Cyprus is one of the most amazing travel destinations in the world. It’s been given some bad reputation recently because of the conflict between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots, but that shouldn’t stop you from going. The conflict does exist, but it hasn’t escalated and there is no actual fighting going on. The United Nations have some serious presence in the island just to make sure that peace is kept, and there’s no doubt that has worked perfectly. It’s more of a bureaucratic war right now, between the two governments.

Going on holidays to Paphos Cyprus is an amazing experience. For those of you not familiar with Cyprus, the island is in the Mediterranean and close to the Greek islands. Its proximity with Europe, Asia and the Middle East make it an amazing strategic position, but it also provides the tourist with an amazing blend of cultures, in all senses. You can experience amazing food with all sorts of influences and the music in the country is enjoyable even if you happen not to like the particular style, because it fits into the general atmosphere and the landscape of the island.

Paphos is a town in the western part of the island. It’s been around since practically forever, and Paphos, in Greek mythology, it the birthplace of Aphrodite, goddess of Love. If seeing the kind of beauty that could have given birth to the goddess of Beauty isn’t enough to convince you, then read on.

The port in Paphos is probably one of the most beautiful in the world. The city was an important Roman town, residence of the Governor. It didn’t lose its importance throughout the years. That means that Paphos has more than just beautiful beaches and amazing sceneries. There are a lot of historical sites to visit, from ancient Roman sites to early Christian churches and the Tombs of the Kings, an amazing underground necropolis that hasn’t even been fully discovered.

Now, it might not be easy to find a decent deal for a flight and a hotel in Paphos. But that’s why the Internet is your friend. Websites like DealChecker will help you along your way. The site will give you the chance to get a hotel booking and a flight into Cyprus for a good deal, since they buy in bulk and then can offer competitive prices. You’ll also have a chance to look around for a good car rental deal – it might be worth it for the freedom.
