If you’re thinking of a family holiday in Cyprus and want to avoid the more manic holiday destination of Ayia Napa then I highly recommend that you spend your time on the other side of the island in the district of Paphos. This town is especially popular with the British and is steeped in history as well as being very picturesque. Back in Roman times Paphos was actually the capital of Cyprus and is the supposed birth place of Aphrodite according to Greek mythology, so surely a good venue for a romantic break!
There are plenty of historical tourist attractions to wander around and I would start at Paphos castle and the stroll down to the delightful and still active fisherman’s harbour. Other sites of interest include the Roman Mosaics situated at Paphos Archaeological Park and even more impressively the Tomb of the Kings that dates back to 300 BC.
