Our week in Cyprus was very relaxing, we had perfect weather 25 degrees with a cool breeze. The landscape although barren is still quite beautiful.
The water was crystal clear
Kato Paphos Archaeological Park and The Tombs of the Kings are amazing ruins from the 2nd 3rd and 4th Century with the best-preserved mosaics we have ever seen.
There is a very nice light house also in the Park. The water front in Paphos is beautiful and there is a long board walk which you can walk or run along. It is lovely to do this in the evening time when it has cooled down.

In some way Cyprus and especially Paphos has lost some of its identity as it is full of English retirees, although the Cypriots do seem happy enough to accommodate the English, you can buy any English newspaper you desire and get a full English breakfast any time of day. Martin as you can expect was very happy with this. A great place to go for a relaxing week.
