Paphos

According to legend the Goddess of love and beauty -Aphrodite- was born in Paphos area. She is believed to have emerged from shoreline where Aphrodite’s rock stands in glory.

It came as a pleasant surprise when I first came to know that the whole town of Paphos is listed by UNESCO in its World Cultural Heritage list. Paphos was the capital of Cyprus during Hellenic and Roman times. Paphos is different in many ways than other towns of Cyprus and its not easy to describe its multi facet character. One has to simply experiance the place.
