Apartment Rentals in Paphos
Paphos (or Pafos) is one of the most beautiful and ancient towns of Cyprus. Wherever one treads in Paphos he comes across its glorious history which dates back thousands of years, when the cult of goddess Aphrodite who emerged from its seas, flourished in this beautiful part of the world attracting many visitors from the island and abroad.
The legacy from its remarkable history adds up to nothing less than an open museum, so much so that UNESCO simply added the whole town its world Cultural Heritage List. Among the treasures unearthed, are the remarkable mosaics in the Houses of Dionyssos, Theseus and Aion, beautifully preserved after 16 centuries under the soil. Then there are the mysterious vaults and caves, the Tombs of the Kings, the ancient Odeon Theatre and other places of interest including the various Museums.
The City of Paphos, on the southwest coast of the island, was founded by King Kiniras in 1400 BC. The port of Paphos was built by Nicocles, the last King of Paphos, at the time of Alexander the Great. It became the capital of the island replacing Salamis during the Hellenistic period as its masters, the Ptolemies, favored a location closer to their capital, Alexandria. The Romans retained Paphos as the seat of Roman Governor.
Today Paphos is a popular sea resort with population of 40,000. It is divided into two major quarters – Ktima, on the sea terrace, is the main residential district, and the Kato Paphos, by the sea, is built around the mediaeval port and contains most of the luxury hotels and the entertainment infrastructure of the city.
