PAPHOS
A coastal city in southwest Cyprus and the capital of Paphos District.
In 1980, Paphos was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List for its ancient architecture, mosaics, and ancient religious importance. It was selected as a European Capital of Culture for 2017.
The Greeks agreed that Aphrodite had landed at the site of Paphos when she rose from the sea. Old Paphos was the centre of worshipping Aphrodite for the whole Aegean world.
PEGEIA
Pegeia is situated mainly on the steep slopes of the coastal hills inland from Coral Bay, at the southern end of the Akamas Peninsula, and it lies 14 km northwest of Paphos.
It is a place that combines old and new - traditional taverns, historical sites and modern gourmet restaurants and luxury villas.
OMODOS VILLAGE
Omodos is a village located in the Troodos Mountains, 800 meters above sea level. It is a popular destination for those who like homemade wine, walks around ancient streets, visits to the traditional rural homes that have been turned into museums and shopping for original art and crafts (e.g. silver jewelry, glass objects, lace-work, sweets and famous Arkatena pretzels). The village’s main attraction is the True Cross Monastery, which houses a piece of the True Cross together with other relics.
KOUKLIA
The village is built in the area of "Palaepaphos", a mythical birthplace of Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love and beauty, and the ruins of the temple of Aphrodite were found there.
Because of its ancient religious significance and architecture, Kouklia was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List along with Kato Paphos in 1980.
Archaeologists point out that in ancient times the cultural center of the island was located there.
