CYPRUS PAPHOS - CYPRUS PAFOS 
General information about the Paphos region, Cyprus 
Paphos also known as Pafos. Aphrodite emerged from the gentle waves near Pafos, on the island’s western coast, and made her home in this region. Pafos itself is a leading cultural centre of the Mediterranean, with fascinating mosaics to see at the Houses of Aion and Dionysos, St. Pauls Pillar, the Tombs of the Kings and more. The whole town is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. In the nearby Akamas Peninsula and inland region there are beautiful monasteries, such as Agios Neofytos and Chrysorrogiatissa, picturesque villages and nature trails.
Further north from Paphos town, near the Akamas peninsula and the Baths of Aphrodite lies the resort-town of Polis, overlooking the beautiful Chrysochou Bay with its charming fishing refuge of Latsi. The relatively unspoilt state of the countryside and villages make the area a real delight for the walker and naturalist. East of Polis you come accross such villages as Pomos and Pyrgos that lie on beautiful rocky cliffs and rocky beaches.
