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)
