Firstly, as part of the experience, I joined a half-day guided tour of Paphos, which included a visit to the Paphos Archaeological Park. The main feature of the site is its remarkable Roman mosaics, some of the finest anywhere in the Mediterranean.

Intricate, colourful, and beautifully preserved, they tell ancient stories through scenes of gods, heroes, and legends. Plus, walking through the site felt like stepping into Cyprus’s past, surrounded by craftsmanship that has stood the test of time.

Then, we travelled inland to explore the Troodos Mountains and the traditional village of Omodos. It was a world away from the coastline; cooler, greener, and full of timeless character.

Next, we enjoyed a traditional Cypriot lunch with fresh bread, grilled halloumi, olives, and slow-cooked meats. Finally, we walked among olive groves and spotted wild herbs growing along the paths.

Near Omodos, we visited the Monastery of the Holy Cross, one of the oldest monasteries in Cyprus. Then, inside, I saw a sacred relic which is believed to be a piece of the rope used to bind Christ at the crucifixion.

The atmosphere was peaceful and deeply moving, filled with quiet reverence and gentle light. Plus, beautiful woodwork, stone arches, and a cool courtyard added to the sense of stillness.

No visit to Paphos is complete without a walk through the Tomb of the Kings, a vast archaeological site dating back to the 4th century BC. Carved from solid rock, these underground tombs were the resting places of aristocrats, not kings as the name suggests.

Still, the grandeur and scale are breathtaking. Also, it’s a solemn, awe-inspiring place that connects you to Cyprus’s ancient roots.

One highlight was sailing with Paphos Sea Cruises aboard the Ocean Vision. The hospitality was warm, and the coastal views were simply breathtaking from the deck. Later, I did some scuba diving, where the calm waters revealed a quiet, colourful world below the surface.

Also, we visited a traditional winery with a working stone press, followed by a stop in a local town. There, I watched pottery and textile makers at work, a brilliant glimpse into Cyprus’s living craft traditions.
