Paphos (Pafos), a city rich in history & culture, is a gem of western Cyprus. There is archaeological evidence supporting the city’s existence from the Neolithic period. Paphos, the birthplace of the Greek Goddess of love and beauty ‘Aphrodite’, proudly boasts the remains of villas, palaces, theatres, fortresses and tombs that belong to Classical, Hellenistic and Roman periods. Paphos is included in UNESCO’s list of world heritage sites as a natural and cultural treasure.

Paphos, roughly divided into Old Paphos and New Paphos, is famous for its white-sand beaches and various landlandmarks. It was a significant port during Roman times. Later, when the British colonized the island, it started losing its value. This small harbour has emerged as a an attractive tourist destination.
