FROM PROTARAS/AYIA NAPA/LARNACA: Paphos & Ancient Kourion

Visit the western part of Cyprus and travel back in time to discover the rich history of the island, which is interconnected to Greek history and mythology!

Our first stop is Ancient Curium, one of the most important archeological sites on the island. There you will have the chance to see the Greco-Roman theater where gladiator games were held and the House of Eustolios with its mosaics and bath establishments. The site sits on a 100-meter hill right next to the sea and offers breathtaking views of the coast of Episkopi Bay.

We then drive to the town of Paphos where you will have the chance to visit the House of Dionysus, which is famous for its ancient mosaics (optional extra). You will also have free time to relax, have lunch (optional extra) and enjoy the area surrounding Pafos Harbour, which is one of the most visited and beautiful tourist resorts of the island.

Driving back from Pafos, we stop at Geroskipou Village, where you can taste and buy traditional sweet Cyprus delights, a local delicacy made there since 1895.

Our final stop is at the Rock of Aphrodite, which is the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty and love. According to Greek mythology, as soon as Aphrodite was created from the foam of the sea, although she had originally begun drifting towards the Greek island of Cythera, the wind blew her towards her spiritual home near Pafos. A short time is given there for photos before we drive back to the east coast of the island.

Note for Summer months (April-October): Clients can bring swimwear and towels, if they would like to swim at the Rock of Aphrodite!
