Paphos is a city on the southwest shore of the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. Occupied since Neolithic circumstances, it has a few destinations identifying with the clique of goddess Aphrodite, whose legendary origin was at Old Paphos (Kouklia). New Paphos is the advanced city that fuses the harbor, and the old remnants of tombs, fortifications, theaters and estates at Paphos Archeological Park.
The manors inside the archeological stop have mosaics delineating scenes from Greek folklore. Internment chambers at the Tomb of the Kings date to the fourth century B.C. Close-by, Agia Solomoni Church has sepulchers and twelfth century frescoes. Once a Byzantine fortress, Paphos Castle monitors the town's harbor. Agia Paraskevi is a 5-domed Byzantine church in Yeroskipou. Paphos' resort locale, Kato, has sand and shingle shorelines, and there are further resorts along the drift. At Old Paphos, Aphrodite's Rock is an ocean stack where, supposedly, the goddess rose up out of the ocean.
