Paphos
Paphos is the perfect place for a picture-perfect vacation! Located on the southwestern coast of Cyprus, it offers stunning beaches, fascinating archaeological ruins, impressive mosaics, and a joyful atmosphere. Legend has it that Aphrodite, the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility, was born from the sea foam here in Paphos. Perhaps that’s part of the city’s unique charm—recognized in 1980 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and named the European Capital of Culture in 2017.
