Find Paphos Holiday Rentals

Glimpse the greatness of ancient Greece and the wonders of southern Cyprus

There are plenty of reasons why Paphos has risen to become one of the most alluring destinations in Cyprus. For starters, there are the bays of crumbling limestone rocks, where regal palms sprout from the sands and the lapping Mediterranean shimmers in hues of green and blue. Then there are the hypnotizing UNESCO-recognised ruins of the Tombs of the Kings – a necropolis dating back to the 4th century BC – and the adjoining Roman villas with their resplendent mosaics and art. Whether you opt for charming Paphos holiday rentals in the middle of the lively Kato area of town, or head to the scrub-dressed hills for more luxurious Paphos holiday villas, you're bound to be enchanted by this corner of the island.

Why book Paphos holiday rentals with ebookers?

If you're keen to plan your own holiday and schedule for hopping between the ancient ruins and lazing on the beaches around south Cyprus, then it might be worth considering Paphos holiday rentals over a traditional hotel. With your very own pad, there's no one around to tell you what time you can have breakfast, or to hog lounge spaces. You'll have plenty more room, too, which is great news for family visitors with countless suitcases to stash. What's more, many holiday villas in Paphos come with on-site pools, driveways and even gardens, meaning they’re a great choice if you want to relax, go for road trips with your hire car, and enjoy halloumi BBQs under the stars.

Top things to do in Paphos

Paphos brims with history. You'll only have to glance around the harbour to see the sturdy rises of the Medieval Castle of Paphos, a Byzantine relic from the middle ages. The entrance for the Paphos Archaeological Park should also be near. This is arguably the top draw of the town, and comes packed with half-ruined villas from millennia gone by, all peppered with colourful mosaics that spin mythic tales of Theseus and the Minotaur, Orpheus and other Greek demigods. The Tombs of the Kings are also part of that protected reserve, but you'll need to head up the coast a little to the north for them. Other things to do include long days on Lighthouse Beach, or jaunts through the tavernas and bars of Kato Paphos.

Getting around in Paphos

Paphos itself is split into 2 distinct areas. There's Kato Paphos, where you're most likely to find the best Paphos holiday rentals, and discover enchanting tavernas and bars. And there's Paphos Ktima, which is the more local part of town. Each can be explored easily on foot, but you may need to hop on the regular local bus connections to get between the quarters. If you're looking to break out to the shimmering bays and beaches, the enthralling archaeological sites and the luxurious Paphos holiday villas that pepper the coast to the north, then it's certainly worth considering renting a car for the duration of your trip.
