George's Ranch

George's Ranch is located in the picturesque area of Sea Caves, which is situated in the North West of the island in the popular resort of Coral Bay, Paphos. The Ranch has been established since 1994 and, over the years, due to popular demand by tourist and locals, the Ranch has continued to expand. We started mainly as a trekking center in the early years, as we are situated just behind the beautiful coastal area of the Sea Caves, so have great access to scenic rides by the coast. Due mainly to the passion of Caroline,for competition and well schooled horses, the Ranch has now become a large training facility for local and foreign residents.

This ranch is amazing and all the horses seem very well looked after, Jackson was a dream to ride and the hack down to the sea caves was beautiful. I also got to trot and canter in the arena afterwards which was the icing on the cake. We would definitely go back here if we were to return! Thanks Michelle ????

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.

Agios Neophytos Monastery

Reviewed By cotsios79 - Nicosia, Cyprus

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.

Church of Agia Kyriaki and post St. Paul

Reviewed By Pigman58 - Paphos, Cyprus

Although not on the scale of the Archaeological Park, this site is well worth a visit. It is the site of a 6th century church, plus a later church built over that, a 16th century church built over both, and the remains of a medieval Catholic church. Obviously, it is hard to fully envision what the site originally looked like, but the descriptive panels are good and there are some beautiful 6th century mosaics to be seen. The 16th century church of Agia Kyriaki, now shared by the local Anglican and Roman Catholic communities, is a simple Orthodox church, which nonetheless subtly reflects the denominations who now use it. Overall, well worth a visit.
