    Exploring the ancient ruins in Paphos was a highlight for our family, especially when we stumbled upon the stunning mosaics that left us in awe. The guide was enthusiastic and shared fascinating stories about the UNESCO heritage sites, making history come alive for our kids. However, we felt a bit rushed during some parts, as we would have loved to linger longer at a few spots to soak in the atmosphere.

    I had an incredible time visiting the stunning archaeological park in Paphos, where the intricate mosaics took my breath away. The guide was knowledgeable, but I wish there had been a bit more time to explore each site at my own pace. Overall, this excursion was a fantastic way to immerse myself in the rich heritage just a short drive from Limassol.
