The small harbor town on the southwest coast of Cyprus looks back on a rich history and in 2017 became the first European Capital of Culture on the divided island. Pétra tou Romio, the bay not far from Paphos, was considered a divine place thousands of years ago. Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, is said to have once emerged from the sea here.
Year-round destination Cyprus
Cyprus is particularly well known as a beach destination. The most beautiful beaches are located in the east of the island near Ayia Napa and Protaras. Those interested in archaeology will find what they are looking for in the south of the island around Paphos. Here you can visit many remains of ancient sites. Nature lovers should not miss the Troodos Mountains in southern Cyprus. This area is also known as the green lung of the otherwise barren island. At 1,951m, Mount Olympus is the highest mountain in Cyprus. The Kykkos Monastery, the spiritual center of the Orthodox Christians of Cyprus, is also located in this mountain range. The southern Cypriot peninsula of Akamas with its center Polis is also known for its tranquility and nature.
