Whether looking for relaxation or adventure, ancient sights or all-night party venues, you'll find all that and more in the Paphos District. Historically, this has been one of Cyprus's most important regions, where numerous archeological monuments tell stories of its past and are some of the area’s main attractions. The coast offers a selection of things to do, from lounging on the beach to scuba diving, snorkeling, jet skiing, or fishing. The Akamas peninsula on the westernmost tip of Cyprus is the perfect destination for outdoorsy travelers who like to hike, cycle, and explore the natural wonders. The town of Paphos, near the reputed birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite, is the region's capital and a busy tourist hub, especially at the peak of the summer season. If you're looking for a tranquil getaway destination, head to one of the smaller, more peaceful towns and villages, where life goes at much slower pace. Paphos District is in Cyprus.
