This Cypriot resort town offers ancient ruins, Mediterranean beaches and a host of seaside places to stay.

As the mythical birthplace of Greek goddess Aphrodite, the coastal Cypriot city of Paphos is imbued with a sense of history that vanishes into the mists of time. Today, tangible insight into this rich past comes courtesy of numerous ancient ruins and the fascinating Kato Pafos Archaeological Park. But it’s not all history lessons here, with lower Paphos doubling as a buzzing palm-fringed resort, flanked by Blue Flag beaches and warm Mediterranean waters. Whatever your reason for visiting, we’ve selected some of the most prized hotels in Paphos – bookable with Culture Trip.
