There is variety of choices and things to do in Paphos, even for the most demanding travelers. Start exploring the town by visiting the great Archaeological Park, situated by the harbour of Paphos.

Next, you should visit Aphrodite’s Rock, also known as Petra tou Romiou,  which is on your way from Paphos to Limassol. According to the legends it is the exact birthplace of the Goddess of Beauty and Love. It is said that around the giant rock, that dominates the sea, white foam appeared and Aphrodite rose and was born intο the world. Her name in Greek (Αφρός + δύομαι = Αφροδίτη) means exactly that, Aphro (=foam) + dite (=rose from the sea). 
Adonis, who was Aphrodite’s great love, met with her by the waterfalls which today are located in Kili Paphos and are named Adonis Baths Waterfalls.  Experience a refreshing swim under the waterfalls, walk around the forest that surrounds it and explore the natural landscape as on the warm days of Cyprus this is an ideal place to cool down.

3. Where to get married in Paphos?
The beautiful thing about Paphos is that its diversity offers you endless choices in wedding venues and locations. It all depends on your needs and desires. 
First, you have to consider the budget available. There are plenty of wedding venues for a small budget as well as for a generous pocket. You can find very affordable packages for your wedding ceremony, reception and stay. Visit BookYourWeddingDay.com and consult with your travel agent and wedding planner.
Next, design your wedding style. Ask yourself whether you would like to get married barefoot on a beach or something more luxurious. Do you prefer a traditional and natural setting or a modern, minimalistic option? It all comes down to how you want to experience your wedding day abroad and what represents you. 
Also,  think of your wedding party. How many guests are you hosting and what type of guests are coming. If you desire a more private ceremony and reception, book a smaller venue but if you are bringing along a lot of people, a larger venue is more suitable. You should plan your wedding according to the type of guests too. When you are travelling with children, it's best to book a venue, where the little fellas can play, run around and entertain themselves without being bored. If elderly people are coming along, look for a venue easily accessible to them with appropriate sitting, so they can rest when they get tired. 
Another point to ponder upon, is how long you are staying before and after the wedding. It is advisable to book a ceremony and a reception at a resort, a hotel or a venue near the place you are staying at or even the exact same location, for a better price package and more comfort in transfer. Paphos is an ideal destination for a honeymoon, therefore you can combine it with your wedding.
