Paphos
Paphos has been inhabited since the Neolithic period. It
was a centre of the cult of Aphrodite and of pre-Hellenic fertility
deities. Aphrodite's legendary birthplace was on this island, where her
temple was erected by the Myceneans in the 12th century B.C. The remains
of villas, palaces, theatres, fortresses and tombs mean that the site
is of exceptional architectural and historic value. The mosaics of Nea
Paphos are among the most beautiful in the world.
