KATO PAPHOS Tourist To-Dos The area's famous mosaics top the to-do lists of most holidaymakers in Paphos — with good reason. Dating from as early as AD 200 (give or take), the intricate and colourful floor mosaics are some of the oldest ever found. The House of Dionysus, the Roman-period villa of a nobleman, displays scenes from mythology (particularly fea• turing Dionysus, the god of wine) and everyday life, while the compositions in the House of Theseus and the House of Aion depict battles. Within the same complex, visitors can wander amongst the granite columns, standing archways and crumbling walls that remain from the once- imposing Saranta Kolones Fortress. The mediaeval Paphos Castle on the harbour is a definite list-topper. Built in the 13th century during the island's Lusignan era, the maze of vaulted rooms and cells begs to be explored.

  • CYPRUS Cyprus in Your Heart
    CYPRUS Cyprus in your Heart Life is the Journey That You Make It It is often said that life is not only what you are given, but what you make of it. In the beautiful Mediterranean island of Cyprus, its warm inhabitants have truly taken the motto to heart. Whether it’s an elderly man who basks under the shade of a leafy lemon tree passionately playing a game of backgammon with his best friend in the village square, or a mother who busies herself making a range of homemade delicacies for the entire family to enjoy, passion and lust for life are experienced at every turn. And when glimpsing around a hidden corner, you can always expect the unexpected. Colourful orange groves surround stunning ancient ruins, rugged cliffs embrace idyllic calm turquoise waters, and shady pine covered mountains are brought to life with clusters of stone built villages begging to be explored. Amidst the wide diversity of cultural and natural heritage is a burgeoning cosmopolitan life boasting towns where glamorous restaurants sit side by side trendy boutiques, as winding old streets dotted with quaint taverns give way to contemporary galleries or artistic cafes. Sit down to take in all the splendour and you’ll be made to feel right at home as the locals warmly entice you to join their world where every visitor is made to feel like one of their own. 2 Beachside Splendour Meets Countryside Bliss Lovers of the Mediterranean often flock to the island of Aphrodite to catch their breath in a place where time stands still amidst the beauty of nature.

It is not surprising that UNESCO included the Pafos antiquities, Choirokoitia and ten of the Byzantine period churches of Troodos in its list of World Heritage Sites. The aim of this publication is to help visitors discover the cultural heritage of Cyprus. The qualified personnel at any Information Office of the Cyprus Tourism Organisation (CTO) is happy to help organise your visit in the best possible way. Parallel to answering questions and enquiries, the Cyprus Tourism Organisation provides, free of charge, a wide range of publications, maps and other information material. Additional information is available at the CTO website: www.visitcyprus.com It is an unfortunate reality that a large part of the island’s cultural heritage has since July 1974 been under Turkish occupation.

  • Pafos Avion Tourism
    PAFOS La città di Afrodite Paphos, the city of Aphrodite di | by Pia Bassi afos si trova sull’isola di Cipro che custodisce diecimila anni di storia mediterranea e dove la leggenda narra che vi nacque la Dea Afrodite. A Pafos, alto nel cielo, splende Orione il cacciatore che instancabile insegue le Pleiadi accompagnato dai due inseparabili cani. È un cielo mitologico che ben si accompa- gna ai miti di cui Cipro è permeata. Cipro è ben nota nel mondo come l’isola dove emerse dal mare la dea Afrodite, per i greci, e Venere per i latini. Il pittore del Rinascimento, Sandro Botticelli, l’ha ben rappresentata in un quadro esposto alla Galleria degli Uffizi a Firenze. È la dea non solo della bellezza, bensì della Terra madre, un mito che dominava i Paesi del Medio Oriente. Pafos, sulla punta estrema occidentale di Cipro, racconta anni di storia mediterranea La vecchia Nea Pafos fu fondata nel XII secolo a.C., si estendeva per 950mila mq e nel 58 a.C. fu annessa a Roma e potè battere moneta avviando rapporti commerciali con Alessandria, Rodi e Atene. Fu la capitale di Cipro al tempo dei greci e dei romani e la sua importanza è testimoniata dalla ricchezza che ha lasciato ville adorne di splendidi mosaici rinvenuti causalmente nel 1962. Così sono venute alla luce la casa di Dioniso, il dio del vino e la casa di Teseo, l’eroe che con un randello minaccia il Minotauro, il mostro cretese. Sono pavimenti di ville patrizie del III e V secolo d.C.

Traditional medicine combines a mix of superstitions and beliefs with the therapeutic use of medical plants that grow wild. In this report we discuss the ethnopharmacological, historical and medical aspects of the use of endemic medical plants in the area of Paphos of Cyprus. Paphos is cited in the east region of the island, characterized by its unique flora.. Many plants were used in an unusual way for therapeutic purposes by local people, comprising a significant part of their tradition that accompanies them up to today in their daily life. Keywords: Paphos; Cyprus; ethnopharmacology; ethnobotany; traditional medicine; herbs. Introduction Cyprus is the birthplace of goddess Aphrodite, a crossroad of three regions (Europe, Asia, Africa) and a rapid expanding economical and technological country. As an island, cited in the eastern site of the Mediterranean sea, it has a unique climate that favours many plants to grow all the year. According to Aristotle’s script (It was found that there is a big and high mountain in Cyprus, higher than all its mountains, called Troodos, where many different plants grow, which are useful in medicine.

  • In the Footsteps of Paul
    FMZBC In the footsteps of Paul 1st Destination: Paphos You, Saul and Barnabas have traveled 90 miles across Cyprus from Salamis to Paphos. In Paphos the Proconsul (governor) called on them so that he may hear the teachings of Jesus. The Proconsul’s attendant, Bar-Jesus or Elymas, was a false prophet and sorcerer who wished to prevent the Proconsul from hearing/believing the word. Saul, now called Paul (it is at this point the name Paul was first mentioned), blinded the false prophet like he himself had once been blinded. After witnessing this event the Proconsul now believe in the new faith of Jesus. Acts 13:6-12 6They traveled through the whole island until they came to Paphos. There they met a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus, 7who was an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, an intelligent man, sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God. 8But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith. 9Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said, 10"You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord? 11Now the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be blind, and for a time you will be unable to see the light of the sun." Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
