Paphos cruise port guide

Aphrodite found love here, and you will too. Rise to explore lush fauna covering century-old sites; underground tombs, forts, museums, Byzantine painted churches and Aphrodite's rock. Meet monastery monks for a private singing concert, sculpt pottery, craft mosaics and learn local cooking skills. Encounter butterfly-filled valleys and gorges bursting with rare flowers and fruit, birds and butterflies – where the delicate balance of nature is intact. Head to hillside villages to wineries and tavernas offering Cypriot delicacies. And relax. From golden sands, snorkel into cool coves, sink into the crystal-clear blue lagoon, kayak along the coast or safari through deserted beaches to where turtles breed. Mindfully immerse into Aphrodite's natural spring-filled pool, known for rejuvenating powers. You'll have a deeper understanding of love here, as the purest ancient Greek mythology lives on.

About Paphos

Paphos is a coastal city in southwest Cyprus and the capital of Paphos District, renowned as the mythological birthplace of Aphrodite and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980. The city divides between upper Paphos (commercial center) and lower Kato Paphos, which contains the main archaeological sites, hotels, marina, and waterfront tavernas. Paphos was the European Capital of Culture for 2017.

The Paphos Archaeological Park is the must-see attraction, containing the finest floor mosaics in the Eastern Mediterranean — the House of Dionysos alone has over 500 square meters of extraordinarily preserved Roman mosaic artwork. The Tombs of the Kings is a haunting necropolis carved from solid rock. Aphrodite's Rock (Petra tou Romiou), about 20 km east, is the goddess's legendary birthplace and a spectacular coastal viewpoint.
