MORE ABOUT PAPHOS
Hit the Beach
Paphos is one of the perfect places for beach lovers with its longest coastline. Coral Bay and Vrysoudia Beach are the most beautiful blue flagged sandy beaches with shallow water and is best known for water sports activities. The crystal clear waters are excellent for swimming and other water games and makes it a perfect destination for families. Latchi in the coastal town boasts golden sands, calm and clean waters with facilities like restaurants, bars and plenty of water sports for people of all ages.
Visit The Paphos Zoo
This attraction was once the private menagerie and aviary of a local businessman and animal collector, Christos Christoforou and decided to open his zoo up to the public with the aim of showing off his collection and educating visitors about animal conservation. The zoo is situated in a landscaped environment and houses monkeys, giraffes, tigers, white lions, kangaroos, and more. The bird area is possibly the most interesting, with more than 200 species including a wide range of birds of prey.
Aphrodite Water Park
A family-favourite for those long summer days, Aphrodite Waterpark is the largest attraction of its kind on this side of Cyprus. In all it has 17 rides and attractions with something for both the big kids and toddlers. There are four high-speed plunges for people who want to get the adrenaline pumping, including Racer, in which you face off against your friends to see who can get to the bottom of this tube ride first. More sedate is Lazy River, a mile-long float beneath waterfalls and fountains that drops you right back at your sun lounger.
Horse Riding
If you’re visiting Paphos with kids and want to get away from the beach for a while then there’s no shortage of things to do. One option that will go down well is a horseback ride or pony trek. There are stables just outside the town, like the Eagle Mountain Ranch with a range of trips into the lovely Mediterranean scenery just outside Paphos. You could even saddle up for an overnight trip and camp out in the aromatic pine scrub and olive groves, while couples could take a twilight ride to see the sun go down off the western coast of the island.
