Paphos, Cyprus

Not only is Paphos an old city at the south-western coast of Cyprus; bithplace of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty; part of the UNESCO's treasures of world's heritage and home to approximately 30.000 people. It is also full of British tourists. That's probably because the Cypriots drive as crazy as the English themeselves, namely on the wrong side of the road. The left-hand traffic is a heritage of the fact that Cyprus until 1960 was part of the British Empire. We flew to Paphos with a low-budget airline, found an affordable hotel and enjoyed three days of mediterrean sun. Actually the long weekend seemed like a whole week. Instead of driving by ourselves, we took a taxi - it felt crazy enough just to be the front-seat passenger.
