In Greek mythology, Paphos is well known as the place that Aphrodite visited after she rose from the ocean. In real life and present day, Paphos is a city in southwest Cyprus and it certainly does have an air of magic and mystery running through its traditional cobbled streets. There is also a harbour here, which is packed with bars and restaurants, as well as some excellent shopping opportunities. For those who enjoy history and culture, there is as a great collection of ancient ruins to explore in the surrounding areas.
Highlights
The Leonardo Laura Beach hotel itself has an impressive selection of facilities including a family-friendly water park which is ranked as one of the best in Cyprus. It is packed with cool slides, chutes and even features a space bowl. Younger paddlers can enjoy a dip safely at the adjoining mini splash park. There are also two swimming pools on site, one features a super cool swim-up bar serving drinks and light snacks, and the other incorporates a relaxing whirlpool spa. There is plenty to get involved with on dry land too, including watching movies at the on-site cinema, gaming at the colourful arcade and challenging yourselves at the futuristic escape room.
All rooms at the Leonardo Laura Beach and Splash Resort feature chic décor, air conditioning, and offer either a pool or a sea view. Those travelling with younger children can opt for a family room which will offer them more space.
