Tips

To extend the trip, add an extra day in Paphos to explore the Petra tou Romiou area more leisurely or take a day cruise to the nearby island of Cyprus’ southern coast. If you need to shorten the itinerary, combine Day 5 (Limassol) with Day 6 (Larnaca) by visiting Limassol on the way back from Larnaca, reducing travel time and allowing an earlier return to the hotel for a relaxed final night.
