Weather…

The port at Pomos Fishing Shelter is a key gateway in Cyprus, linking the island to the wider eastern Mediterranean for shipping, fishing and tourism. A small, scenic fishing harbour in a remote and beautiful part of the Paphos district. Depending on scale, the facility may combine cargo quays, fishing basins, yacht and cruise berths, repair yards, fuel depots and customs zones, all backed by modern navigation and safety systems. Around the harbour you typically find promenades, fish tavernas and small shops that give the town its distinctive maritime character. The site shows how logistics, trade and leisure intertwine and underlines how critical sea routes remain for the island's supply and exports.
