Cyprus holidays give you a unique opportunity to see some outstanding historical wonders and the type of attractions that are unusual and very enjoyable.

PAPHOS is the capital of Cyprus and is divided into two sections. New Paphos is the current active city. Seaside Old Paphos is the mythical place of birth of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty. The ancient world's worship of Aphrodite was Paphos, which is on the UNESCO list of natural and cultural treasures.

The ROCK OF APHRODITE rises out of the sea where Aphrodite is said to have emerged from the waves. If you are a good swimmer, you can swim around a specific rock three times, and that is supposed to bring you eternal youth!

The SUPER APHRODITE WATERPARK is an excellent place to take the children. Every hour a wave machine is turned on in the pool. There is also a winding river with waterfalls and eight or ten different rides for them to enjoy. If the adults want to just relax, there are many sun beds and umbrellas available.


ROMAN MOSAICS are located at the remains of a Roman governor's palace and are a major tourist attraction because of the scenes from mythology and the unusual patterns. They are awesomely preserved and appear on walls, pillars, floors, theaters, and other places. There is also a magnificent fort. More finds are being excavated constantly in this huge area that have been under the ground for 16 centuries.

TOMBS OF THE KINGS is another World Heritage site. The tombs are cut into the rock in a form similar to houses and are similar to a "city". There are also underground caves, vaults, columns, pillars, and more. Excavations continue to unearth more treasures.

The VOUNI PANAYIA WINERY is a local family-run wine making production of wine as well as local delicacies and other cooking in their restaurant. They offer their excellent wines at reasonable prices.

The street known as AGIOU ANTONIOU is the place to go if night life is your thing. Hollywoods Bar is a dance club where you can create your own cocktail and see live football! Robin Hood has a different type of dance music that changes every night. Boogies has a karaoke night. Rainbow Disco keeps its dancing going when everywhere else has closed down.
