Paphos (or Pafos) is a town in Cyprus whose history dates back to the Neolithic period. It was in Paphos that the mythological goddess Aphrodite was born and along with her came the legendary upsurge of cult worship that lasted for many centuries. The Myceneans were the first who built a temple in her name in 12th century B.C. Today, the architectural and cultural remains, dating from Hellinistic times to the Roman periods, are a proof to the city’s long forgotten extraordinary historical value. Modern Paphos Today, 47,300 people reside in Paphos and the town is a fast developing tourist centre. An important fishing harbour, the city is divided into two parts: Ktima, the main residential district and Kato Pafos, which is by the sea, is a port and contains most of the luxury hotels, restaurants and tourist places. The two parts are well connected by Apostolou Pavlou Avenue also known as St. Paul’s Avenue. This busy road begins at the city centre and ends outside the Medieval Fort.
