Discover Cypriot history by taking holidays to Paphos

Tourists who are taking up a stay in Cyprus villas in the near future and are hoping to discover more of the island during their visit have tow fascinating sights to seek out.

A fun-filled day can be had on the Mediterranean island by undertaking a trip to the Agios Neofytos Monastery.

Found in the Cypriot city of Paphos, the site was founded back in the 12th century and houses an eye-catching church and a fascinating museum.
