With tourism as the largest industry in the city of Paphos, or Pafos, the great majority of the almost 30,000 inhabitants work directly or indirectly in this all important industry. The capital city to the western part of Cyprus, Paphos has accommodations, restaurants and shops that cater to a variety of travelers.

Inland you'll find the region of Pano Paphos, complete with an airport linking the small city with several European cities. On the coast is Kato Paphos. Legends abound, and if you look out to sea, you'll spot the rock of Aphrodite where the goddess emerged from the crystalline waters in all her glory. And if you find white threads tied to branches know that these are from women seeking sexual powers of the Greek goddess.

Tourists, particularly from England, Germany and Scandinavia, come to this quaint town for the great hotels, fabulous restaurants and the mystical beauty of the old harbour. Of course sights such as the Tombs of the Kings and the underground columns are always a favorite. The Byzantine castle and the collection at the archaeological museum are also an important aspect of any trip to Paphos.

As the mythical birthplace of Aphrodite, Greek goddess of love and beauty, you'll also find the Temple of Aphrodite here on the island. Many sites of catacombs can be found in the city. Dating back to early Christianity, Saint Solomoni Church offers spectacular frescoes from the 1100s.

Temperatures run high in the summer, attracting sun seekers by the thousands, but winters offer pleasantly cool temperatures that make visiting the city on foot or on bicycle enjoyable. The beach promenade, with the marketplace running parallel, is a great tourist stop.
