Cyprus is engrained with history. In fact, the entire town of Paphos, is a designated UNESCO Heritage site. Most of the archeological attractions in the city, which has been inhabited since Neolithic times, are easily accessible. Its glorious Roman mosaics are just a stroll from the bustling harbor and part of a wider archeological park. Just half an hour from the city lies the wild and beautiful Akamas Peninsula at the western tip of the island. Akamas Peninsula is home to Baths of Aphrodite, a shaded natural pool and shower where the goddess beautified herself, according to myth. Ref: CNN Travel
