Paphos Cyprus

Situated on the south west coast of Cyprus, Paphos is a magnet for visitors of all ages. It's steeped in history, with a wealth of ancient sites, some dating back to the 4th century BC, and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Paphos is famous as the birthplace of the Greek goddess Aphrodite. Modern-day Paphos is split into two parts, the upper area, known as Ktima, is the commercial centre and the old centre of Paphos, which is perched on a high rocky edge and overlooks the second part. The second part is known as Kato Paphos and it's here you'll find the main archaeological points of interest, like medieval baths, catacombs and a simple fishermen’s church, as well as the Paphos Archaeological Site, which is home to a number of attractions, including the House of Dionysos and the House of Theseus, both ruins of large Roman villas famous for their mosaics. The surrounding area is countryside, rich in vegetation with banana plantations, citrus groves and vineyards which lead on inland to the gentle foothills of the Western Troodos Mountains. Paphos is a fascinating city with all sorts of ancient ruins and areas of exquisite natural beauty. It's also a fantastic holiday resort where you can enjoy beautiful beaches and lovely taverns serving delicious food.
