Χτισμένη στη νοτιοδυτική ακτή της Κύπρου, η Πάφος με τη μακραίωνη και πολυτάραχη ιστορία της, θεωρείται ένα κόσμημα της Μεγαλονήσου τόσο για την ομορφιά της όσο και για και τον πλούσιο πολιτισμό της. Το σύγχρονο με το παλιό, συνδυάζονται εδώ με ένα μοναδικό τρόπο καθώς νεοκλασικά και μοντέρνα κτίρια, μνημεία και αρχιτεκτονικά λείψανα του παρελθόντος συνυπάρχουν αρμονικά, συνθέτοντας την εικόνα μιας σαγηνευτικής σύγχρονης πόλης. H Πάφος σήμερα αποτελεί δικαιολογημένα έναν από τους πιο δημοφιλείς προορισμούς στην Κύπρο, αφού εδώ μπορεί να βρει κανείς τα πάντα: μοναδικά αξιοθέατα, υπέροχες παραλίες και αμέτρητες επιλογές για διασκέδαση.
