Paphos & Aphrodite’s Rock – A Journey Through History & Mythology
Embark on a fascinating journey to Paphos, a UNESCO World Heritage city, and discover the rich history, mythology, and breathtaking landscapes of western Cyprus. This excursion takes you through ancient ruins, Greek mythology, and charming villages, offering a perfect mix of culture, sightseeing, and relaxation.
Our first stop is Ancient Curium, one of Cyprus’ most significant archaeological sites. Perched on a 100-meter-high cliff overlooking Episkopi Bay, this Greco-Roman marvel features a stunning amphitheater, gladiator grounds, and intricate mosaics in the House of Eustolios.
Next, we drive to Paphos, where you’ll have the option to visit the House of Dionysus, home to some of the most impressive Roman mosaics in the Mediterranean (optional extra). You will also have free time to explore Paphos Harbour, stroll along the waterfront, or enjoy lunch at one of the charming seaside tavernas (optional extra).
As we make our way back, we stop at Geroskipou, a traditional Cypriot village where you can sample and purchase “Loukoumi”, the famous Cyprus Delight, made here since 1895.
Our final stop is the legendary Rock of Aphrodite, where, according to Greek mythology, the goddess of beauty and love emerged from the sea foam. This iconic spot offers stunning coastal views, and legend has it that swimming around the rock grants eternal beauty!
