The church of St Nicholas /the sunset point o

Beautiful little coptic church with the most amazing sunsets. Yes you can get married here and they have candles you can light for a donation. Truly beautiful inside. Lovely place to visit. You can go in and have a look, but you must have a shirt and at least shorts to the knees, respect, and all that. The area behind the church is dominated by a huge pile of discarded sea weed, cleared from the beaches. In April the shoreline is a riot of wildflowers, well worth a visit. Also here is official “The sunset point of Cyprus” And so many cute cats around, so if you have something tasty for them they’ll appreciate it#beachlife #mytripvlog #paphos

Explore UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Cyprus

The Archaeological Park of Kato Pafos (Paphos) is one of the most important archaeological sites in Cyprus. Since 1980, it has been included in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It is important to note that Paphos was the capital city of Cyprus between 2nd Century BC and 4th Century AD. The park is extremely huge and the entrance fee (€4.50) is truly worth the money and time! My favourite site is the Villa House of Aion with its marvellous and most detailed mosaics on display, dating from 4th Century BC to the Middle Ages. There are also other Houses with even more mosaics for you to admire. Remember to enjoy the site at your own pace using a self-guided tour. #celebratewithtrip #cyprus #paphos

Paphos - alongside the beach area

Paphos boat trip

#bucketlistreboot Boat trip to Coral Bay In the marina area you will see a few boats where you can buy cruises similar to our Turkey cruises experience which you can read more here. Most of them go to Coral bay. Another recommended boat trip is the Blue Lagoon. We didn’t go there as there were no more spaces but definitely something to do when we return. Although local travel agents can sell those trips, the boats that take you there will be at a more northern harbour. Typically 1h from a Paphos based hotel, in case you are wandering. These trips are also up for negotiation so feel free to bring your “wolf of Wall Street” skills. If you chose this trip it will be late morning departure from your hotel. Different boats offer slightly different options but most include, pick-up/drop-off, an onboard meal, typically bbq and unlimited (local) drinks. #paphos

Paphos mosaics

#bucketlistreboot During your visit you will be able to see some of the more memorable houses and villas. These include: House of Dionysus – this is a preserved ruins of a Roman villa dating to the 2nd, century known for colourful mosaics of Dionysus. It’s not clear whether only romans lived there and is believed wealthy native Greeks also could have inhabited the house. The mosaic floor from the House of Aion is considered one of the most exceptional works of ancient Roman art, if not the only work of its kind. House of Theseus – this exceptionally large villa was the residence of the Roman proconsul or governor, and was divided between rooms for official functions and those for private use. #paphos

Paphos Town Hall and Market

#bucketlistreboot When done feel free to take one of the busses from the nearby bus depot all the way to the Old Town Market. Although “Old Town” makes you think you’ll see some architecture here is more to describe where the Old Town once stood. Most of the market and in general area have been rebuilt in modern times. However, this is a great place to go and eat and drink with the locals. Not far from the Old Town Market you can see the Town Hall. It has Greek leitmotifs with the surrounding area being a well maintained park. It definitely has its charm. At the end of park, there are also a few taverns. Feel free to sit down and enjoy a meal like the locals do. Prices are affordable and service on par. #paphos

Sunny Paphos

#bucketlistreboot Paphos, pronounced /ˈpæfɒs/ (Greek: Πάφος [ˈpafos]; Turkish: Baf) is a coastal city in southwest Cyprus and the capital of Paphos District. In antiquity, there were 2 Paphos: Old Paphos, today known as Kouklia and New Paphos. New Paphos became the old town ruins by the marina which we will explore later on. The city has no more than 36 000 inhabitants and a history that dates back to 300 B.C.. Paphos and Cyprus in general have changed hands over the course of its history many times. From when the early Greek settlers arrived through to French aristocrats, Venetians, Turks and later on the British. Today the city is part of the independent nation of Cyprus although unification with Greece (enosis) remains a taboo topic. #paphos

Perfect sunset dinner in Paphos

When I’m on holiday, I love to bask in the sun whilst sipping on a cold beverage whilst soaking up some sun and delicious food! 
Well, the pictures do not do this place justice! I was nervous to go there at first given some of the reviews I saw online with people commenting on disappointing food and service. BUT, for my visit everything was great - service was good and attentive and food was delicious! MOST of all was enjoying the sunset in Paphos! 📍Restaurant name: Muse Cafe Kitchen Bar 🏷Price band: ££-£££ 👅Taste: ***** 👩‍🔧Service: ***** Tips: Book in advance or arrive early! #eurotrip #cyprus #paphos #traveltheotherside #travelwithme #theotherside #muse

Hotel in Paphos

#eurotrip #summervacation #hotel For this holiday we chose to stay in an all inclusive, beachfront hotel: Leonardo Plaza Cypria Maris Beach Hotel & Spa. The hotel itself was great, with good service and great amenities including pool/ beach bar, jacuzzi, spa, sunbeds and parasols at the beach and a number of restaurants to choose from. One thing to mention is that this is an adult only hotel – no kiddos allowed. The hotel also features some VIP villas (very few though) and a few swim up rooms if that’s what floats your boat! If you are going with kids, you might want to choose the adjacent sister hotel Leonardo Cypria Bay and benefit from the services both hotels offer. Although not our style of hotel initially (as we do like more village style hotels) we still went for this as in Paphos these type of hotels are more prevalent. #paphos #cyprus #allinclusive

Beautiful Paphos, crystal clear water

#eurotrip to #paphos in #cyprus Paphos, pronounced /ˈpæfɒs/ (Greek: Πάφος [ˈpafos]; Turkish: Baf) is a coastal city in southwest Cyprus and the capital of Paphos District.

Today the city is part of the independent nation of Cyprus although unification with Greece (enosis) remains a taboo topic. Paphos is a tourist destination with the season stretching from March till October as temperatures don’t really go down. Some say winter is also good to come as you enjoy temperatures on average of 15° C. The beaches in the Paphos area aren’t necessarily sandy like we’ve described in our Dominican Republic and Mexican trips. This doesn’t mean there isn’t sand either however entering the water can be a bit tricky given the rocky coastline. Having said all of these, the coast line is filled with hotels that offer tourists a much needed retreat from today’s ever busy and congested world. #passionpassport #awesomepic

Beautiful Orthodox church in Paphos

#bucketlistreboot Visit St Nicholas Church when in Paphos If you keep walking from Paphos centre to the hotel area alongside the coastline, you will reach St Nicholas Church. The church is beautifully decorated on the inside and apparently lots of couples choose to have this church for their wedding. It’s located by the sunset point, so you can go later afternoon and enjoy the nice sunset vies Paphos has to offer. Paphos is an excellent escape for any sun seeking tourist. With its diverse hotel scene combined with diverse culinary landscape, there is an accommodation and a menu for all budgets and tastes. #paphos

Coral Bay by boat

#bucketlistreboot One thing will strike you – how clear the sea is! So bring your snorkel gear, you won’t regret it. Typically, the boat will offer some entertainment. We had some games and a guitar performer who we befriended. Typically within 2 hours you should reach Coral Bay. The area does has a certain charm although nothing unseen to any seasoned traveller. Unlike our Turkey boat trips (which you can find here) the captain doesn’t seem to let folks jump off the boat – so no bomb dives! Also you only get 1 swimming stop so use it wisely. After swimming lunch is served and soon after you’re on your way back to the harbour dancing on the waves and enjoying the music. #paphos
