Beach Holidays In Paphos

Still, there is much more to do and to see! Paphos is the mythical birthplace of goddess Aphrodite and the ancient capital of the island, and as result there are numerous cultural and archaeological vestiges from that period. Some of the most impressive remains and points of interest in and around Paphos are the "Roman Governor's Palace", the "Paphos Castle" (built by Byzantines), the "Tombs of the Kings" (a large cemetery carved out of the solid rock, where have been buried in antiquity the aristocrats), the "Pillar" to which Saint Paul (who propagated the Christian doctrine in this part of the world) is believed that was tied and whipped, the ancient "Odeon Theater", the "Byzantine Museum", the "District Archaeological Museum", the remains of the ancient city walls (best preserved near "Odeon"), the "Roman Agora", the subterranean cemetery from the early Christian period (the most renowned being "Saint Solomoni Church"), the "Rock of Aphrodite" (located outside Paphos, it emerges from the sea and is the place where goddess Aphrodite showed up from the waves of Mediterranean Sea), "Old Paphos" (settled close to the rock and containing the ruins of the "Temple of Aphrodite", dating from the 12^th century BC), "Yeroskipou" (a town lying in surroundings and famous for the Byzantine "Church of Ayia Paraskevi" and the "Folk Art Museum"), "Ayios Neophytos Monastery" (carved out of the mountain), and many others.
