Location

Paphos is a coastal city in the southwest of Cyprus and the capital of Paphos District. In antiquity, two locations were called Paphos: Old Paphos and New Paphos. The currently inhabited city, New Paphos, lies on the Mediterranean coast, about 50 km (31.07 mi) west of Limassol (the biggest port on the island). 

Paphos is also the mythical birthplace of Aphrodite and is an open air museum of Byzantine churches and Roman ruins interspersed with al fresco restaurants and café bars.

The Annabelle is the closest hotel to Paphos’s picturesque fishing harbour, ancient port and the UNESCO-listed House of Dionysos, containing Cyprus’s world-renowned Roman mosaics.

Paphos International Airport is the country's second-largest airport and is 16 km away from The Annabelle. The drive time is approximately 20 minutes.

Group Activity 1: Paphos Tombs of the Kings – Mosaics – Aphrodite’s Rock

We have arranged an exciting group activity for the 2016 3rd Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Conference participants. The tour will take place during free time on Wednesday 02nd November 2016.

Paphos is one of the cities in Cyprus where you can best understand the culture civilizing influence the Roman occupiers made. Here, Greek history and mythology is combined with Roman life art at the time of the emerging Christianity on the island. More than in any other city, the visitor is experiencing cultural history at every turn. One example and an unforgettable experience is one of the most remarkable testimonies of Roman art on the island, the Roman villas with their unique floor mosaics, which will be our first stop. Another interesting site to visit is the Tombs of the Kings. The last stop takes us out of Paphos to the birthplace of Aphrodite – Petra tou Romiouor known also as Aphrodite Rock.

The tour is optional and should you wish to participate we would ask that you email laura@fusion-conferences.com to confirm your participation no later than Wednesday 26th October 2016 as we are required to confirm numbers in advance in order to arrange appropriate transportation.
