Explore Paphos

Explore Paphos

Steeped in history and the magical athmosphere of Myth and Legend, Paphos is the ancient capital of Cyprus. The legacy from its remarkable history adds up to nothing less than an open museum, so much so that the UNESCO added the whole town to it's World Cultural Heritage List. 

 
On this half-day tour, we discover this beautiful part of the island with a first stop at the House of Dionysos, with its mosaics beautifully reserved after 16 centuries under the soil. They are considered among the finest in the Eastern Mediterranean and they mainly depict scenes from Greek Mythology.
 
We pass by Saranta Kolones (Forty Columns) which was originally a castle built by the Lusignans and destroyed by an earthquake, the catacomb of Ayia Solomoni, retaining some of the 12th-century frescoes. We also see the Chrysopolitissa Church built over the ruins of the largest Byzantine basilica on the island and the Pillar of St.Paul where according to legend the Apostle was tied and whipped when he and Barnabas brought Christianity to the island. We pass by the Byzantine Church of Ayia Paraskevi - one of the most interesting Byzantine Churches on the island with five domes forming a cross and has beautiful mural paintings. 
 
The tour finishes with a visit at Yeroskipou Village with the famous Cypriot delights. (Entrance fees payable if you wish to enter)

Gratuities

There is often confusion on the question of gratuities, since it frequently depends on the type of holiday, location and, of course, your attitude towards tipping, as to what is normally expected. To give you a rough idea, we have given appropriate guidance below.

 
The Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual. We suggest a group collection at the beginning of your holiday to cover drivers, guides, porters and hotel staff of approximately €25.00 per person. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burdern of who, when and how much to tip.
Passport & Visa Information

We recommend that you check passport and visa requirements for the country you are visiting at the State Department if you have a U.S. Passport. Most countries require that your passport have at least six months validity when traveling internationally, and many require that you have one to two blank visa pages for either an entry stamp or visa. As a general rule, please check that your passport has six months validity beyond your planned trip, and if not, please renew your passport with plenty of time to provide Solos with your updated passport information by the final payment due date.

Health Requirements

We recommend that you check if vaccinations are required for your destination at the CDC’s recommendations for your visited destination(s). We also recommend you purchase travel protection. A travel protection plan can often assist with medical emergencies and reimburse costs that are covered by the plan. Please verify coverage details with Solos before you travel.
