Paphos is one of Cyprus’s most historic and beautiful coastal towns, known for its ancient city-kingdom heritage, charming harbour, luxury resorts, and authentic local dining experiences. This attractive west coast destination combines Mediterranean holiday comfort with rich culture, scenic landscapes, and fascinating archaeological treasures.

The heart of Paphos is its picturesque harbour, where open-air seafood restaurants overlook the sea and the famous Byzantine Castle. The town offers a relaxed holiday atmosphere, with five-star and four-star hotels along the coastline, traditional taverns, souvenir shops, and lively seaside areas.

Kato Paphos, the lower part of the town near the sea, is home to the harbour, beautiful hotels, and some of the island’s most important archaeological sites. The upper part of Paphos adds a more traditional character, with elegant classical-style buildings and a pleasant shopping area.

Paphos also holds an important place in Cypriot history, as it once became the capital of Cyprus under the successors of Alexander the Great. Its harbour was a busy and successful port, and the town remained one of the island’s most important cities for many centuries, including during Roman rule.

The area is closely connected with Greek mythology, especially the legend of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty. Visitors can explore famous landmarks linked to her story, including Aphrodite’s Rock, the Sanctuary of Aphrodite in Kouklia, the Baths of Aphrodite near Polis, and the Fontana Amorosa on the Akamas Peninsula.

Paphos offers many unforgettable highlights, including Paphos Harbour and Castle, the Paphos Mosaics and Archaeological Park, Aphrodite’s Rock, Coral Bay, Adonis Baths, the House of Dionysus, the Blue Lagoon, St Paul’s Pillar, the Tombs of the Kings, Kouklia and the Aphrodite Sanctuary, and Aphrodite’s Baths.
