The Little Fisherman

Updated June 11, 2025

The Little Fisherman, a [bronze sculpture](https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-the-little-fisherman-a-bronze-sculpture-of-a-young-boy-and-a-large-127776208.html) created by local Paphos artist Yiota Ioannidou, stands as a beloved landmark on Poseidonos Avenue. This enchanting artwork depicts a young boy attempting to conceal an enormous fish, creating a scene both humorous and endearing. Situated on a small concrete pier jutting into the Mediterranean, the statue offers a perfect photo opportunity against the backdrop of Paphos’ picturesque harbor. While beautiful at any time, the sculpture takes on a particularly dramatic appearance during overcast weather, when the moody sky and churning sea create a striking contrast with the bronze figures. Visitors can easily [locate the statue](https://justpaphos.com/the-little-fisherman/) along the Paphos Promenade, not far from popular dining spots. The Little Fisherman serves as more than just a tourist attraction; it [embodies the spirit of Paphos](https://evendo.com/locations/cyprus/kato-paphos/attraction/the-little-fisherman) with its connection to the sea and playful representation of local culture.
