The town of Pafos (Paphos), which is situated at the western end of the island, has developed into a very popular holiday and residential area for overseas visitors, but still manages to retain much of its traditional character.



paphos-harbourUnesco listed archaeological sites, picturesque views and the prevailing sea breezes, which temper the climate throughout the year, make Paphos a very pleasant and prestigious residential location; reflected in the increasing number of Europeans who select the area to purchase homes for holiday and permanent residence. Paphos has it's own International Airport, conveniently located just 10 km east of the town, situated away from the residential areas, with regular flights to Europe.

The motorway which connects to Limassol, the main port and commercial centre (70 km away}, offers easy access to other parts of the island.

Just a short drive from Paphos, you will find some of the most unspoilt scenery on the island, with it's traditional villages, beautiful churches and monasteries, and idyllic life-style, which can be visited, as well as the Akamas Peninsula, an area of unique ecological interest.
