Paphos and Curium Coach Tour from Ayia Napa Protaras

Available Mondays from 31 March onwards.

A fascinating journey of discovery awaits on this excursion to the west of Cyprus where you can explore a wealth of Greco-Roman, Hellenic and Byzantine antiquities and visit the popular and historically important town of Paphos.

The first stop of the day is a short coffee break close to Choroikoitia then on to the impressive amphitheatre of ancient Kourion which is one of the most important archaeological sites on the island. The site sits on a 100 metre high cliff right next to the sea and offers breath-taking views of the coast of Episkopi Bay.

Kourion was destroyed by an earthquake in the late fourth century and this ancient city kingdom is now one of the most fascinating archaeological sites to explore on the island. you will have the chance to see the Greco-Roman theatre where gladiator games were held and the House of Eustolios with its mosaics and bath establishments.

The next stop is Paphos, where the entire city is a UNESCO heritage site. As well as the treasures of the sprawling archaeological park, there is a medieval fort at the picturesque harbour. We have free time here to explore the well preserved remains of ancient communities and the famous mosaics or choose to relax at a harbourside taverna.

Leaving Paphos we continue back along the coast to the village of Yeroskipou. Home of the Cyprus Delights or 'Loukoumia' since 1895,we can sample some of these sweet treats and pick up a souvenir or two.

The final stop of the day is the legendary Aphrodite's Rock - Petra Tou Romiou. This rock is said to be where the goddess Aphrodite was born from the waves and offers a stunning seascape. Take those all important photo's or enjoy a refreshing a swim. Legend has it that eternal youth may be granted to those who swim around the rock three times.
