Closest Hotels to Paphos (Pafos):
The town of Paphos is famed for being the birthplace of Aphrodite (the Goddess of Love) and home to Aphrodite's Rock (Petra Toy Romiou), which was erected by the Myceneans in the 12th century BC. The town also boasts majestic landscapes, lovely coastline, as well as numerous historic sites including the beautiful Mosaics of Paphos, the Tombs of the Kings, the Medieval Fort, the Paphos District Archaelogical Museum, the Byzantine Museum and the Ethnographical Museum. The impressive second century Odeon, which was rediscovered in 1973, the 12th-century Saranta Kolones Castle, which was built by the Lusignans but virtually destroyed by an earthquake in 1222, and the fifth-century Panagia Limeniotissa Basilica are all also worth a visit for their architectural and historical importance.
