塞浦路斯帕福斯市被欧盟选为2012年“欧洲文化之都”
2012年9月，欧盟决定把2017年“欧洲文化之都”的称号授予塞浦路斯著名文化和旅游城市帕福斯市。
帕福斯市位于塞浦路斯西南部，人口约6万，依山傍海，是塞浦路斯和地中海著名的文化名城。这里是希腊神话传说中维纳斯美神的出生地，始建于公元前1400年，历史上一度是塞浦路斯岛的首都。这里于上世纪70年代起受到重视，政府和旅游机构、房地产开发商看中了这里优越的自然与地理条件，纷纷把开发旅游文化产业作为重点，从一个小渔村逐步发展成一个现代化的新城。
帕福斯市明显分为两个部分，老城居民区与沿海新建的旅游区。旅游区沿中世纪港口而建，大部分豪华酒店和旅游设施皆位于此。市内有著名的镶嵌画和众多的皇家古墓，被联合国教科文组织评为世界文化遗产。
为了保证帕福斯市的经济文化持续得到发展，政府出台了一系列招商引资措施，企业界纷纷配合，把帕福斯市全面推向欧洲和世界。帕福斯市引入环保节能和信息化的概念，全力打造新型城市。

LARNAKA CITY CRUISERS (BIKING TOURS)
Tourists and locals alike can view the sights of Larnaka from a different angle by renting a ‘City Cruiser’ biking tour.

The bikes are an environmentally friendly way to travel as they use a solar-powered battery, meet all European safety standards and are operated by trained riders who know first- aid. They are also suitable for people with disabilities.
There are three tours on offer: The City Centre Tour (which takes in the town centre with all its shops), The Arts and Culture Tour (which takes in the workshops and galleries of Larnaka), and a Historical Tour Around the Town (which takes in the museums, churches and ancient monuments).
These are the first bikes of their kind on the island and are certain to offer something unique to anyone who wants to
see Larnaka and its sights in a memorable way.
Cost: €12 (45 - 50 minutes) per bike (for two persons) with rider.

The walking tour Strolling around Pafos Town Centre (Ktima) aims to provide an overall picture of Pafos and how Pafos Town Centre evolved and developed from the late Byzantine and Medieval times to what as it was called until recently Κtima. The Pafos Town Centre (Ktima) is associated with the local everyday life of the population. For the Pafians though, Pafos Town Centre (Ktima) has so much more to it….
Through historic references, linked with some very important historic phases including Medieval, Ottoman, British and modern times; one will ‘walk’ into the past but will also get better acquainted with the commercial centre of Pafos.
The walk is led by a licensed CTO qualified guide. It lasts about two and a half hours, including a half-hour break for refreshments.

Then they will be driven to Ayii Anargiri, a chapel in the northern part of Cape Greco. After a coffee break, the “walk” continues along the coast to the archaeological site of Makronisos.
