Paphos is where ancient history meets modern vibrancy, creating the ultimate cultural escape. Imagine a UNESCO World Heritage city by the sea, where Roman ruins tell tales of the past, and cutting-edge arts festivals breathe life into the present. Picture yourself under the stars, watching an independent film on the sandy shore, or feeling the pulse of a Japanese drum ensemble reverberate through the classical Town Hall square.
While Cyprus has long been a beloved destination for sun-seekers, Paphos adds a fresh, artistic buzz to the mix. This southwestern coastal gem is transforming into an Open Air Factory, with a dynamic arts program featuring over 150 projects and 300 events.

This is the third time I have booked with Solmar and the service is excellent. Always very helpful.
Easy to navigate site, view options and book. Confirmation and follow up communications, with information, points of contact and support are very clear and reassuring.
Looked initially on the Solmar website, and then spoke to Ange on the phone. She was very knowledgeable and helpful, and a great asset to the company.
We wanted a complete package, including flights and hire car, and Eleanor from their customer service team went out of her way to get everything just the way we wanted. Fantastic service. We've been with Solmar before and found them to be very efficient so chose them again this time.
I just booked online it was very easy and straightforward I have booked several times with Solmar villa's and have been really pleased with all my bookings I would highly recommend them
Exemplary service from the entire team. So focussed on the customer experience and ensuring that everything is perfect.
The personal service from Kristal was superb. I know I've come to expect this from Solmar, but it is always so appreciated. Keep up the great work and thank you.
Efficient, polite just needs to make small print bigger for overall a good service.
Victoria agent who I spoke with was excellent and very helpful in getting us the right location and villa.
Simple to book and immediate contact to offer further assistance with any extras such as flights ,car hire ,transfers ,etc . Concierge service to help and deal with any queries you may have with your future trip . Overall Solmar appear to be a quality company with the services offered so far . Top marks .
Managed to speak to someone quickly and they emailed information promptly and had listened to what I needed so service was good.. spoke to someone different the next day and all the information had been recorded so the conversation was easy . Biggest benefit was talking to a real person and not having to navigate lots of AI conversations /options .
The phone is answered quickly, staff are polite, helpful and knowledgeable. If you have a query they are always happy to help or sort any problems. We would definitely recommend Solmar.
This is our 6th booking with Solmar Villas. The service is amazing. We book on line and get a follow up phone call, to ask if there is anything else they can support us with. The staff are really helpful, this also includes the representative’s in resort. Would highly recommend Solmar Villas.
Efficient and friendly customer service going through the booking process with me.

A must-visit, Paphos Archaeological Park has a wealth of Roman mosaics that are some of the best-preserved in the Mediterranean.

A grand necropolis dating back to the 4th century BC, the Tombs of the Kings presents an impressive range of rock-cut tombs. Despite their name, the tombs were not reserved for royalty but are notable for their grandeur and the sheer scale of the burial chambers, reflecting the importance of the deceased in ancient society.
Perhaps the most iconic site associated with the goddess, Aphrodite's Rock resembles a dramatic sea stack, set against a stunning coastal backdrop. It's said to be the spot where Aphrodite emerged from the foam of the sea. According to myth, the goddess was born fully formed from the sea and arrived at this very location, which has since become a symbol of beauty and love. The picturesque setting makes it a popular spot for visitors hoping to catch a glimpse of the goddess's mythical beauty and perhaps even experience a bit of magic themselves.
