Most tourists associate Paphos not only with a beach holiday in the city itself and its immediate environs, but also with the opportunity to get acquainted in detail with the history of mankind, ancient Cyprus, Ancient Rome and Greece, other empires and peoples that influenced the course of history. The surroundings of Paphos are actively developing today and are attractive both in terms of beach holidays and in terms of the effectiveness of investments, for example, in real estate in Cyprus.
One of these places, which has been known since ancient times, is considered to be located about twelve kilometers from Paphos, the village of Kuklia. For a long time, these lands were bought by the wealthiest citizens of the country. This has been going on since ancient times, from the days of the Ottoman sultans to the present day. At the moment, the beautiful villas and houses with sea views located in Kouklia are very attractive for investors.
The picturesque nature of these places will not leave anyone indifferent. Real groves of orange and palm trees, views of the sea and hills will charm every tourist who comes to Kouklia.
The village, which is becoming more and more a modern resort town, also has historical sites. For example, the Church of the Apostle Luke, which is located in the center of the settlement on the square. Only the finest gourmet restaurants and shops are around. Also, these places have long been considered sacred by believers. It is in Kuklia that the ruins of the ancient Temple of the goddess of love Aphrodite with mosaics from ancient times have been preserved.
Christians visit the 12th century Panagia Catolia Temple. It is located on a hill with panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea. These two shrines show how people's belief in the supernatural is being modified over the centuries.
The ancient history of Cyprus, the clash of civilizations, the history of religious cults are reflected in the modern life of the village of Kuklia. If you just came to the island with an excursion purpose, then the village must be visited. If you set a goal to move to Cyprus, then knowledge of the history and traditions of these places will be necessary for you for a better and faster integration into a new life.
