Paphos
According to legend, Paphos is the very place where Aphrodite, the goddess
of love and beauty was born and spread her charm. So you have made the perfect
choice by selecting Paphos as your wedding destination.
A few miles east of Paphos, visitors can see the goddess’ birth place at Aphrodite’s
Rock and visit the evocative remains of the temple where she was worshipped in
ancient times.
Paphos ranks amongst one of the most attractive little towns in the Mediterranean.
Situated in the south west of one of the most beautiful parts of Cyprus, it has
a friendly cosmopolitan population of about 70, 000.
The area has quickly become a popular tourist resort in recent decades thanks
to its traditional charm, temperate climate and the opportunity to taste some
of the oldest wines in the world.
The focal point of the town is the charming harbour by Paphos Fort, lined with
open air cafes and tavernas which each serve tempting fish dishes and Mediterranean
cuisine.
Some of the world’s most stunning ancient mosaics can be see a stone’s throw
from the harbour, the legacy of Paphos’ millennia old history.
Taking a stroll along the beach, walking amongst cool palm trees and swimming
in the warm waters of the Mediterranean Sea in the morning will all help you
to relax ahead of the night to come.
Paphos is a culinary paradise with a vast choice of restaurants including traditional
Cypriot tavernas, Chinese, Italian, French and European cuisine. Visitors will
even find a traditional all day English breakfast in many cafes and bars.
Later in the evening take your pick of bars and pubs in the centre of town –
and don’t forget to sample the Cypriot specialties ‘Brandy Sour’ and ‘Zivania’.
If you feel energetic, don’t miss out on visiting a bouzouki bar, a traditional
Cypriot club with live music. You will dance till dawn – don’t worry if you don’t
know how!
Then the next day... you can do it all again.
We welcome you to Paphos. We welcome you to the island of love and romance.
