Paphos,
Cyprus: the Perfect Family Getaway Destination by Isla Campbell
As
cultural family getaways go, there are countless destinations to choose
from - ranging from beach tropical settings to city locales. However, an
increasing number of families are in search of holiday destinations that
are slightly "off the beaten path". Still, opting for such destinations
doesn't mean you have to forego some of the more enjoyable "touristy" aspects
of a holiday - such as museums, landmarks, festivals and more. If you're
looking for a cultural getaway destination to take the whole family, but
don't necessarily want the crowds, head to Paphos, Cyprus - a gem in the
Mediterranean region. |

| A
small town located on the southwestern tip of Cyprus, Paphos has much to
offer families who want all the great aspects of a cultural getaway, without
all the tourists. Renowned as the birthplace of Greek goddess Aphrodite
- the goddess of love and beauty - it's already apparent that Paphos has
a certain historic allure to it. But this notion is soon fortified by way
of Paphos' historical and cultural attractions - from Paphos Archaeological
Park and the Tombs of the King, to Paphos Fort - which served as a fort
and prison under many administrators. The Odeon, a classic Greek amphitheatre
within Paphos Archaeological Park, is also highly worth seeing - and the
amphitheatre occasionally holds plays and musical performances, which are
a truly special treat.
Traveling
to Paphos with children? They'll love Paphos Bird Park and Paphos Aphrodite
Water Park - a large themed water park boasting plenty of slides, river
rides, wave machines, and more. Of course, Paphos is also famous for its
many beaches - so whether you want to lounge under the golden sun or partake
in some water sports, Paphos offers ideal opportunities to do either. Paphos
is also within easy reach of other popular destinations in Cyprus - such
as Episkopi and Mandria - enabling you to take day trips from Paphos.
Another
great aspect to Paphos is that it can be enjoyed on all budgets. Whether
your family wants to take a budget holiday or a luxury getaway, you'll
find hotels, restaurants, and activities to suit your spending style. Many
activities, such as going to the beach and touring around the town's landmarks,
are free - so budget conscious travellers can enjoy an outstanding holiday
in Paphos without spending much. Alternatively, you might choose to stay
in a 5 star family hotel to receive high-class service, amenities and accommodations.
But no matter which way you go about it, you can count on a memorable holiday
experience with the whole family in Paphos. |
