The Troodos Mountains in central Cyprus are just an hour from Paphos and offer a dramatically different experience from the coastal resorts — pine forests, Byzantine painted churches (nine of which are UNESCO listed), vineyards producing celebrated Commandaria wine, and the highest peak on the island at Mount Olympos. The Avakas Gorge near Paphos provides a closer taste of Cyprus's wild interior with a spectacular river canyon walk. Hotels in Paphos provide an ideal beach-and-mountain base for exploring the full spectrum of Cypriot landscape and culture.
