Limassol,
Aphrodite emerged from the gentle waves near Pafos, on the island’s western coast, and made her home in this region. Pafos itself is a leading cultural centre of the Mediterranean, with fascinating mosaics to see at the Houses of Aion and Dionysos, St. Paul’s Pillar, the Tombs of the Kings and more. The whole town is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. In the nearby Akamas Peninsula and inland region there are beautiful monasteries, such as Agios Neofytos and Chrysorrogiatissa, picturesque villages and nature trails.
