The fishing port of Pafos, at the western end of the island has become one of the country's most buoyant resorts. A promenade along the waterfront takes you past souvenir shops and seafood tavernas to the old harbour. Behind the port, archaeologists are constantly uncovering vestiges of the town's Greek, Roman and Byzantine inhabitants, the most famous being mosaics from the 1,800 year old Roman villas. The ancient home of Aphrodite offers pleasurable beaches and lively taverns. Enjoy the classical antiquity of Pafos with a visit to the remains of  Aphrodite's temple and see the rocks from which she emerged. Or take a trip up to the north coast for the nature trails on the cliffs of the Akamas peninsula.
