Paphos
Cyprus for a perfect
holiday: Cyprus is the third largest Island in the Mediterranean, it is
an island of beauty and a country of contrasts. Cool, pine-clad
mountains are a complete scene-change after golden sun-kissed beaches.
Tranquil, timeless villages are in striking contrast to modern
cosmopolitan towns. Luxurious beach side hotels can be exchanged for
large areas of natural unspoilt countryside. Yet in Cyprus all distances
are easily manageable, mostly on modern roads and highways - with a
secondary route or two for the more adventurous. The summers are long
and hot, fruit trees buckle under the weight of their bounty as do the
vines, the grapes of which go into producing some fine local wines. The
Island has long been of great strategic importance and boasts the legacy
of many of its occupying empires, fortifications built by the Crusaders
still stand. A holiday here is idyllic, there is lots to see and plenty
to do, the welcome is warm and the weather likewise.
Local shopping in
Paphos: Part and parcel of any holiday is the question of what
to take home. Leather is very good value. The shoe shops stock
up-to-date styles at very reasonable prices. Handbags, suitcases and
jackets are a good bargain. Shoes and jackets, as well as men's suits
and shirts, can be made-to-measure within a week or so. Handicrafts
abound on every shopping street. A good spot to view them is the Cyprus
Handicraft Centre in Lefkosia, with retail shops in every town. Small
items of the distinctive, traditional pottery make good gifts, and so
does Cyprus copper ware and filigree silver. Always popular is the
beautiful 'Lefkaritika' or ' Lefkara Lace'. Folkweave, needle and
crochet work, woodwork and basketwork are a few more of the things
visitors like to take home with them, not to mention Cyprus brandy which
can be bought by the demijohn, Commandaria and even Halloumi - the
Cyprus cheese.
Golfing:Paphos is the new jewel in the crown for golfers seeking golf
breaks in the warmth of the eastern Mediterranean. It offers golfers
challenging world class championship courses, warm hospitality and
almost year round sunshine. In Cyprus there are three 18 hole golf courses to

Valley Golf Club is 18 kilometres east of Paphos lying within a scenic
