The Aphrodite Hills Golf Complex has a championship course just a few miles further up the coast on the road to Limassol. Crowning Aphrodite Hills Resort's outstanding leisure facilities is the magnificent 18-hole golf course, designed by acclaimed course architect, Cabell B. Robinson. Five years in the making, it follows the scenic contours of two plateaux, its challenging fairways cutting a swathe through lakes, olive and carob trees. No wonder the course has taken its rightful place among the very best the Mediterranean can offer.
No matter how many times you play the course, there's always a new challenge. Not least the skill needed to conquer the dramatic holes that run alongside or traverse the dramatic central ravine. Celebrate your success in the sophisticated Clubhouse, overlooking the 18th green and the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean below.

The entire area, including the place where today the houses of the village are built, is an important archaeological region. Excavations have been conducted uncovering, the famous temple of "Aphrodite of Pafos" (Pafia Aphrodite), the remains of the fortification of Palaipafos, and various other artifacts can be found in the archaeological museum which is housed in the medieval villa south of the village.
Paphos is located on the west coat of the Island and is a popular all year round holiday resort, famous for its fishing harbour with many open-air café's, restaurants and shops. Wherever you look in Paphos you will not be able to escape its past, whether it is historical or mythological, there will always be something to capture your imagination. Some sites of cultural and historical interest to explore in and around Paphos include:
Medieval Fort (Paphos Castle) Situated at the end of Paphos harbour, this is a Byzantine Fort built to protect the harbour. Over its history it has been constructed and reconstructed several times and was rebuilt by the Lusignans, dismantled by the Venetians in 1750 and rebuilt by the Ottomans in the 16th century.
The Mosaics Of Paphos Situated near the harbour, the mosaic floors are considered to be amongst the finest in the Eastern Mediterranean. They mainly depict scenes from Greek mythology.
|  | Attractions: Petra Tou Romiou (Aphrodite's Rock) This strikingly beautiful spot is 25kms east of Paphos. Legend dictates that Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty, rose from the waves on this breathtaking coastline. (A tip: If you drive past the tourist café up the hill and on the bend to the right, there is usually a ice cream van. Park there to enjoy freshly squeezed orange juice and the best toasted sandwiches ever! And while you are enjoying your refreshments just take in the breath taking view of Aphrodite's Rock).
Troodos is the biggest mountain range of Cyprus, located in the center of the island. Troodos' highest peak is Mount Olympus at 1,952 meters.
The Troodos mountain range stretches across most of the western side of Cyprus. There are many famous mountain resorts, Byzantine monasteries and churches on mountain peaks, and nestling in its valleys and picturesque mountain villages clinging to terraced hill slopes.
There are nine churches and one monastery in Troodos that are counted among UNESCO's World Heritage Sites and several other monasteries, of which the Kykkos monastery is the richest and most famous.
