Paphos: Cypriot town of beauty

Paphos is regarded as one of the most beautiful destinations in Cyprus, with the Western Troodos Mountains adding a stunning backdrop to the coastal town. The area's outstanding natural environment is perhaps fitting as it is believed to be the mythical birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty.

And with a population of just 28,000, Paphos remains mostly unspoilt by development, with its old harbour and historic ruins proving a popular draw for holidaymakers. Plus, dozens of quaint villages nestle in the mountains surrounding the town, with life relaxed and seemingly unchanged for decades.

This gives tourists the opportunity to experience a slice of the real Cyprus, untarnished by commercialism and the growing holiday market, while also ensuring that the area delivers for more than just sun, sea and sand.

However, Paphos offers all three of those in abundance with the island of Cyprus offering long, hot summers and mild winters.

And with local beaches such as Coral Bay offering luxurious white sand and clear waters, it is the perfect place to relax, top up the tan and enjoy swimming in the ocean without a care in the world.
