What interesting places to visit?
Vacationers in Paphos will be interested in visiting the Hamam Museum: those who visit it will get to the exhibition, which displays bath accessories and items related to the theme of hygiene traditions at different times; and the Archaeological Park: the ruins of a medieval fortress and other structures of the 2nd century AD, as well as mosaics from the Roman period of the house of Dionysus and mosaics with mythological subjects of the house of Aeon are subject to inspection.
Those who have paid attention to the Port Fortress will visit the exhibition gallery with 5 halls (free of charge) and climb to the upper part, which serves as an observation deck (those wishing to admire the beautiful panorama of Paphos and the Mediterranean Sea will pay about 2 euros for the entrance). In addition, a cultural festival is organized at the walls of the fortress every year in September.
On any Sunday, it makes sense to go to the flea market located not far from the Beauty Line shopping center - where locals and artisans who come here from nearby villages offer all visitors to become owners of inexpensive and original souvenirs.
Those who are not indifferent to waterfalls are recommended to go to the 2-cascade waterfall Adonis Baths Waterfalls (located 12 km from Paphos): according to legend, it was here that Adonis met with Aphrodite, where their statues are now installed. Since the waters of Adonis Bath Waterfalls flow into the pond, everyone can swim in it. As for the fair sex, they will be offered to use special masks (they are based on healing mud).
The Bird and Animal Park is a place worth going to get acquainted with kangaroos, giraffes, toucans, peacocks and take pictures of the inhabitants of the park as a memory of their visit. In addition, there you can find a restaurant, playgrounds, a souvenir shop and watch the bird show in a special amphitheater three times a day.
Fans of water activities will love the Paphos Aphrodite Waterpark (see www.aphroditewaterpark.com for a map of its location). It is famous for grottoes, Lazy River and The Raging River, Wave Pool, water slides “Free Fall”, “Kamikaze”, “Racer”, “Super Volcano”, “Family Rafting”, children's area with a pirate ship.
