History & heritage
Paphos wears its history openly. The whole town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to the Tombs of the Kings and the celebrated Roman mosaics at the Paphos Archaeological Park, while legend places the birthplace of Aphrodite on the coast nearby — the source of the Aphrodite Hills name. Inland, the Troodos foothills hide painted Byzantine churches and old stone villages, and Minthis Golf Club itself shares its hillside with a centuries-old monastery. Cyprus blends Greek warmth with layers of crusader, Venetian and Ottoman history, so a few hours away from the course reward the curious.
