South-African/English and fresh off the boat, I embarked upon a day trip to the enticing City of Paphos. This enigmatic Sea of Love beckons every type of visitor to its tranquil shores. A day trip with a taxi-bus to both Cumin (archaelogical site of roman mosaics and amphitheatre), and Paphos, costs around 20 Euros. From Larnaca this trip departs from Finikoudes beachfront. On entering the locale of Pahpos, the 'Goddess of Love' rises esoterically from the sea to greet visitors on the road set higher above the sea level at this point. A stop at this viewpoint presents a majestic display of deep-blue waters, coves, caves and rock. A photograph cannot capture the excessive beauty of this sea-view.
If you have been to Paphos Harbour before or not, it is a place that can be re-visited time and time again. The populated harbour is lined with restaurants, chairs and tables set out on the harbour's edge for the much-loved and appropriate alfresco eating. The waters gently lap in the background whilst visitors or locals enjoy breakfast, lunch or supper. Boats of every type congregate in the harbour and provide a truly Med-picturesque scene for onlookers. For those with tourist interests, a cultural streak or for intellectual stimulation - the Paphos Harbour Museum is 'right there' and centrally located for ease of access. Many shops line the waterfront where just about anything can be purchased. From sunglasses and suncream to high quality jewellery or rental cars/bikes. Whatever you need, whatever your interest - whatever you are looking for - this is where you can find it!
Despite your background - Paphos has it all and is universally loved. Many nationalities unite and comb the fringes of both Paphos and the island of Cyprus. This is also a useful area to buy that special gift for someone back home. Swimming in Paphos is a unique experience where an enclosed area resembles a roman bath and sunbathers lie like brown penguins on the concrete walls.
