Wonderful Byzantine architecture, what an interesting place. Don't forget to visit again in the evening so that you can enjoy it all tastefully illuminated.

Having been to Paphos before and thoroughly enjoyed but exhausted the Archeological Park we were after a new site to visit, so went to the ruins of the ancient castle of 40 columns. It was so much fun there with steep steps and plenty to imagine, the kids enjoyed dashing about too.

The castle was once a Byzantine Fort and has an extensive, interesting history. Now it is one of the landmarks of Paphos where many cultural events take place, particularly in the square just in front of the castle. We attended the Paphos Aphrodite Festival which stages its annual opera next to the castle.

The castle dominates the harbourside and it's well worth going inside, in particular for the views from the top! We were lucky enough to catch part of Aphrodite's festival here and it was a wonderful experience.

The Paphos Castle is built near the harbor and one of the bigger attraction s in the area. But you will find a piece of history of Cyprus that you won't find that quickly on this island. And of course from the neighborhood of this castle you can easily take a sun bath or go for a diving/snorkling trip by boat.
