Paphos has long been familiar to those who know about archaeology and ancient ruins on an island where history is measured in millennia rather than years. Sites such as Kato Paphos and the Tombs Of The Kings are evocative springboards into the past, further enhanced by their privileged locations where views of a crystalline blue sea certainly add to the overall experience. Thanks to its role seven years ago as a European Capital Of Culture in 2017, Paphos finally gained the recognition it deserved as a destination not just for history buffs but for anyone looking for a low-key, stress-free island holiday in the sunshine of the Mediterranean.

As one of the sunniest countries in the world, Cyprus is already a favourite destination for Northern Europeans escaping their bleak winters. In recent years, the rest of the world has caught on to the country’s wonders, with Paphos being one of the country’s most popular destinations.

However, some of the most impressive relics of past civilisations were only rediscovered relatively recently. The splendid House of Dionysos was accidentally found by a farmer in 1963. Virtually every new construction project on the island of Cyprus reveals something of the past―a pain for the builders but joy for visitors who enjoy the continually increasing cultural inheritance of one of the oldest inhabited places in the world. Not that Paphos is mired in the past; Cyprus revels in its modernity as much as its history.

The main sights and the archaeological areas of Paphos, along with the nightlife district, are in the town centre. To feel like being on a remote island rather than in a busy resort, staying at the luxurious Asimina Suites on the beachfront just outside the town centre provides mental decompression, which is so important as a balance to busy urban lives at home. Located on Pachyammos Beach just a couple of kilometres from Paphos Castle, Asimina Suites ensures its guests have maximal relaxation with minimal worry.

An unassuming façade belies the standard of excellence inside the building. This adults-only property has a mere 117 units (all suites), which means it never has a crowded feeling even when fully booked; it also means the restaurants and swimming pools are never overrun with unruly children—or, for that matter, with boisterous adults. The hotel keeps its beachfront free of the jetskis and other motorised watercraft found elsewhere, preserving the peace so highly valued by the clientele here.

Adding to the agreeable ambience and pleasant surroundings, the well-trained staff at Asimina Suites are only too happy to assist guests in making their time at the hotel more enjoyable.
