Paphos Area holidays
This south-west corner of Cyprus has an ambience all of its own: soft breezes, old stone, elusive enchantment and an air of antiquity. This is the kingdom of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and her presence seems to linger. Paphos itself is really two towns, each with its own character; Ktima on the cliff and Kato Paphos by the sea, two kilometres down the road. The one is unchanged over centuries and thoroughly Cypriot while the other has expanded over the last twenty years from a sleepy fishing village and harbour into a bustling, busy, sprawling cosmopolitan resort which is still growing and is the centre for the island’s overseas property boom. Roman Paphos was the island’s capital, and the 3rd century mosaics here are the finest in the Mediterranean.

The atmosphere is funloving and friendly, with plenty of bars, pubs, discos, nightclubs and innumerable eating places providing anything from choice Italian cuisine to sizzling souvlaki off the spit. Swimming in the bay’s deep, clear waters is good. The coastline to the north is peppered with small sandy coves but the area’s best beach is a 15 minute drive away at Coral Bay. Paphos is the main resort centre from which to explore this region of wild coastline, unspoilt hillside villages and natural beauty. It takes less than an hour by car to reach Limassol.
