Suggested Itinerary

Take a half-day ride from 1Paphos and follow the beautiful West Coast of the third-largest island in the Mediterranean—Cyprus. Your day begins with a personal pickup from your hotel or apartment in Paphos by your English-speaking Welcome Driver, who will suggest an ideal route while keeping the experience completely flexible.

Your first stop is Petra tou Romiou, also known as 2Aphrodite's Rock, located around 25 km from Paphos. According to local legend, this dramatic coastal landmark marks the birthplace of Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty. The contrast between the rugged rocks and the deep blue sea makes this one of the most iconic and photogenic places on the island.

Next, your driver will take you to 3Paphos Archeological Park, one of Cyprus’ most important archaeological treasures. Located in Nea Pafos, this UNESCO World Heritage Site reveals the heart of the ancient Greek and Roman city, with remarkable mosaics, villas, and ruins that showcase centuries of history.

Within the same area, you’ll find 4Medieval Castle of Paphos, a historic fort originally built to protect the port of Paphos. Standing proudly by the harbor, it offers insight into the city’s medieval past and its strategic importance through the ages.

Continue on to 5Tombs of the Kings, another UNESCO-listed site and one of Cyprus’ most fascinating landmarks. Known as the Tombs of the Kings, this ancient burial ground was carved directly into the rock and served as the resting place of Paphitic aristocrats, impressing visitors with its scale and architectural detail.

Later, head north to 6Coral Bay, a beautiful 500-meter-long beach with golden sands and shallow, crystal-clear waters. Coral Bay is ideal for swimming, relaxing, or enjoying a seaside walk. Nearby, you’ll find a variety of restaurants and cafés, and your Welcome Driver will gladly recommend top-rated local spots for a meal or refreshing drink.

After enjoying the coast and scenery, your half-day ride comes to an end, and your friendly Welcome Driver will comfortably drop you back at your accommodation in Paphos, leaving you with lasting memories of Cyprus’ legendary west coast.
