Here are the available villas for rental in Paphos.

Review by lorna from stalybridge

Paphos is fun and relaxing with plenty to do for all ages. We loved pottering down by the harbour and people watching with a coffee in the cafes. The rock pools were lots of fun for our little one. The only drawback of our holiday was how exceedingly expensive it was for food and drink. This would put us off returning to cyprus until the economy improved.

Heaven on earth

My spouse and I visited Southern Cyprus this year in April 2006. We stayed in Paphos, hired a car for the week, and travelled all over the southern part of the island.
One day, we travelled to Nicosia - the divided city - and walked on foot across the border into North Cyprus.
We fell in love with Cyprus, and as we were only there for a taster - a week - we did not want to return home.
We could easily pack up here and go and live in Cyprus, either north or south - although cost of living is much lower in the North.
For me, it was just heaven on earth.

They say 2089 BC was a good year for wine

From the Mail on Sunday

In Cyprus the past is literally bursting from the ground. A farmer, ploughing his land, is quite likely to turn up the face of a god and, dutifully taking the mosaic to the Department of Antiquities, is given profuse thanks and has his land taken from under his feet. It is cordoned off, excavated - and another amazing slice of history revealed.
Paphos, on the western edge of the island, has so many places now blinking in the sunlight after many centuries below ground that some of them have been buried again for future generations to delve.
Almost next to the exquisite House of Dionysos, a large car park has been laid above an area that is teeming with treasure. The place needs the car park now for all the people who come and wonder; the extra glories will have to wait. It is an embarrassment of riches.
They cannot decide which to show you first. The place where Venus emerged from the sea in the time of myth, an event commemorated a million times by the sale of pert little goddesses on plastic seashells in the souvenir shops. Or the catacomb of Agia Solomoni, where people hang handkerchiefs from a tree in hope of being cured of an illness. Or the column where St Paul was scourged somewhat ungratefully when he was bringing Christianity to Cyprus. Or the stones, the arches, the rooms, the floors; or the local Odeon, an ancient amphitheatre still used today.
The country at this extreme edge of the Mediterranean's third largest island is low and lush, where bananas grow beside the sea, but it gives way to the wild peninsula of Akamas, with its capes and gorges, and, to the east, the first slopes of the Troodos Mountains. In spring, when the snows have melted on Mount Olympus, rivers and cataracts clatter to the coast and the countryside is embroidered with the wildest and most vivid of flowers, acres of them. ... more

Old Roman sites

It is a great place. The people are friendly, there's lots to do and see with boat trips from the harbour or looking around the old Roman sites.
It's a very interesting place to visit.

Not getting away from it all

A really nice part of Cyprus, with good weather most of the year. The only thing I found off-putting was that most of the restaurants, bars and cafes had English menus, and Pizza Hut, McDonald's and Pizza Express were in evidence too! In other words, not somewhere to get away from it all.
If you stay in Paphos itself, make sure you're not too close to the noisy bars, as there are some all-night discos around. If your hotel is a bit further out, then check how far.
We discovered lots of lovely hotels, with great facilities, that were stuck in the middle of nowhere and held the guests to ransom a bit as it was harder to get into town.
There are great things to see around Paphos - ruined castle, mosaics, museums and tombs, if you like that sort of thing. If you've gone to Cyprus for beaches, Paphos itself isn't that impressive, but a short bus journey takes you to Coral Bay which is really top notch, with lots of stuff to do and good facilities.
For a complete change, try a trip into the Troodos mountains, they're really beautiful. Make sure the trip you choose goes in a four-wheel drive vehicle, as you'll get to see more that way. ... more
