that early morning light on the shipwreck out in Limanaki bay—it looked both sad and kind of peaceful. The whole Segway tour is only a couple hours but you see so much more than you would walking, especially before the crowds wake up. And honestly? It’s just fun to glide past so much history with someone who actually grew up here telling you little stories along the way.
