Paphos Mosaics
Archaeologists report that the site of Paphos has
been inhabited since the Neolithic period. It was a
centre of the cult of Aphrodite and of pre-Hellenic
fertility deities. Aphrodite's mythical birthplace
was on this island, where her temple was erected by
the Myceneans in the twelfth century BC.
|
The remains of villas, palaces, theatres, fortresses
and tombs of the Classical, Hellenistic and Roman
periods mean that the site is of exceptional
architectural and historic value. The mosaics of Nea Paphos are among
the most beautiful in the world.
The port of Paphos was rebuilt by Nicocles, the last
king of Paphos, at the time of Alexander III of
Macedon. It became the capital of the island
replacing Salamis during the Hellenistic era, under
the successors of Alexander III of Macedon – the
Ptolemies who favoured a location closer to their
capital, Alexandria. The theatre dating to the end
of the 4th century BC has been under excavation by
the University of Sydney since 1995: it was partly
excavated from its hillside setting and partly built
up with earth embankments.

Climate
Paphos enjoys a typical Mediterranean
climate, with the greatest amounts of precipitation
mainly occurring from mid-November to March. It
practically never rains in the summer, but
especially in July and August humidity measurements
can go up to 85%, and locking all the citizens in
their cool air-conditioned homes.
Snowfalls occur rarely, approximately every 10
years, though these do not normally lead to
significant if any disruptions at all. Surprisingly
enough though , snowfalls occur by the hills of
Tsada some 6km North almost annually. Last
significant snow fall in the city centre occurred in
Winter 2001.
Generally speaking all seasons of the year are
considered ideal for sightseeing and indeed for all
kinds of outdoor activities. Summers can be
sometimes hot and wet at times .Heat waves are
relatively common and mostly happen during the
months of July and August, when hot air masses come
to Cyprus from the Sahara dessert. It is only on
such days that temperature maxima shoot over 35°C. |
