Paphos Municipality's carnival theme this year was Africa.

52 floats took part and numerous groups, schools, businesses and associations joined in on Saturday.

The main carnival parade started from outside the Almyra hotel and headed along Poseidonos Avenue which runs parallel to the seafront, and finished at the car park close to the archaeological park.

A huge "well done" to everyone who participated.

The Paphos carnival tradition started many years ago and the parade has been organised by the municipality since 1983.
