Region
Paphos, a coastal city in the southwest of Cyprus, is a destination steeped in history, culture and natural beauty. Renowned for its archaeological treasures, vibrant atmosphere and stunning landscapes, Paphos offers a diverse range of attractions and activities that cater to all interests.
One of the city's most significant attractions is the Paphos Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that spans over one hundred acres. Visitors can wander through ancient ruins dating back to the Roman period, including well-preserved mosaics depicting scenes from Greek mythology. Paphos Castle, perched on the edge of the harbour, adds a touch of medieval charm to the city's skyline, offering a glimpse into its rich history. For those seeking a cultural experience, the Tombs of the Kings is another archaeological marvel. This necropolis, carved into the rock, served as the final resting place for high-ranking officials and nobles during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The intricate architecture and grandeur of the tombs provide a fascinating insight into the city's past.
Paphos is not just a haven for history enthusiasts. It also offers a vibrant waterfront sprinkled with cafes, restaurants and unique shops. Paphos Harbour is a hub of activity, where visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll, embark on boat trips or indulge in delicious fresh seafood at the local tavernas.

The park provides a refreshing escape from the Mediterranean sun and promises a day filled with laughter and excitement for the whole family.
Venturing beyond Paphos, the Akamas Peninsula National Park beckons nature lovers. This protected area boasts diverse landscapes, including rugged cliffs, dense forests and pristine beaches. Visitors can explore the park on foot, by bike or even on a boat tour, enjoying the unspoiled beauty of the Mediterranean coast. A short drive leads to the charming village of Kouklia, home to the Sanctuary of Aphrodite. This ancient site, dedicated to the goddess of love and beauty, features the remains of a temple and an archaeological museum. The village itself exudes traditional Cypriot charm, with narrow streets and local artisans showcasing their crafts. Heading eastward, the town of Polis Chrysochous offers a quieter atmosphere and access to the stunning Akamas Peninsula. Here, visitors can explore the Baths of Aphrodite, a legendary spot where, according to mythology, the goddess of love bathed. The surrounding trails and viewpoints provide breathtaking vistas of the rugged coastline. For those interested in a more cosmopolitan experience, the city of Limassol is a bustling hub of modernity. The Limassol Marina, with its luxury yachts, upscale boutiques and waterfront dining, provides a fabulous contrast to Paphos's historical charm.
