In Aphrodite’s realm

Paphos, the fourth-largest city on the island of Cyprus, was selected as a European Capital of Culture for 2017 – by virtue of its historic heritage, but also because of its alluringly modest charm.

Paphos is the perfect place for culture buffs: the coastal city offers a seemingly infinite choice of sights, including the Tombs of the Kings, the ruins of Paphos (which enjoy UNESCO World Heritage status), the Paphos Archaeological Park and the medieval castle by the harbour.
