Paphos, Cyprus. The Paphos Regional Board of Tourism (Etap) announced it is organising free thematic excursions to promote the cultural and natural heritage of the Polis Chrysochous-Akamas area in May and June.
Excursions and aims
Etap said the initiative is part of a broader effort to highlight lesser-known areas and strengthen the region’s appeal as a multi-dimensional tourism destination. The excursions will take place every Saturday during May and June, offering free participation for both locals and visitors.
Sites included
According to Etap, the excursions focus on five key points of interest: the Sea and Culture Museum, the Reptile and Amphibian Park, the Marion-Arsinoe Archaeological Museum, the Akamas Museum of Rural Life and Tradition in Droushia, and the Information Centre for Avifauna and Terrestrial Flora in Kathikas.
Etap said these locations create a multi-thematic narrative linking nature, marine life and historical development. Participants will be able to explore biodiversity and marine ecosystems and discover archaeological findings reflecting the long history of Polis Chrysochous.
Schedule and support
Departures will be from the Kato Paphos Archaeological Park at 09:15, with a return to the same location at 16:30. The excursions are supported by the municipalities of Polis Chrysochous and Akamas.
Regional development
Etap said the initiative aims to enhance domestic tourism while supporting the balanced development of the Paphos district.
