I know the spelling has recently been changed to make it easier for brits and other foreigners and it is now officially spelt Pafos on maps etc but it has never had a T in it.
Please please please stop calling it Pathos.
Veronica,
I couldn't agree more.... I know a few people that live in Paphos/Peyia area and they call it 'Pathos'! Funny, so many people put 'F' instead of 'TH' in English... Fink, fumb, free (3) etc. but give them a word that should be 'F' and they change it the other way! Eye car knot sea wye hit wood bee shed like that!
