Once the capital of the island in antiquity, Pafos is now recognised as a cultural capital, home to some of Cyprus’ most important archaeological treasures. The city is closely associated with the mythology of Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty, whose presence is deeply woven into the region’s identity. Reflecting this rich past, the entire area of Kato Pafos has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its exceptionally preserved mosaics, royal tombs and Roman villas. Pafos comprises both old and new town areas, with its picturesque harbour and Medieval Castle forming a vibrant centre of daily life and tourism. Beyond the city, the wider region offers a wealth of natural and cultural attractions, including the tranquil resorts of Polis Chrysochous and Latchi as well as the breathtaking landscapes of the Akamas Peninsula – home to the Avakas Gorge, Lara Beach and the iconic “Petra tou Romiou”, said to be the birthplace of Aphrodite. Despite its modest size, Pafos offers a wide array of experiences – from modern hospitality, shopping, and entertainment, to quiet corners steeped in myth and history. 4 It remains a sanctuary of timeless charm, where the legacy of the past continues to shape a unique and inspiring destination.
