Opções de passeio
Itinerário
Castelo Kolossi, um belo exemplo de arquitetura militar originalmente construída no século XIII.
Anfiteatro Curium, um dos reinos da cidade mais importantes da ilha na antiguidade.
O estádio de Kourion está localizado entre o sítio arqueológico de Kourion e o Santuário de Apollo Hylates em Chipre. Foi construído durante o reinado do imperador Antonino Pio no século II dC e foi usado para os esportes do pentatlo helênico como correr, pular, lutar e lançar o disco ou o dardo. Com sete filas de assentos, o estádio de Kourion pode acomodar cerca de 6.000 espectadores
O Santuário de Apollo Hylati fica a oeste de Kourion e é um dos santuários mais importantes da antiga Chipre
O sítio arqueológico de Palaipafos ('antigo Pafos' em grego) está localizado na vila de Kouklia e foi uma das cidades-reinos mais importantes de Chipre, bem como o primeiro sítio cipriota a ser incluído na Lista do Patrimônio Mundial da UNESCO em 1980 . O Santuário de Afrodite é o mais famoso dos santuários da deusa grega antiga, e seus restos antigos datam do século XII aC, enquanto permaneceu um local de culto até os séculos III e IV dC. Existem duas versões de como Palaipafos foi fundado; uma história conta que Agapenor, o rei de Tegea (Peloponeso), fundou a cidade-reino ao voltar da Guerra de Tróia. Uma segunda lenda conta que Kinyras, o lendário rei local (século XII) foi o fundador e primeiro Sumo Sacerdote do Santuário de Afrodite. O museu, instalado em uma mansão Lusignan, exibe muitos achados interessantes da área e retrata como o Culto da Deusa da Fertilidade evoluiu para o Culto de Afrodite.
Castelo Medieval, originalmente uma fortaleza bizantina que foi construída para proteger o porto e almoço em um restaurante tradicional
A Casa de Dionísio é um monumento de New Paphos e com Palepaphos, juntos foram incluídos na lista de Patrimônio Mundial da UNESCO. A casa foi construída no período romano, no século II dC.

Notável é o piso da entrada, que pertenceu a um edifício anterior do período helenístico e é feito com seixos do mar. I retrata o mítico monstro marinho Scylla

Hello! Thank you for your kind words. We will be glad to welcome you back to our beautiful island and offer you a unique travel experience on your next visit to Cyprus 😊
My daughter and I were visiting from the US and had prearranged several transfers with itaxi. The process was easy and the rates were very good. We were incredibly lucky to have Chryso as our driver and guide during our time in Cyprus. What began as a simple ride to visit a relative turned into something truly special. Chryso was meant to wait in the car for an hour, but my cousin insisted she come inside and join us—and within minutes, it felt like we had known her for years. She was warm, engaging, and gracious, and she even helped translate, making the visit so much richer and more comfortable for everyone. We had scheduled a full-day tour for the following day to see the Tomb of the Kings, the mosaics, and other historic sights, and we specifically requested Chryso again. We were thrilled when she arrived to pick us up. She is incredibly personable and upbeat, speaks excellent English, and has a deep knowledge of the history and stories behind every site we visited. On top of that, she is a confident and very skilled driver, which made the entire day feel relaxed and effortless. By the end of the tour, we were genuinely sad to say goodbye. Chryso didn’t just drive us from place to place—she made the experience memorable, personal, and joyful. We cannot recommend itaxi enough. They were on time, communicative and the cars we immaculate. We will now only use itaxi when we visit Cyprus.
It gives a good and fairly comprehensive overview of pre-Christian coastal Cyprus and gives a first time tourist a look at modern day Cyprus... in all educational and interesting. Commend Chryso our driver who was steady and reliable, and attentive to our needs.
I had a great day seeing all the archeological sites with Steve as my tour guide/driver. He shared a lot about the Cypriot culture and was passionate about the history. Went to a nice bakery for a quick snack. Paphos was beautiful. It was a beautiful day for this tour.
Our guide, Chryso, was wonderful from the start. She picked us up right on time and immediately set the tone with her warm personality, deep knowledge, and the sweetest hospitality. The itinerary was packed with history yet never felt rushed. We visited castles, ancient ruins, UNESCO sites, the harbor and Aphrodite’s Rock and more, and each stop felt meaningful. Chryso always showed us where to get the best views and helped us understand what we were looking at which made the day feel so much richer. Lunch was a highlight too. Since we are staying in Ayia Napa during the off season and struggling to find authentic food, having her take us to a local spot was spectacular! The weather in late November was perfect around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Shorts, tanks and comfortable walking shoes were exactly right. We didn’t end up needing the jackets we brought just in case. My boyfriend wanted to see ruins and this tour exceeded both our expectations. We felt safe, well taken care of, and left with memories we’ll talk about for a long time. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Cyprus!!
Whoa I think I’ve seen the entire Paphos in just one day! Thanks to itaxis and chryso for the amazing tour. Chryso provided water, fruits and she really went her way out to help me find lokoumades! Enjoyed my day and I’m so glad I booked it with them to maximise the little time I have in Cyprus!
Truly an incredible day filled with history, beauty and adventure. Steve our driver was fantastic. He gave us every detail about the island and navigates us to all of our stops with ease. He was friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable. The door to door service was perfect for me and finally. Thank you. Highly recommend this experience as a private event.
I used itaxi for a day trip to Paphos from Larnaca, Cypress including intermediate stops to see Kyrenia Castle, Tomb of the Kings, Aphrodite's Rock, Sanctuary of Apollo, the Kourion Archaeological site, and the incredible mosaics of the Paphos Archaeological Park...and we stopped for lunch at one of the best Greek/Cypriot restaurants I have ever eaten at. My guide, was incredible. Excellent conversationalist (and thus wonderful English), great knowledge about what I was going to see, very safe driver, and made sure that I had plenty of time to visit each site as desired. She also took me to a fantastic Greek restaurant for lunch......what a great food experience!! (that was probably one of the best parts of the tour). This visit was the first day of 10 on my vacation and it is going to be hard to top. Highest recommendation for this tour.
