We travel out on Sunday and also getting married whilst we are there!

When is your wedding? Ours is on the 15th. We are getting married at Zucchini%26#39;s.

Good luck and hope you have a lovely time.

Suggested sights to see would be

Troodos mountains and Kykko monastery.

Mosaics at Paphos

Aphrodites Rock

Curium Ampitheatre and Mosaics

Depends what you like as there are waterparks and go karts etc too. Most of all enjoy the sun and your wedding!!

We get married at the Royal Athena on the 14th. May set a rule that nobody can watch the liverpool V Chelsea match after the reception !!!!!

Thanks on behalf of the OP for your suggestions minniefiona.

Ramo

Have a lovely time you couldn%26#39;t have picked a nicer Hotel!

Seconded Karen, thanks Minnie. I%26#39;ve not been on Paphos forum for a while, getting ready for my Cuba hols on Friday for our son%26#39;s wedding. Should be good, but would be equally happy at the Athena Royal. Congratulations and best wishes Ramo, excellent choice, you%26#39;ll love it there.

Don%26#39;t bother with the tomb of the kings - just a load of holes in the ground - Curium archealogical park is much better.

Go over to Polis and Latchi and go on a boat trip to the blue lagoon thats brill.

Enjoy.

Places to visit

Paphos:

Aphrodite%26#39;s baths. It%26#39;s at Latsi, has a very nice beach but not sandy and the waters are deep. I think its the cleanest beach in Cyprus.

Rock of Romiou/Petra tou Romiou: Legend says that Digenis Akritas(protector of the borders) threw this huge rock to destroy a pillagers ship. Beach there is also very nice but deep.

Castle at the harbour: Old castle(not worth going if there is entrance fee) A lot of cafes on the way to the castle.

There is also an archaological area next to the harbour.

The mosaics.

There is also an anchient church of saint george. It%26#39;s on the way to peyia but when you reach the junction don%26#39;t get of the main road(don%26#39;t make a right to go to Peyia) and keep going straight.

Limassol:

The old city of Amathounta

Ancient theatre of Kourion and the mosaics there.

Medieval Castle which is also a museum(at the old harbour)

Platres village, Omodos village, Leukara village.

If you wish to get souvenirs prefer the Leukara knitting as most shops in Paphos, Limassol and Ayia Napa sell the same souvenirs you can find anywhere in Europe with the name of Cyprus/paphos/limassol imprinted on them.

Larnaca:

Kition

Nicosia/Lefkosia:

The old city within the walls is nice. Don%26#39;t expect anything anchient though.
