The Paphos District
Due to Cyprus’ location at the crossroads of Asia, Africa and Europe, the island has attracted tourists for thousands of years. With so many fascinating and fun places to see and visit, adults and children alike will never forget their trip to their Cyprus holiday rental here. Food reflects the divide between north and south. In the south, you’ll find mostly Greek food. The whole of the island offers delicious fruit, mezze (variety of tapas-like small plates) and kleftiko (very slow cooked tender lamb dish). Cyprus is a fantastic place to spend your hard-earned money. Across the island, you will find fantastic gift shops, exquisite jewellers and beautiful lace shops. The lace here is all handmade and although it may be more expensive in the resorts, it is very good value for money. Just a few reasons for making a holiday rental in Cyprus.
HISTORY & LEGEND: Paphos - Ancient Capital of the west of Cyprus, rich in history – a charming fishing harbour, lined with open-air cafes and tavernas, and a historic site with well preserved ancient mosaics et cetera.
The legendary birthplace of Aphrodite, mythological goddess of beauty and love. The rock formation 'Petra Tou Romiou' (the Venus rock) marks where she is said to have risen from the sea. The Bath's of Aphrodite at Polis and 'Fontana Amorosa' (fountain of love) are also her links with the island.
This island's remarkable history has the area of Paphos listed in UNESCO’s world heritage sites.
CLIMATE: 300 days of sunshine, Mediterranean, with hot summers and short mild Spring-like winters. Snow falls on the nearby Troodos mountains in January/February. You could take a ski trip and a game of golf or a swim in the same day!
TREASURES: The ancient Tombs of the Kings date to 4th century BC. Amazing mosaics near the harbour have been beautifully preserved after 16 centuries. No visit is complete without a visit to these sights.

How to get there
FLIGHTS direct to Paphos can be found readily through websites like www.TravelRepublic.co.uk, lastminute.com and flightsdirect.com. Easyjet operates in 2009. Look for Charter flight deals if you can fit in with their dates. Flight prices vary considerably depending on the time you travel, so it's a good idea to shop around. Generally speaking, the earlier you book, the cheaper your flights will be. From Stansted or Luton, First Choice and Thomson usually offer the best deals. If Gatwick is your local airport, try Easyjet. But book early to be sure of a flight. Some cheaper flights go via Manchester.
There are taxi transfers from Paphos Airport (approx 20 km). Taxis can be arranged at around €30. (Casual taxis are more).
This apartment is one of the best locations in Queen's Gardens; probably the best apartment complex in Kato Paphos, centrally located on The Tomb of the Kings Road, close to the restaurants, tourist areas, harbour, beach and other amenities.

Guestbook for Queen's Gardens, Paphos
"We were looking for a 'home from home' and that's exactly what we got. The apartment and complex was everything the advert stated. The apartment had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The balcony gets the sun during the day which was an added bonus. The complex is extremely well situated, there is a bus stop right outside that will take you to various places ie the old town, Coral Bay etc,. There are shops, supermarkets, restaurants, internet cafe's etc, all on your doorstep. The beach is a few mins walk away and leads to some fantastic coastal walks, if your a walker you will really enjoy them. The harbour is about 15 - 20 mins away. The complex itself has stunning gardens and a pool that are well maintained and a great place to relax and watch the world go by. There are loads of places to eat, there were some we really enjoyed, one is a traditional kebab house at the back of the complex where we often got a takeaway, the kebabs were great! The others are Pukkets (which is on Tombs of the Kings road) and the Raj which is about 15 mins walk away. Overall we had a fantastic time and will be going back. If your thinking of going to this apt, go for it you'll have a great time!!" Carol and Ian, May 2009
"Hi Richard, We are home safe and sound after a fantastic holiday staying at your lovely apartment. We found it to be one of the best located we have ever stayed at. The decor is very modern and equipped to a high standard. We kind of fell in love with Paphos , so much so that we are returning next year. Not forgetting the pool area, we found it very well looked after and relaxing." Kind Regards Linda & Hugh C,
"We had a lovely time, it was perfect for us , and William loved it! you didn't tell us that Uri Geller was a neighbour!! i have emailed the apartment details to a friend of mine, so hopefully he will make a booking with you for next year." Lee, Cherilyn
"The apartment is always in mind for return trips - perhaps in 2009. We are extremely fond of Paphos. Needless to say your apartment was lovely, yet again, and has everything required for a nice break away." CD
"“The apartment was lovely and spacious and had everything we needed. The balcony was well used and it was relaxing listening to the waterfalls outside. And the pool was good for cooling down after a hot day out, and there were spare lilo’s at the side which we used. The location was perfect for us as it was approx. 20 minutes walk to the harbour, restaurants and mosaics, 20 mins to the Tomb of the Kings, and 20 mins to the old town, so we could walk to everywhere we wanted to go in a short time. And as the roads were lit at night we could walk into town and back safely. The selection of restaurants and bars nearby was excellent, and quite a few had a 3 course meal for €9 or €10 each. A lot of the bars had offers on as well." Christine & Kevin
"We had a wonderful week at your apartment so thank you very much, the pool area was fantastic for Libby, our little girl, and the other families had a great time too. Although I think the position of your apartment is by far the best! Many thanks once again!" Kind regards, LS
"We enjoyed Paphos and we found your apartment, as well as being very stylish, comfortable and well presented, was well placed for easy access to all areas of the town both on foot and by car. So we could leave the car when we wanted to sample the Ouzo. It would be a good base for anyone who might not want to drive. When we return to Paphos we'll definitely rent your apartment again and in the meantime we'd recommend you to our friends and anyone who might be reading this. Thanks for all your help and a full and well informed guest book..... You've got a lovely apartment and I'm sure like us people appreciate your efforts to offer an up market place." Kit P.
"Your apartment was first class and everything was OK I would have no hesitation about booking again. When we got there we found bread milk butter wine and umpteen odds and ends left by previous tenants. “Just a line to let you know how much we enjoyed our holiday in Paphos. The apartment was first class, just like your photographs, it was lovely and peaceful at night time even though it is right in the middle of all the night time entertainment.We would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone thinking of a holiday in Paphos.The new walkway only just finished from the old fort in the harbour along the sea front to just past the Laura Hotel is a must for anyone whe has not been to Paphos for a while, it is a circular walk of just over two miles from the apartment and back just in time for breakfast.I think that you will be hearing from us again, meanwhile regards and best wishes” MB
