We build in Paphos - at the heart of the Paphos area which is one of the largest municipalities on the West Coast of Cyprus. Paphos is the ancient capital of Cyprus and today amongst the island's most popular tourist resorts. Its age old history and archaeological treasures have merited the towns naming as a world heritage site by UNESCO.

Paphos in fact has two main areas, Kato Paphos (lower Paphos) and Pano Paphos (upper Paphos). Kato Paphos is best known for its mediaeval fort; old fishing harbour; and sea-front promenade and is highly popular with tourists and locals alike! There are numerous sandy beaches here, along with excellent restaurants and entertainment facilities. Cultural events ranging from operas to art exhibitions and concerts regularly take place here. Pano Pafos encircles the colourful Old Market, and is brimming with modern shops and boutiques.

Most of the resorts bars and restaurants are located around this area of Paphos on either bar street or along the harbor front. The more lively sector is definitely up on bar street which runs parallel to the main street. Apart from the many bars there are some great restaurants serving a wide range of international cusine. The harbor is however the center of cafe life in Paphos with its trendy bars and restaurants where you can relax taking in the magnificent view out over the Mediterranean.

A few miles from Paphos harbor is the ancient site of the Tombs of the Kings. The tombs are cut out of the bed rock and many are decorated with doric colums also cut from the rock. Despite its name no kings were actually interned at the site but it earned its title because it was considered fit for a kings burial. The theory is that several local Nobelmen or important dignitaries were lain to rest there. You don't have to look far around the Paphos area to find places of historic interest and some of them date back even before Roman times.

Then of course there's all that Greek mythology which Cyprus plays an important part in. The Island is reputed to be where Aphrodite the Goddess of love and sexual rapture landed after her birth from the sea foam. We won't go into all the gory details of how she was formed but it involved a certain amount of castration by some god or another. Anyway, the rock of Aphrodite is situated a few kilometers outside Paphos and you can view it from a cliff top restaurant.

The beauty of Paphos from a Cyprus holidaymakers point of view is it's close proximity to the airport and the main coastal motorway. Access to the rest of the Island including the capital Nicosia is real easy either by coach or with a hire car. With so much to see and do you will never cram it all into one holiday which explains why people return to Paphos year after year. There is little doubt that this lovely Cyprus resort with its many historic buildings will remain unspoiled for a long time to come. Perhaps this blend of old and new is part of its appeal but you will never know until you visit Paphos Cyprus yourself.
