Paphos, a World Heritage Site
On Saturday June 14, GLS Summer 2008 in Cyprus students went for three days to the beautiful city of Paphos in Cyprus. On our way to Paphos we had the opportunity to visit the spectacular Kolossi Castle and Kourion Amphitheater in Limassol. In Paphos the group visited the Petra tou Romiou, “The rock of the Greek”, which is according to legend is the birthplace of Aphrodite, where we took some wonderful pictures as the beautiful scenery demands. We then continued on to the Paphos Medieval Fort where we visited the famous mosaics and the house of Dionysos.

During our stay in Paphos we got to enjoy the gorgeous beaches and also work on our tan ☺ Some of us even got together and went out for Karaoke night!
On our way back to Nicosia on Monday, the group had a lunch stop at the traditional village of Lefkara. Lefkara is famous for its local lace called “Lefkaritika” and for its stunning church of the Holy Cross.
