Paphos

The booming main town and year-round resort in the west consists of Upper Paphos, built on a rocky escarpment that commands a superb view of the coastline, and Lower Paphos, with a taverna-fringed harbour and a long seafront lined with hotels.

Paphos is rich in ancient sites, in particular a cluster of excavated Roman villas near the harbour, among them the House of Dionysos and the Villa of Theseus, that contain superb mosaic floors, and the Tombs of the Kings.

Other attractions include the Paphos District Museum, the Byzantine Museum, Paphos Fort commanding the harbour, the remains of the Byzantine castle of Saranda Kolones, and Panagia Chrysopolitissa Church, the largest early Christian basilica on the island. Paphos Aquarium is of more recent origin.
