Even if you simply like to relax and lean back at one of the many upscale hotels along the coastline, stroll around the buzzing harbour to visit fish taverns and souvenir shops or rather discover the ancient history at one of the numerous archaeological sites around town, Paphos is one of the island’s ancient city kingdoms that guarantees to create the urge to come back and visit again.
