10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Paphos That You Shouldn't Miss
Paphos, the capital of western Cyprus, has some serious historical clout. Site of the vast fourth-century BC Tombs of the Kings, set high on a cliff above the sparkling sea, as well as a dramatic Byzantine castle and fine mosaics, it's also known as the birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite. The population of 27,000 is swelled by a summer influx of beach-bound English, German and Scandinavian visitors. A beautiful old harbor awaits, while modern hotels and restaurants stretch along the promenade.

Located about 9km north of Pafos (Paphos), the monastery of Agios Neophytos was founded by the Cypriot recluse and writer Neophytos in the second half of the 12th century, in what used to be a secluded location at the head of the picturesque valley. The hermit carved a cave out of the mountains called the ‘Enkleistra’, which is covered with some of the finest examples of Byzantine frescoes that date back from the 12th to the 15th centuries. The monastery has a noteworthy ecclesiastical museum and its later church also contains some of the finest Post-Byzantine icons dating to the 16th century.

This is no ordinary museum. For €5 per person, plus €5 for the optional guidebook, you have a chance to go inside the special home of a lady, Chryso, who preserves the life's work of her late husband and renowned archeologist, George Eliades. His eclectic collection of items, the house frozen in time and the 2nd/3rd century BC tomb and other artefacts in the garden make for a quirky and fascinating 4* visit. Add chatting to Chryso and you have a well-spent 5* hour or so...
