Bargain Holidays in Paphos
|
Set on the southwest of Cyprus, Paphos is the birthplace of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. The town of Paphos is divided into old and new: located inland, the old district has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and boasts ancient mosaics, a Byzantine castle, and numerous archaeological treasures, including the Tombs of the Kings, the Temple of Aphrodite and St Paul’s Pillar; the new town is set on the coast and offers a generous stretch of sand, a picturesque promenade, a charming harbour and a choice of modern hotels, bars, restaurants and shops.

Bargain holidays in Paphos centre round Coral Bay, which is packed with soft white sands and lapped by crystal-clear waters. Bask on the beach, cool off in the sea or try your hand at a wealth of water sports, including parasailing, scuba diving, snorkelling and jet skiing. Shopping enthusiasts should head to the main shopping street, which runs parallel to the promenade. For a more traditional shopping experience, explore the maze of narrow streets running inland, which are lined with market stalls and shops selling local handicrafts.
