About Paphos Region

Paphos is located on the southwest coast of Cyprus, and consists of two main areas – the coastal region of Kato Paphos and the town itself, known as Pano Paphos. This popular destination is the mythical birthplace of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, indeed, there are several features dedicated to this legend, including the Rock of Aphrodite (Petra Tou Romiou) located off the old Paphos-Limassol road, the Baths of Aphrodite and the Temple of Aphrodite.

Holidaymakers and property buyers choose the Paphos region time and again, not only due to its Mediterranean climate, but also its rich history, beautiful beaches, classical elegance and modern charm. This popular location is a sightseer’s paradise with a wide array of attractions, including the Tomb of the Kings, carved out of solid rock and featuring pillars and frescoed walls; the Mosaics of Paphos – striking mosaic floors in a series of ancient Roman villas; Ayia Solomoni Church in Kato Paphos, originally a Christian catacomb; and Paphos Castle - a Byzantine fort originally built to protect the harbour.

Paphos harbour itself is a popular visitor attraction throughout the year, with cafes, restaurants and tavernas lining the quayside, offering picturesque views over the harbour. Many visitors take the opportunity to explore the fort, which can be reached via a small bridge; or to embark on one of the regular boat trips which set off from the harbour in order to discover the surrounding beaches.

The Paphos coastline is punctuated by sandy coves with the popular, horseshoe-shaped beach at Coral Bay lying to the north. This family-friendly resort offers water sports including windsurfing and waterskiing, and is home to a selection of bars and restaurants. Coral Bay is also the perfect base from which to visit the spectacular Troodos Mountains - the largest mountain range in Cyprus. The charming fishing villages of Latchi and Polis are also nearby.
