Once the capital
of Cyprus under the Romans, Paphos is one of
the most attractive and contrasting resorts in Cyprus. It is a haven for
nature lovers, with beautiful scenery and inland mountain peaks, dotted
with picturesque villages, green valleys and the famous cedar valley as
well as the national park at Akamas.
Paphos is very
rich in history, culture and monuments and there is much to see and
explore. Old Paphos blends well with the more modern Kato Paphos which
has everything from shopping to a wide range of restaurants and tavernas.
On a evening you can enjoy a romantic walk along the harbour walls.2
