The Birthplace of Aphrodite
About 15 miles south along the coast from Pafos
is Petra Tou Romiou, the mythical birthplace of
Aphrodite, Goddess of Love (hence Aphrodisiac).
 Legend has it that Aphrodite rose here from the
white sea-foam, and floated on a seashell to
nearby Paleapaphos.

Archaeological discoveries in the Pafos region
are continual, making it a highlight for those
tracing civilizations roots in Cyprus. For a
glimpse of the artifacts and masterworks found in
the area, visit the District Archeological Museum.
Returning to the 20th century, enjoy a cool
drink, a steaming Cypriot coffee, or a meal of
just-caught seafood in one of the taverns that
dot the scenic harbor side in the town of Pafos.
Hotels for every taste and budget can be found in
town and the surrounding area. Use them as your
home base for discovering this rich region.

This is a fantastic day out at watermania and
there's so much here. Just remember to keep
applying your sun cream so you don't burn while
your having fun....!At the waterpark you can get
yourself a locker to put your things in.

Most travelers first see Cyprus at Larnaka, which
is the second port and the site of an
international airport. No welcome could be
sunnier at Larnaka, deep blue seas meet bright
sand beaches under incomparably brilliant skies.

Many ancient churches can be found in Larnaka.

The Aphrodite Trail
View down onto the tip of the Akamas peninsula
from the Aphrodite Trail
Close to the tip of the peninsula is The
Aphrodite Trail, a four-mile walk up into the
mountains overlooking the sea with fantastic
views from the top. Along the trail lizards and
wild flowers abound, and the going is steep in
parts but manageable. Worth the trek!

While in the Ammochostos region be sure to visit.
                                                          
Explore the rugged coast toward Cape Greko, with
its string of calm sandy coves, and stay for the
indescribably beautiful sunset.

Shepherd in the Troodos Mountains
The thick cedar and pine forests and sun-soaked
slopes of the Troodos region offer an unexpected
contrast to the Mediterranean coast, less than an
hour away. Halfway between the busy towns of
Nicosia and Limassol, halfway between sea and
sky, rising to 1,950 meters (6,500 feet), Troodos
is a counterpoint to the rest of the island.

The Famagusta Gate was designed to protect the
ancient city. Today it beckons people in.
The island has in its midst a fair city called
Nicosia, which is the capital of the kingdom,
well walled, with its fine gates, which are
three, to wit the gate of Paffo, of Famagusta,
and Cirina. That of Famagusta, is the most
beautiful, and in my judgment the city of
Barcelona has none to match it P. Joan Lopez, 17
