This is one of Cyprus’ quieter and more traditional areas. Paphos has grown in recent years but has not entirely lost its small town charm. The modern town is split in two sections, Kato Paphos being the tourist area with its many cafes, bars and restaurants stretching out along the seafront to the old fort, where you can eat, drink and watch the boats and yachts as they come and go. Upper Paphos (Kitma) contains the main commercial centre with shops and modern museums. Paphos is steeped in history, a visit to the Tomb of the Kings a must.

To the West lying in shallow coastal waters is the unusual rock formation Petra Tou Romiou, better known as Aphrodite’s Rock, it was here the mythological goddess of beauty was born, and without doubt the most famous spot in Cyprus. Modern day Paphos boasts all the modern facilities you would expect for a great family holiday including water parks, cinema, bowling, go karting, horse riding etc.

To the east of Paphos lies Coral Bay, with its many hotels, restaurants and bars it also has one of the finest stretches of sandy beach in Cyprus. Here water sports are in abundance for the more energetic!

Overlooking Coral Bay is the town of Peiga, noted for its excellent, traditional taverns in and around the Square. They serve some of the best cuisine in Cyprus. In the hills around Paphos you will find many old world Greek villages including Droshia. It is 600m above sea level with stunning views over Polis Bay. For golfing enthusiasts there are two 18 hole courses just a 15 minute drive away, Secret Valley and Tsada providing the very highest standard of facilities in Cyprus. Paphos is without a doubt an excellent choice for all the family.
