Paphos is a destination rich on both history and myth. The Greek goddess Aphrodite is said to have been born here. In this area nature tends to reflect legend as the love and beauty associated to Aphrodite emanate from the location.

Local Activities:
Tomb of the Kings
Spread over a vast area, these impressive underground tombs date back to the 4th Century BC. They are carved out of solid rock with some being decorated with Doric pillars. High officials rather than Kings were buried here, but the magnificence of the tombs gave the locality its name.
Churches
Churches and Basilicas – These make up a huge portion of the history of Paphos. Some of the ones which should not be missed including the Theoskepasti Church which is a typical example of a twentieth century religious building in Paphos. The Panayia Chrysopolitissa Church which highlights the Byzantine religious period and the Limeniotissa Basilica which dates all the way back to the fifth century.
The Ancient Odeon
The Odeon lies east of the light house, close to a rocky rise. Archaeologists have suggested it may be the site of the Acropolis. Most probably the Odeon was roofed, and was used for musical concerts and theatrical acts. It is not certain how many tiers of seats were in the Odeon. However it could accommodate a few thousand. It is believed the Odeon was most likely to have been destroyed by an earthquake.
Paphos Harbour
As Paphos was the capital during the Hellenistic-Roman time Harbour has experienced considerable activity. The harbour is well worth a visit to experience it's quaint shops, wide choice of restaurants and Tavernas serving traditional Greek fare are nestled around the waters edge. The harbour really comes alive at night; the Castle is illuminated and provides a lovely backdrop to this bustling area.
Catacomb of Saint Solomoni
The Catacomb can be found to the left of the Paphos-Harbour road, about one kilometre from the medieval fort. You have to descend twenty or so steps to find yourself in front of four subterranean chambers, a Holy well and an open courtyard. At a later stage the largest chamber was transformed into a church which was, originally, frescoed, traces of which can be seen today. Lower down in the second underground level, you will find the holy well, which, to this day, maintains a small trickle. The waters are said to have healing properties and are particularly good for treating eye conditions,while others refer to the treatment of Malaria.
Lempa
Lempa village is located 5 kilometres' from Paphos and is noted for having major historic significance. In it's pretty setting near the sea, Lempa's was the site of a chalcolithic settlement. Today the faithful reconstruction of several dwellings, gives an insight into chalcolithic life on the island. Near the site replicas of two houses from this period have been constructed.
Petra Tou Romiou
At this magnificent place of interest you can experience the fortitude of Aphrodite. It is here that the goddess of love and beauty emerged from the sea. Legends articulate that if you swim around the rock three times naked under a full moon, you will fall in love.

Dear Andrew and Tatiana
Just a quick note to say a huge thank you for the wonderful holiday in Cyprus. We all had a great time and loved your beautiful home and pool. The weather was so good we didn’t use the lounge or dining room and sat around the pool and ate outside. We found some super restaurants in Pafos so ate out each night. I don’t think any of us had appreciated what a huge island Cyprus is and just how hot it was going to be! We had a few trips out and a lovely afternoon at Pissouri Bay. Thanks once again for everything.
With very best wishes
Trixie
Dear Andrew
Thanks for everything - the extra year for taking the holiday, the welcome package and the directions!!!
Brilliant week relaxing in a superb villa and pool. September is good weather, Paphos is busy with plenty of Brits on holiday without being overfull and we all recharged our weary batteries.
The food is great and particularly liked the Gourmet.
Regards
Annton Vorderman
