Food and Drink in Paphos Region

The Paphos region in Cyprus is not only a treasure trove of historical and natural wonders but also a haven for food enthusiasts. The local cuisine is a tasty blend of Mediterranean flavours, influenced by centuries of cultural exchange. From delicious meze platters to exquisite local wines, the food and drink of Paphos is an array of olive oil, fresh fruits, vegetables, and aromatic herbs.

A quintessential Cypriot dining experience, meze is a symphony of small, flavourful dishes meant for sharing. From creamy hummus to sizzling halloumi cheese, Souvlaki (skewers of grilled meat or chicken), and Stifado (a beef stew cooked in red wine and vinegar), there is so much to discover.

Paphos also boasts an exceptional seafood scene with local tavernas showcasing the day's catch, which is expertly grilled and seasoned to perfection. Finally, no meal in Paphos is complete without indulging in the ultimate Cypriot desserts: Loukoumades - golden honey-soaked orbs that melt in your mouth, or Baklava, layers of flaky pastry and nuts.

Then there's the wine. Cyprus is famous for its wine production with the vineyards of Paphos producing wines for millennia. Cypriot wines are typically made from local grape varieties, such as Xynisteri, Maratheftiko, and Lefkada. Cypriot wines are generally dry and full-bodied, with flavours of fruit, spice, and herbs. There are a number of wineries in the Paphos region, and you can find their wines served at many of the local restaurants. Or visit the vineyards themselves for a private wine tasting session.

History and Culture in Paphos Region

From ancient archaeological wonders to vibrant traditions that still thrive today, Paphos is a region steeped in history and culture that dates back to the 4th century BC. The city was once a major centre of trade and culture, and many ancient ruins can still be seen.

Legend has it that Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, emerged from the foamy waves near Paphos' shoreline. The iconic Aphrodite's Rock, or Petra tou Romiou, stands as a tangible link to this ancient myth. The Sanctuary of Aphrodite, tucked in the hills, was once a revered pilgrimage site, drawing worshippers from far and wide.

There's the The Tombs of the Kings, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Kato, Paphos, offering a glimpse into Paphos' regal past. Carved out of solid rock, these underground tombs served as the final resting place for Hellenistic and Roman aristocrats. The exquisite mosaics of Paphos, found in both public and private spaces, tell stories of gods, heroes, and daily life in antiquity.

Then there's the House of Dionysus, a Roman villa with well-preserved mosaics; Paphos Castle, a medieval castle with stunning views of the city and the Mediterranean Sea; or the Byzantine Museum, a museum with a collection of Byzantine art and artifacts.
