9 Historic Sites in Paphos That You Shouldn't Miss

May 8, 2022 Natalie Tallman

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.

The Villa of Theseus

Reviewed By 983paulinep - Haywards Heath, United Kingdom

This site is right next to the harbour and has a very cheap entry price. The mosaics are everywhere and some you can even walk on as they are mainly outside. Incredible workmanship.

Skarfos Watermill

Reviewed By cruellapaphos

Two watermills across from Skarfos bridge; the first is difficult to find as it is overgrown and can be found walking through a field; the main watermill is signposted and you can walk across the top and get a wonderful view. You can walk across the Skarfos bridge, across the field to also get to the watermill.
