★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,730 reviews · 8 hours · from $53Our pick

Review of Paphos’ Blue Lagoon and Baths of Aphrodite trip, with boat time, swimming, village lunch, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“I think this is such a well organized trip for visitors. It covers a whole bunch that is worth to see. The weather was great the best thing in october is that you won’t melt in the heat but there’s still about 27-29 degrees. The blue lagoon is beautiful, Aphrodite’s bath is fantastic too and mr. Moustakallis’s restaurant offers tasty dishes at a very reasonable price. The wine fields and Trodoos mountains are really cool too as well as the bananas. Thank you Ana for showing us the face of Cyprus that we didn’t know about. Ana is fantastic, she is nurturing, well spoken, kind and she cares for people.…”

Additional video before entering the ghost town hit home to just how life used to be like there. The visit to Salamis was also fascinating and full of great insights. I genuinely feel like I received a huge history lesson, but in the best and most enjoyable way. A fun, funny, informative, and truly memorable experience! Highly recommended.”

Review of a 7-hour Cyprus day trip from Paphos to Aphrodite’s Rock, Lefkara, Limassol, and Kourion, with practical booking advice.

“We weren’t sure of size of vehicle we would be travelling in. A small 7 seater pulled into the hotel car park, no sign in window. We eventually realised he was looking for us. The vehicle was cramped for the journey we took. I was lucky I was in the front. My wife and friends found it uncomfortable. The driver/guide was very polite and knowledgeable, gave us lots of info. Kourion was interesting an ancient settlement.Then took us to Limassol harbour where we had lunch then not much time to explore. Lefkara was a pretty traditional village. All in all a decent day out tarnished by mode of transport.”
