When in Paphos, Cyprus
The town of Paphos is located at the south-western end of Cyprus, between the Toodos Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. It is known for attracting lots of sun seeking tourists every year for a numbers of reasons. Paphos is renowned as the birthplace of Greek goddess Aphrodite. Evidence of the island’s past includes the main archaeological sites as well as most hotels and tavernas. They can be found in lower Kato Paphos by the sea. The Old Town of Paphos as well as the commercial centre and industrial district are located further inland.
If you are planning on exploring these areas, what are the best things to see and do? Well, here is a quick guide that also includes how to get there and the best time to visit.
