Paphos Trip
Learn all about Cyprus' fascinating history on this trip to Paphos and Kourion, one of the main Greco-Roman sites in the south of the island.
Paphos Trip
We'll pick you up from your hotel in Ayia Napa and head towards the archaeological site of Kourion, stopping for a 15-minute coffee break near the village of Chirokitia along the way.
After an hour and a half drive through the south of Cyprus, we'll arrive at our destination: one of the island's principal Greco-Roman sites.
Our tour of the ancient city will begin at the Kourion Theatre. Do you know what stage performances were like in the Greek era of Cyprus? Delving deeper into this historical period we'll admire the beautiful mosaics in the House of Eustolios, which belonged to a wealthy noble family in the 5th century AD.
Following the road that runs alongside Episkopi Bay, we'll then arrive at the coastal city of Paphos. Arriving in the port area, you'll have two and a half hours of free time to grab some lunch and explore the area.
Then, we'll head towards the House of Dionysus, one of the city's most impressive monuments, where those who'd like to can visit this magnificent historic house and see its extraordinary collection of mosaics.
In the afternoon, we'll take a 15-minute break in Geroskipou, a village near Paphos famous for its pastries. Our last stop will be at the Petra Tou Romiou, or Aphrodite's Rock. Here, you'll have 45 minutes to take photos and swim at this legendary rock.
At the end of the day, we'll make our way back to the hotels in Ayia Napa, arriving around 5:30 pm.
