Avakas Gorge Nature Trail

@dutchwayfinder

The gorge itself is the most beautiful part but even beyond the gorge you find beautiful nature. Be aware that the gorge is slippy, you need at least a moderate fitness level. To get here by car, look on maps for the Avakas gorge car park. Drive slowly as it is a lot of off roading to get here.

Toxéftra Beach

@dutchwayfinder

Gorgeous wild beach that is super quiet. When I went I was the only one. Waves get quite wild.

Fuel up at Viklari

Viklari

@dutchwayfinder

This restaurant lies on top of a hill and gives great views of the beach you just went to! Frequented by many locals, make sure to be patient on weekends of book a table in advance. They often present a set menu of BBQ meat with large fries and a salad.

Archaeological Site of the Tombs of the Kings

This archeological site is a must see for your trip. The excavations are impressive and the sea gives it all a wonderful background.

Stroll next to stunning mosaics

Archaeological Site of Nea Paphos

@dutchwayfinder

The highlight are the well preserved mosaics that you can find inside buildings and outside. Visit the place just before closing but give yourself at least an hour as the exhibits have quite the walk between them.
