Tag med mig på en rejse gennem Cypern, en Middelhavsperle fyldt med historie, naturskønne landskaber og en levende kultur. Vi starter i den charmerende by Paphos på øens sydvestlige kyst, der er kendt for sin rige historie og betagende natur. Historisk set er Paphos berømt som fødestedet for Afrodite, den græske gudinde for kærlighed og skønhed. Du vil se henvisninger til hende overalt i byen, især ved Afrodites Rocks, et smukt sted ved havet, hvor hun siges at være steget op. Byen huser også utrolige arkæologiske steder, der har sikret den en plads på UNESCOs verdensarvsliste. Paphos Arkæologiske Park omfatter fantastiske mosaikker i Dionysos, Theseus og Aion-husene, velbevarede ruiner fra oldtiden og endda et antikt teater, der stadig bruges i dag til forestillinger. Udover de historiske steder har Paphos et livligt havneområde med caféer, restauranter og barer, hvor du kan slappe af og nyde havudsigten. Det fungerer også godt som udgangspunkt til at udforske naturvidunderne i området, der er kendt for sine vandrestier og rige dyreliv. Samlet set tilbyder Paphos en god blanding af historie, kultur og natur, hvilket gør det til et must-visit spot for enhver, der rejser til Cypern. Vi udforsker også steder som skibsvraget ved Oniro By The Sea, der er blevet en del af områdets charme efter et forlis og har tiltrukket turister fra hele verden. Plus, jeg møder også en anden globetrotter, Cindy Shearan, og sammen udforsker vi den udfordrende Caledonian Falls Trail. Lyt til episoden for at høre mere om Cypern og Cindys rejse.  Join me as I embark on a journey through Cyprus, a Mediterranean gem boasting rich history, stunning landscapes, and vibrant culture.
