Wednesday. Today will be spent discovering the legends and history of one of the most beautiful parts of Cyprus. Our first stop on the route to Paphos will be at the ancient city of Kourion, an impressive, unspoiled site perched high on the cliff top.
Admire the famous Greco-Roman theatre and mosaics, and enjoy the dazzling view.
Our next stop will be at Aphrodite’s Rock. According to legend, the Goddess of Love and Beauty was born from the foam of the sea at this spot. Then join us and discover the remarkable history of Paphos. UNESCO World Heritage has added the entire town of Paphos to its World Cultural Heritage List. In “Kato” Paphos we will visit the catacombs of St. Solomoni and see the Pillar of St. Paul.
Then we will visit the house of Dionysos, and admire a series of beautifully preserved mosaics depicting scenes from the Greek Mythology. Ample time will be given for lunch.
Finally, on our return we pass the 9th century Basilica of Ayia Paraskevi and we will stop at Yeroskipou Village to sample the famous Paphos Delights ‘Loukoumia’. |
