About this experience
Limassol and Paphos are separated by 70 kilometers filled with amazing places. We will stop at picturesque deserted beaches, in the authentic village of Kouklia, and at the ruins of the ancient city of Kourion. In Paphos itself, we will stroll through the historic center and modern neighborhoods, talk about life in Cyprus, and witness a beautiful sunset.
What to Expect
You will see the main sights of Paphos and its surroundings: the ruins of the ancient city of Kourion, Kolossi Castle, the birthplace of Aphrodite, the authentic village of Kouklia, the columns of St. Paul, and the catacombs of St. Solomon's. We will tell you:
- Why Aphrodite chose the 'Rock of the Greek' for her landing in Cyprus
- Who Diggenis is and why scientists still argue about his deeds
- Where the center of ancient Paphos was and why the modern city is located elsewhere
- Which gods the islanders worshiped before Aphrodite and Apollo
- Why the pomegranate became one of the symbols of Cyprus and how they make the local dessert wine 'Commandaria'
And that's not all!
