Paphos

Paphos is a town at the southwestern tip of Cyprus, between the coast and the Troodos Mountains, situated on the south-west coast of Cyprus is capital of the district, and historically one of the most important centers on the island. 

Paphos is renowned as the birthplace of Greek goddess Aphrodite. Modern-day Paphos is divided in two, with the upper section up the hill being the commercial center, and lower Kato Paphos containing the main archaeological points of interest, as well as most hotels and tavernas.

The local municipality has made great efforts in recent years to improve Paphos area, which combines hotels, bars and restaurants along a coastal strip a few km long. There is a newly built front/'promenade' leading round to the marina and a long coastal path with amazing views - perfect for a morning or evening stroll.

Add to this a lovely subtropical climate, where the changes of season are miraculously distinct. Springtime signals colorful splashes of flowers, fruit and fauna. In the summertime the wondrous Pafos beaches invite sunning and swimming in the clear Mediterranean waters. Autumn is the perfect time to experience the sheer, natural beauty of the Akamas Peninsula where the delicate balance of nature is kept intact. Winter is subtly cooler and within half an hour of Pafos the Troodos Mountains offer the opportunity for excellent skiing. Here in Pafos the purest traditions of Cyprus live on.
