Each year thousands of visitors to Pafos decide to get married here.
Why? Because, although abroad and away from their families, unbridled romance and blissful relaxation awaits honeymooners in Pafos, the land where love itself was born. It was here in Pafos, after all, that the ancient goddess of love, Aphrodite, emerged from the sea at Petra tou Romiou clothed only in sea foam . . . it may have happened in 3200 B.C. but her amorous spirit still reigns in Cyprus. The allure of antiquity, the warmth of the Mediterranean Sea and sun, and the legendary hospitality of the Cypriots themselves make Pafos - Cyprus the ultimate honeymoon and wedding destination.
Romance is always what you make it, but in Cyprus the spirit of Aphrodite can only help. As Aphrodite once did, newlyweds will delight in the splendors of Cyprus’ natural environment. You can see the spot where she bathed in a natural grotto (some say to renew her virginity after each one of her many and varied trysts) on the still pristine Akamas Peninsula. The stunning coastline, clean beaches and warm, clear waters invite spontaneous swims any time of the day.
Plan an outdoor wedding ceremony, book the town hall or a medieval chapel for your vows. Drink a toast to your future with one of the oldest wines in the world, part od 4000 year old tradition of wine making on the island. Impress your guests with a lavish banquet of local dishes or international cuisine.
With secluded coves, popular resorts, sun drenched beaches, sparkling blue seas and breathraking sunsets, Pafos is sure to put a sizzle into your love life!
