Great Ports: Paphos
Where the sea meets the mountains, the Cypriot city is full of romance.
Located on the coast of Cyrpus, Paphos is included in the official UNESCO list of cultural and natural treasures of the world's heritage for its ancient ruins and was selected as a European Capital of Culture in 2017.
Ancient temples and enchanting turquoise seas are the lure of Paphos. Enjoy breathtaking views from many vantage points such as from Aphrodite’s Rock. Mythology has this as the birthplace of Aphrodite. Located between Limasol and Paphos, this is a must see for visitors.
In the old town, be sure to make time to relax in Adonis Baths, a beautiful lagoon and waterfall. Or if you prefer, visit the Castle and the Tomb of the Kings, a large necropolis located just outside the city walls of Paphos. Unlike its name suggest, it is not a burial ground for kings but for high level administrative officers, distinguished persons and their families. It is known for its impressive monuments to the deceased. Or perhaps you’ll visit the Odeon Amphitheater, one of the most important architectural sites in Cyprus.
