Consider making the most of your cheap package holidays to Paphos by hiring a car; giving you the opportunity to see some of the island without having to rely on a bus.
One local historical sight well worth seeing are The Ayia Solomoni Church and Catacomb which was the praying place for the Christian Cypriots during the time when the Romans had forbidden the practice and all belief in Christianity.
The chapel is of the 12th century, which is located near to the catacomb. A big tree now just outside the catacomb is known locally as the “Wishing Tree”. According to tradition placing a piece of cloth on one of the branches will make your wish come true.
Also worth seeing is the House of Dionysos, with its' well-preserved mosaic exhibiting Ganymede and the Eagle, Dionysos the God of Wine being carried on a chariot. The Mosaics of Apollo, Daphne, Pyramos and Thisbe are equally impressive.
