1. Petra Tou Romiou

According to legend, the goddess Aphrodite was born on this rock, most likely due to the foaming water surrounding the rock fragments, hence the name Aphrodite's Rock, which is located along the main road connecting Paphos and Limassol. The area's beauty, combined with its mythical status as Aphrodite's birthplace, has made it a popular tourist destination.

The beaches offer magnificent views of the rocks in all their forms and colors, and with the waves breaking over the shore, it is a good choice for you to walk along the coast. Good walking shoes are recommended, as the beach is quite rough, although the rough waters here are not suitable for swimming or climbing the rocks. Near the beach are restaurants, tourist houses, and the Aphrodite Hills Resort.

2. Monastery of Caicos

Located in the hills west of the inland city of Pedoulas, the Monastery of Caicos is a magnificent Byzantine complex built in the late 11th century. It is also a popular destination for tourists.

3. Archaeological Site of Nea Paphos

The Paphos Archaeological Park (also known as Kato Paphos Archaeological Park) contains the central part of the important ancient Greek and Roman city of Paphos, located southwest of Cyprus.

6. Hala Sultan Tekke

This historical mosque is located on the road to Kiti, 3 kilometers west of Larnaca, near the main salt lake. Its origins can be traced back to 648 A.D., after the Arab army landed in Larnaca when Muhammad's nurse and aunt - Umm al-Haram - fell off a mule and died. The expedition's Grand Khalif Moawiyah immediately ordered the construction of a mosque on the site.

The mosque is now the most important Muslim pilgrimage site in Cyprus. It is also a popular tourist destination, and if you enjoy archaeology and learning about history, it is well worth visiting.
