Paphos is the Capital of the west and teeming with history, there is a charming fishing harbour lined with cafes and tavernas and many places of historical interest including remarkable mosaics, beautifully preserved after 16 centuries, also vaults and caves which are The Tombs of the Kings, the Byzantine Museum, an Archaeological Museum and several ancient churches. Coral Bay is one of the most beautiful sandy beaches in Cyprus, excellent for safe swimming and a variety of water sports. The breathtaking Trodes Mountains are ideal for hiking or mountain-biking through acres of beautifully scented pine forest or visiting one of the monasteries in the area.
