Paphos
A harbour town in south-west Cyprus, Paphos is the perfect holiday destination for those wanting to combine a beach break with UNESCO-listed world treasures. A place where white sand beaches are lapped by the Mediterranean sea, palm trees line the bustling promenade, and the sun shines 300 days a year, it’s not hard to see why thousands of tourists flock to Paphos each summer. Step away from the beach and you’ll find mystical castles, churches and monasteries, many decorated with Byzantine frescoes. Come lunchtime, restaurants and tavernas fling open their doors, serving still-warm bread and fish caught fresh that morning; staying open until late in the evening, the sun setting over the yachts bobbing on the water. If you’re looking for Paphos hotels, Leonardo Plaza Cypria Maris Beach Hotel & Spa, Leonardo Cypria Bay and Leonardo Laura Beach & Splash Resort are stylish accommodation options designed to suit your every need.
Get your bearings
A day at Kato Paphos Archaeological Park is the ideal place to discover Cyprus’ rich history. This UNESCO-listed World Heritage site features relics from the 4th century BC until the Middle Ages, including stunning mosaic villa floors and a well-preserved amphitheatre. Follow it up with a visit to the Paphos Archaeological Museum, home to antiquities stretching all the way back to the Neolithic period.
Don’t miss
Anyone travelling with kids will love Paphos Aphrodite Waterpark, a family-friendly theme park with water slides, a river and a wave-surge pool. Don’t miss the ‘Free Fall’, a ride with a stomach-lurching 50m drop.
While you’re there
Spend a day at one of Paphos’s 27 beaches, which range from secluded beachside coves to the pebble, umbrella-lined Coral Bay. For snorkelling and diving head to the beautiful Blue Lagoon, with aquamarine water and excellent visibility.
