Pafos (Paphos)
Pafos (Paphos) located in the west coast of Cyprus is known as the birthplace of Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of beauty and love. Pafos is surrounded by an air of romance and seduces its visitors with its majestic landscape, historical sites, beautiful coastline, medieval pafos monasteries, byzantine churches and delightful villages where tradition is still a way of life. Opt to stay in one of the many available traditional houses and move ahead to explore the countryside and tranquil villages where the old traditions and customs have been kept alive.
The famous Petra tou Romiou (Aphrodite’s Rock) is located on the west coast, approximately halfway between Lemesos and Pafos highway. It is propably one of the most beautiful and most photographed places in Cyprus. The rock’s history, enshrouded in myth and legend, is captivating. It is famous as, according to the myth, the place where Aphrodite was borne ashore on the sea foam. Another story, is that the legendary Greek giant hero, Digenis Akritas, hurled the giant rock into the sea to destroy enemy Saracen ships.
During the Hellenistic and Roman times Pafos was the capital of Cyprus. Bursting with ancient sites, Pafos is of such outstanding historical value that UNESCO added it to their World Cultural Heritage list. The exquisite floor mosaics – which date from between the 2nd and 5th century AD and depict scenes from Greek mythology, the underground Tombs of the Kings – an impressive former burial site that overlooks the Mediterranean, St Paul’s pillar, the medieval castle are among the most interesting places of interest.
The city is composed of two distinct districts: the touristic Kato (lower) Pafos and the older, more characterful Ktima (Upper Pafos). Developing through modern times Pafos boasts to have luxurious accommodation facilities, quality service, cosmopolitan nightlife and premier golf resorts. Next to the romantic harbour and the medieval castle visitors can enjoy culture under the stars, such as the annual opera performance.
