Limassol town
Limassol town is a city rich in sights and museums. Its historical cultural values and ancient excavations definitely deserve your attention. To ensure that your acquaintance with them leaves only pleasant memories, do not forget to bring water and comfortable shoes with you.
A long seafront with tall palm trees and open cafes will lead you to the seaport. In the waterfront cafe, you can try local food, enjoy an English breakfast with a view of the ships and fishing boats, or just have a coffee and visit the Medieval fortress.
Mediterranean Sea Cyprus
The Mediterranean Sea is one of the most cleanest. Tidy sand stretch almost along the entire coast of Paphos. People open the sea season already in April-May, while the cypriots come to the beaches only by the June- July. The torridest period is the end of July-August. Therefore, if you prefer temperate climate, warm water and fewer tourists, September-October is the best time for a comfy stay.
At the end of spring, the sea is still quite cool, but the eyes are pleasing with the incredible flowers around. At this time, after the winter rains, the island dresses up, flowers bloom are everywhere on the bushes and trees.
The atmospheric streets of the Old Town in Limassol are made for unhurried evening walks with the family. Picturesque villages in the suburbs are populated mainly by aged and very good-natured people. Medieval color, mountain landscapes, traditional taverns.
By the way, a small advice from Cyprus taxi services – if you are choosing a place for a dinner, you should give preference to the place in which there are the most Cypriots. They know really tasty places.
Visit old churches and small churches. In them, believers will be able to venerate icons and holy relics. Group excursions to monasteries are very popular, but if you prefer privacy, there is a lot of information on the Internet with which you can make your own route.
A small reminder of what you should definitely take with you on any excursion:
- water, preferably a couple of bottles
- sunglasses
- hat
- camera
- sunscreen
Paphos city
Paphos /ˈpæfɒs/ (Greek: Πάφος [ˈpafos] , Cypriot Turkish: Baf) is a coastal city in southwest Cyprus and the capital of Paphos District. In classical antiquity, two locations were called Paphos: Old Paphos, today known as Kouklia, and New Paphos.
The current city of Paphos lies on the Mediterranean coast, about 50 km (30 mi) west of Limassol (the biggest port on the island), both of which are connected by the A6 highway. Paphos International Airport is the country’s second-largest airport. The city has a subtropical-Mediterranean climate, with the mildest temperatures on the island.
In 1980, Paphos was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List for its ancient architecture, mosaics, and ancient religious importance. It was selected as a European Capital of Culture for 2017 along with Aarhus.

Ways to get around the island and their main pros and cons
Book a taxi in advance
The taxi will arrive on time, equipped for the right number and age of passengers and luggage. The prices can be found on the website so you don’t need to worry about surcharges. All our drivers are officially licensed. A licensed driver is the key to your safety on the traveling.
Local taxi
Not all drivers are licensed. Travel costs are often inflated. If you are traveling in a large company, with children, or if you have large luggage with you, then finding a appropriate auto can take a long time, sometimes an hour or more.
Cyprus Buses
Public transport in Cyprus is not the most convenient way to get around, as daytime routes end trips around 19: 00. On Saturday and Sunday the time distance between routes increases, and in the suburbs it stops altogether.
The bus from Paphos airport to the city runs about once an hour from 10: 35 to 21: 05.
But from Larnaca airport to get to Paphos by bus is much more difficult. You will first have to get to the bus station in the port of Limassol and then transfer to the bus towards Paphos.
A few times a year bus drivers stage protests during which they completely stop their work for several hours or days.
Car rent
There is left-hand traffic in Cyprus, so the first days you drive, you must be especially careful. The driver is interdicted to hold a mobile phone, drink, eat food. Gas stations are located mainly near settlements. If you are planning a trip to the mountains, it is worth filling up a full tank first.
