Highlights

Petra tou Romiou (Aphrodite’s Rock) - Photo Stop at the panoramic view.
Petra Tou Romiou, also known as Aphrodite’s Rock, is a sea stack in Paphos, Cyprus. It is located off the shore along the main road from Paphos to Limassol. The combination of the beauty of the area and its status in mythology as the birthplace of Aphrodite makes it a popular tourist location. - Kato Paphos Archaeological Park - Paphos Archaeological Park (Kato Pafos Archaeological Park) contains the major part of the important ancient Greek and Roman city and is located in Paphos, southwest Cyprus. The park, still under excavation, is within the Nea Pafos (“New Paphos”) section of the coastal city. Its sites and monuments date from prehistoric times through the Middle Ages. Among the most significant remains so far discovered are four large and elaborate Roman villas: the House of Dionysos, the House of Aion, the House of Theseus, and the House of Orpheus, all with superb preserved mosaic floors, especially an Orpheus mosaic. In addition, excavations have uncovered an agora,asklipieion,basilica,odeion,and Hellenistic-Roman theatre, and a necropolis known as the “Tombs of the Kings”.Nea Paphos is one of the three components forming the Paphos archaeological complex inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1980 for its outstanding mosaics and ancient remains,as well as its historical religious importance.

Amazing mosaics! - Viola was a great tour guide. We enjoyed seeing Aphrodite’s rock, Agia Solomoni’s catacombs and the amazing mosaics in Paphos. We also enjoyed a nice lunch of grilled halloumi cheese on pita! Very enjoyable day.

A Day in Limassol - We enjoyed our time in Limassol. Viola was our guide. Our trip was shortened because of a medical emergency on our cruise ship and we were delayed about 3 hours. We toured the castle and then went to the village of Omodos. Omodos was an amazing quaint place where we enjoyed shopping, sampling and a delicious lunch at the Cafe Snack Bar.
Viola was very friendly. She was very knowledgeable. At times, the amount of information was much more than needed. The vehicle was very clean but somewhat tight seating for six adults plus the guide.
I would definitely recommend this tour.
