| Kato Paphos The capital of the west and positively teeming with history is Paphos, site of the island's second international airport. The resort town (Kato Pafos) has as its focal point a charming fishing harbour by Paphos Fort, lined with open-air cafes and tavernas that serve a tempting menu of the day's It was on Paphos shoreline that the mythological Goddess Aphrodite was born, a legend that spawned a massive wave of cult worship from neighbouring countries that lasted several centuries. The large rock that juts from the sea is known as 'Petra tou Romiou' - The Venus Rock - while the Baths of Aphrodite at Polis also echoes her apparent penchant for the island. At Palaepaphos, Kouklia lie the remains of the Goddess' earliest Sanctuary. Another 'first' for Paphos was its early recognition of Christianity. While under Roman rule in 45 A.D., it was here that Saint Paul converted the first ruler to the faith. |

| The legacy from its remarkable history adds up to nothing less than an open museum, so much so that UNESCO simply added the whole town to its World Cultural Heritage List. Among the treasures iiiK-arlhed, are the remarkable mosaics in the Houses of Dionysos, Theseus and Aion, beautifully preserved after 16 centuries under the soil. Then there are the mysterious vaults and caves, the Tombs of the Kings, the Pillar to which Saint Paul was allegedly tied and whipped, the ancient Odeon Theatre and other places of interest including the Byzantine Museum and the its Archaeological Museum. | ||

| Unavoidably, sooner or later, the children in the group will have had enough of culture, nature and "old ruins", and a day at Aphrodite's massive water park (a few minutes drive away) will get everybody excited for days before and thrilled and content for days after. Of course you can join in as well (if you dare!). | ||

| Golf in Cyprus, Golf Courses in Cyprus Cyprus now has 3 golf courses in the Paphos area on the southwest corner of the island (Tsada, Secret valey and Aphrodites Hills). More than enough to keep you occupied for your holiday. In addition to this planning permission has been granted for further courses to be developed so making Cyprus a new golf destination. The jewel in the crown is of course the new Aphrodite Hills completed in November 2002. All 3 are within half an hour drive from the villa. |
