Welcome to Cyprus!
Visit the island of love and beauty, the island of hospitality.
It is said,
"scratch the soil anywhere in Cyprus and you will find traces of its magnificent past".
This is no exaggeration. Evidence of the island's 9,000 years of history is scattered throughout the island.
Remains from the Neolithic period bear witness to the existence of an ancient civilization. According to tradition many of the ancient cities of Cyprus were founded by the heroes of the Trojan War whom also Hellenised the island.
Assyrians, Phoenicians, Egyptians and Persians all passed through the island. This strategically important island was part o the Roman Empire for four centuries. Excavations have brought to light temples and palaces, amphitheatres and baths. Just as magnificent are the early Christian basilicas; equally magnificent are the Byzantine churches with their beautiful mosaics and icons. And then Crusader castles, Venetian fortifications.
Paphos being the Roman capital of Cyprus, offers an abundance of historic sites to visit, most being just a 5 minute drive away from the Coral Beach Hotel & Resort.
Most of the rare plants are concentrated in the two mountain ranges and in the Akamas peninsula which borders the Coral Beach Hotel & Resort. A jeep safari to the Akamas Peninsula will make a memory of a lifetime. On entering this area of outstanding natural beauty you will soon be aware that it has been undisturbed for centuries.
The Greek Orthodox Church has been the mainstay of religion in Cyprus since the 1st century AD. and in a society where the church continues to play an important role, old style values have been maintained and the family unit retains close-knit qualities that keep colorful customs alive and underline the warm-hearted character of Cyprus.
Birthplace of Aphrodite
According to legend, Aphrodite goddess of love and beauty, rose from the waves in this strikingly beautiful spot. The Greek name, Petra tou Romiou 'The Rock of the Greek' is associated with the legendary frontier-guard of Byzantine times Digenis Akritas, who kept the marauding Saracens at bay with amazing strength. It is said that he heaved this large rock into the sea destroying the enemy's ship.
