Activity itinerary

Kolossi Castle

  • 40m
  • Admission ticket included
Rising proudly from the sun-drenched plains just west of Limassol, Kolossi Castle is one of the most iconic and historically significant medieval fortresses in all of Cyprus. Built by the Knights of the Order of St. John, this extraordinary stronghold is forever linked to King Richard the Lionheart and the Crusaders — and it was within these very walls that the legendary Commandaria, one of the world's oldest named wines, was first created. Climb to the observation deck for sweeping panoramic views, and descend into the ancient wine cellars where centuries of history linger in every stone.

Petra tou Romiou

  • 30m
Stand at the edge of the ancient world at Petra tou Romiou — the legendary Birthplace of Aphrodite, where mythology and landscape merge into something truly extraordinary. Dramatic rocks rise from a wild, foaming sea, the coastline curves away in both directions in breathtaking beauty, and the air carries the same electric charge it must have held on the day the goddess of love herself first emerged from these very waters. One of the most iconic and deeply moving spots on the entire island — and a moment you will never forget.

St. Solomon's Catacombs

  • 20m
Descend into the extraordinary underground world of the Catacombs of St. Solomonia — a remarkable cave church carved directly into the living limestone, making it the only underground church of its kind in the world. Crusader artists of the 13th century painted these ancient walls and vaulted grottoes with breathtaking frescoes — faint but haunting fragments still visible today. Discover a hidden sacred spring deep within the rock, and pause at the ancient Wish Tree near the entrance — its branches heavy with colorful ribbons, each one carrying a whispered prayer and a secret hope.

Church of Agia Kyriaki and post St. Paul

  • 35m
Modest in appearance yet extraordinary in significance, the Church of St. Kyriaki stands at the very heart of ancient Paphos — beside the sacred pillar where Apostle Paul himself is traditionally believed to have been tied and flogged for daring to spread the word of Christianity across Cyprus. Surrounded by ancient ruins, fragments of early Byzantine mosaic floors, and centuries of quiet devotion, this is one of those rare places where history and faith converge in a way that leaves you genuinely, unexpectedly moved.

Kato Paphos Archaeological Park

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Sprawling across a dramatic clifftop above the Mediterranean Sea, the magnificent Paphos Archaeological Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that brings 2,000 years of Cypriot civilization to breathtaking life. Wander at your own pace among extraordinary Roman mosaics — intricate masterpieces depicting gods, myths, and scenes of ancient daily life that have survived centuries beneath the Cypriot soil. The legendary House of Dionysus, the Villa of Theseus, ancient theatres, and towering columns create an open-air museum of such scale and beauty that even the most seasoned traveler stops and stares. A place where history is not behind glass — it is beneath your feet.

Paphos Harbour Castle

  • 1h 30m
The perfect finale to a perfect day — Paphos Castle stands proudly at the edge of the historic port, its ancient medieval walls reflected in the shimmering harbor waters. Stroll along the vibrant promenade, browse charming souvenir shops for a piece of Cyprus to take home, and settle into a cozy waterfront taverna for a long, leisurely lunch of fresh fish and seafood caught that very morning. The kind of ending that makes you wish the day would never stop.
