Oldest Ficus Tree

Standing beside the archaeological district on Apostolou Pavlou Avenue in Paphos, the Oldest Ficus Tree is a striking natural landmark that visitors often spot while walking past. Reviewers describe it as one of the biggest rubber ficus trees they have ever seen, with several noting it is reputed to be more than two hundred years old. The tree's broad canopy casts welcome shade, which today mostly shelters cars, as the surrounding ground has been turned into an informal parking area.

Because there is no seating, landscaping or recreation space, most visitors treat it as a quick photo stop rather than a destination in its own right. Several reviewers comment that the setting feels neglected, with dust, mud and litter detracting from what could otherwise be an impressive green landmark in the heart of Paphos. It remains worth a brief look if you are already exploring the area on foot.
