©
The legendary birthplace of the Greek goddess Aphrodite and the capital of western Cyprus, the city of Paphos showcases an abundance of archaeological, architectural, and historical sites.Visit Tombs of the Kings and The Sanctuary Of Apollo for their historical value. Visiting Coral Bay and Safaris will get you outdoors. Venture out of the city with trips to Aphrodite's Rock (in Kouklia), Limassol City (Room Escape Games & Kourion Beach) and Pissouri (Pissouri Beach & Barefoot Designs). There's still lots to do: delve into the distant past at The House of Dionysus, explore the world behind art at Chakra Fine Art Gallery & Culture Centre, relax and rejuvenate at some of the best spas, and explore the historical opulence of Paphos Harbour Castle.

Cyprus travel guide
From sandy beaches to stone castles, and from bustling nightclubs to romantic tavernas, Cyprus is the perfect destination for those who seek a complete Mediterranean experience. Many civilizations have left their mark on the island's long and vibrant history, and consequently its customs, cuisine, and architecture. Beyond the divide between the predominantly Greek south and Turkish north, throughout the island you'll recognize Venetian, Genoese, British, and Middle Eastern influences. Of course, the main attraction that draws tourists from all over the world is the sunny coast, dotted with historical cities and fully equipped beaches. There is also a selection of peaceful villages, both inland and by the sea, where those looking for a more secluded holiday can retreat. A visit to the country's capital Nicosia, with its vibrant art and culture scene and numerous sightseeing opportunities, is definitely worth adding to your itinerary wherever you're staying.
