Overview

Welcome to Cyprus!
We’re Ascot Travel & Tours, a family-run company established in 1990.
Discover Paphos — a UNESCO World Heritage city where ancient history meets stunning coastal scenery.

Our journey begins at Kolossi Castle, a medieval fortress from the Crusader era, followed by the ancient city of Kourion and its impressive Greco-Roman theatre with sea views. We’ll also visit the Sanctuary of Apollon Hylates, beautifully set on a hilltop.

Next, enjoy a coffee break at Aphrodite’s Birthplace, the legendary spot where the Goddess of Love was born. In Paphos, explore the Mosaics of the House of Dionysos, then relax with free time at the harbour. On our way back to Limassol, we stop at Geroskipou Village to taste the traditional Cyprus delights – Loukoumia.
