Paphos – Culture, Heritage & Beaches

Once the ancient capital in Roman times, Paphos has a remarkable history dating back to the 4th century BC.  It was here where the mythological Goddess Aphrodite rose from the waves at the strikingly beautiful spot of Aphrodite’s Rock and where 3,000 year old beautifully preserved mosaics were uncovered in the House of Dionysos.  In fact the area of Kato Paphos is steeped in so much historical importance to the island that the area, as a whole, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  

The Paphos district extends through to the beaches of Coral Bay and it’s seafront hotels and up towards small, traditional villages as well as the small resort town of Polis and fishing harbour of Latchi. Further west, endangered Loggerhead and Green Turtles lay their eggs at Lara Bay and jeep safaris take you on a wild west adventure through the nature preserve of the Akamas region.  There is so much to discover and enjoy in the Paphos district combining undisturbed nature, Blue Flag beaches, culture, religious sites and a popular European resort with international restaurants, bars and cultural centres.

​For all it’s rich and ancient past, Paphos has embraced the modern era and enjoys it’s status as one of the busiest holiday resorts on the island and a popular residential destination.
