Cyprus offers the perfect mix of fantastic weather, cultural sights, secluded places to relax and romantic excursions - all on one island. Here are five sights that are a must-see on your trip. 
 
 
 
1. Aphrodite’s Rock
Aphrodite’s Rock is also known as Petra tou Romiou. Mythology says that this is the very spot where Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, rose from the waves.
Legend says that if you swim around the rock three times at midnight, you will have eternal youth. 
 
 
2. A romantic walk around Paphos harbour 
The entire town of Paphos is a listed UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wander around the beautiful harbour with your new husband and check out all the beautiful boats and the
amazing views. 

 


3. Watch the sunset from The Trodos mountains
Set out for a secluded walk on the alpine-esque slopes of the Troodos mountains at the very heart of the island. Stop for a picnic, a spot of wine-tasting and to admire the stunning views of unspoilt countryside. 
 
 
4. Baths of Aphrodite, Paphos

The Baths of Aphrodite are in the Akamas – a region named after Akamantas, an Athenian warrior and son of Theseus. 
Legend has it that the goddess Aphrodite bathed here, and it was here that she seduced her lover Adonis. The poppies which spring up around the area are said to mark the spots where Adonis’ blood was spilled when Aphrodite’s husband discovered the affair. 

 


5. Kato Paphos Archeological Park
The park includes sites and monuments from prehistoric times to The Middle Ages. The mosaics depict scenes from Greek mythology – including some of the most famous love trysts of all time - and offer a fantastic and intriguing cultural visit.
