Akamas Peninsula
The Akamas peninsula is situated at the westernmost point of Cyprus. According to one version, the area took its name from the Greek mythological hero Akamas, son of Theseus and Phaidra, who came to Cyprus after the Trojan War and and gave his name to the Akamas peninsula and the city of Akamantis, a legendary city which has never been found.
Baths of Aphrodite
According to legend, this is where Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Fertility used to bath. A visit to her falls and swimming in her waters is said to give eternal youth.
Akamas forest
The Akamas is the easternmost point of the three major flora zones of Europe,
therefore the number of plant species found here runs up to 600, of which 35 are endemic.
The variety of fauna is also impressive: 168 bird species, 12 mammals, 20 reptiles and butterfly species of which the endemic Glaucopsyche Paphos butterfly is said to be the symbol of the area.
Akamas was also the place where Aphrodite and Adonis had their love trysts. It is an area of incomparable natural beauty. Almost all the geological formations found on the island are present in the area.
Akamas is ideal for walking, cycling, swimming, diving, fishing, exploring, cruising on small craft, and bird watching.

Aphrodite water park

Young or old, swimmer or not, there's something at the waterpark for everyone. A cool way to spend a hot day!
Tomb of the kings
Spread over a vast area, these impressive underground tombs date back to the 4th century BC. They are carved out of solid rock with some being decorated with Doric pillars. High officials rather than Kings were buried here, but the magnificence of the tombs gave the locality its name.
Mosaics
The striking mosaic floors in a series of ancient Roman noblemen’s villas, dating from the third to fifth century AD, are a must-see for visitors to Paphos. The site where the villas are still being excavated can be found about 300 metres from the Paphos harbour. The mosaics featuring mythological scenes are visible in the houses of Dionysus, Orpheus and Aion, and the Villa of Theseus. All were made of small cubes of marble and stone, called tesserae, with glass paste added to widen the range of colour
Paphos castle
At the harbour, there is the Castle of Paphos, originally built as a Byzantine fort to protect the harbour and rebuilt by the Lusignans in the thirteenth century, then dismantled in 1570 by the Venetians, who found themselves unable to defend it against the Ottomans, who in their turn restored and strengthened it after they captured the island.
