The Paphos Archaeological Park (also Kato Paphos Archaeological Park) contains most of an important ancient Greek and Roman city. Paphos is located on a small peninsula on the southwestern coast of Cyprus, protected on its northern slopes by the Troodos Mountains. Still, under excavation, the park is situated in the Nea Pafos ("New Paphos") section of the coastal city.

When we talk about Cyprus, the first things that come to mind are the sun, the beach, summer, nature, and of course, the goddess of beauty, Aphrodite.

Away from the large tourist and commercial areas, Lara Beach is a spectacular piece of uninhabited coastline, full of wild corners. Protected by calcareous rocks, the sand on this beach is soft and fine. It is a magical place at dusk, which must be walked carefully due to the latent danger of stepping on any of the turtle nests that abound on the beach. Lara Beach is one of the two great enclaves where green turtles go to feed and lay their eggs.

What is a dog park and why do we need them in all Cyprus districts? Dog parks are essential spaces for pets to exercise and have fun. For now, they favour the dog’s development and mental balance, thus avoiding aggressive behaviours.

In the southwest of Cyprus, there is a town full of stories and multiple attractions, typical of the charm that Greek mythology offers us. Of Phoenician origin -although the region was inhabited since the Neolithic-, Paphos is considered the birthplace of Aphrodite, a Greek deity who represents beauty, sensuality and love.
