Description:

Boasting expanses of rich history, glorious beaches, and a modern tourist center, Paphos is a city where old meets new. Enjoy a guided tour exploring the archaeological wonders and historic sites, hear stories that bring the city alive, and take a walk along the seafront and harbor.

Your day begins with a trip through rural Cyprus to the ancient temple of Apollo, your first stop. The temple dates back more than 2,000 years and is dedicated to the god Apollo. Marvel at the remnants of this iconic monument and snap some memorable pictures as your guide tells you vivid tales that bring the intriguing history to life.

Continue your journey to Paphos—the mythical birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty. Visit the Tombs of the Kings, a site used as a burial area during the Hellenistic and Roman periods, and get a glimpse into the 4th century as you marvel at this huge honeycomb structure carved right into the rocks.

Next, move on to the House of Dionysus, a 3rd-century Roman villa dedicated to the god of wine and renowned for its fine mosaics and artwork.

Complete your tour with some free time in the city to explore at your own leisure. Venture into the new side of Paphos and enjoy lunch at one of the many seafront restaurants, stroll along the fish harbor, or wander around the pedestrian boulevards.
