The P3A Paphos Astronomy Group meets monthly to host talks and lectures on anything within the field of astronomy, for all knowledge levels.

Come along for an educational, entertaining & observing evening as well as enjoy a wonderful 3 course meal. Paphos Astronomy Club was founded by a group of mostly British expatriates living in and around Paphos, Cyprus in 2000. On 1st May 2025, the Club merged with the Paphos Third Age organisation and became the P3A Astronomy Group. Members meet monthly throughout the year except for August. Meetings are scheduled around the appearance of the New Moon to allow observing the night sky at the end of each evening. For the remainder of 2025, meetings are held on the 1st Wednesday of each month. Our meeting place is on the slopes of the hills above Paphos, at the Vatouthkia Restaurant and Taverna, from which we have goods views of the western night skies. The Group owns two binoculars and has access to a 100mm (four inch) computerised Go-To telescope, and several members have their own. Members are also encouraged to bring their own telescopes and binoculars to meetings. Members meet in the spirit of good fellowship in pursuit of a common interest in astronomy. A typical meeting would be attended by about 30 members plus their guests. During the course of the evening there will be an illustrated talk or presentation followed by a meal (which is optional, for a cost of €20), followed by observing - if the weather is kind. The Group welcomes new members at any time, and if you are not yet a member of the Paphos 3rd Age, a non-membership fee of €3 is applicable per person on the night. If you would like to come along, please contact the Group Coordinator, Carolyn Hart at [email protected].

Hello Everyone,
Our next meeting will be at 18:30 on Wednesday 9th Sept at the Vatouthkia restaurant in Tala / Kouli.
The group is part of the Paphos Third Age organisation (paphos3rdage.org/ astronomy-group).
We have about 35 - 45 members regularly attend each meeting.
The group has its own 200 mm Go-To SCT 'scope plus binoculars. We observe each meeting (if the clouds keep away!) but do organise dedicated observing sessions as well.
If you would like to come, please e-mail our membership coordinator at [email protected].
Hope to see you there. David
