Aphrodite's mythical birthplace, 'Petra tou Romiou' is an interesting geological formation of huge rocks along one of the most beautiful coastlines of the island.
One of the most inspiring archaeological site in Cyprus, the ruins found at Kato Paphos were first found in 1962.
Was originally built as a Byzantine fort to protect the harbour. It was then rebuilt by the Lusignans in the thirteenth century after being destroyed in the earthquake of 1222.
The Tombs of the Kings is a large necropolis lying about two kilometres north of Paphos harbour in Cyprus. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The coast to the north and to the south of Coral Bay is characterized by rocky headlands and sea caves. Coral Bay itself is a 600m crescent of soft white sand, enclosed by a pair of limestone headlands.
