Cyprus is drenched in year round sunshine from the hot summer to the mild winter, where swimming in the sea is still possible as well as skiing in the mountains on the same day. It is a truly beautiful island, form citrus groves and scenic mountain backdrops to gently shelving beaches with water as warm as a bath. The former capital of Cyprus, Paphos has grown into a bustling tourist area with everything to offer the holidaymaker. Divided into 2 parts, the old town houses the market and other major shops, while Kato Paphos area has a pretty harbour, historic fort, watersports, diving centres, sandy beaches, shops, bars, night life, open-air cafes, and international restaurants. Close by you will find fun for all the family at the waterpark, and there is one of the largest outdoor go-karting centres in Europe. There are facilities for lawn bowls, and within a short drive are three 18-hole golf courses. Historical interests include the Tombs of the Kings and Aphrodite's birthplace.
