Paphos Area holidays
One minute you're lounging on a Blue Flag beach, the next you're uncovering ancient archaeological treasures. Yep, that's the Paphos Area! Stretching along Cyprus' south-west coast, this laid-back region takes care of every type of holidaymaker. Paphos is in the thick of it, with a palm-lined waterfront of buzzy bars and friendly tavernas. Take a seat and watch boats sail in and out of the harbour as you nibble meze platter favourites and sip wine from local vineyards. After things to do? A waterpark, zoo, malls, PGA-accredited and award-winning golf courses, plus UNESCO-listed historical sites make days out easy. Towards the Akamas Peninsula, epic sandy shores and twinkling waters mingle with centuries-old monasteries and the forested Troodos Mountains.Popular Paphos Holiday Resorts

Heavenly beaches
Aphrodite herself is said to have risen from the seas along the shores of Paphos. You can see why she picked the spot – turquoise waters lap against golden sands, with a backdrop of dazzling limestone cliffs. It really is a beautiful place to explore, so stay a while.
Ancient attractions
There are so many historical sites to tick off on a Paphos holiday, from the Tombs of the Kings to the Temple of Apollo over towards Limassol. In Amathus Bay, you’ll find what’s left of the royal city that was once home to the children of the mythical hero, Heracles. It’s a passport to the past.
