Most visitors travel to Paphos to experience the rich history and culture on display, and to enjoy the peaceful and beautiful countryside that the west coast of the island has to offer. But Paphos is not just for history buffs. Many people are unaware of the excellent facilities that are also available to families in the area.

Here are the top 3 family attractions in Paphos:

1) Kid’s Kingdom: Kid’s Kingdom is a large indoor play area for children ages 2-17. There is plenty to do for all ages, and one of the highlights is the dodgem cars! Parents can stay if they wish, there is a bar and restaurant to relax.

2) Aphrodite Water Park – Although Ayia Napa’s Waterworld tends to steal all the fame when it comes to water parks in Cyprus, Aphrodite Water Park is also worth a visit! As well as some fantastic rides like the Black Hole, it’s also the only water park on the island that offers scuba diving lessons. Lessons are available for all levels.

3) Paphos Bird Park: Animal attractions are always great days out for all the family and the Bird Park, located just a short drive from Coral Bay, is no exception! A wide variety of birds are on display, and you can see some of them up close during bird shows that take place several times a day. Despite the name of the park, you can also discover various other animals here, for example in the park’s reptile house.

These are just some of the ways you can enjoy a family holiday in Cyprus, but the island is packed with attractions for people of all ages. For example, if your family is the adventurous type, you might want to try go-karting in Larnaca or paragliding in Kourion or St Hilarion.
