Discovery stay in Cyprus, the island of a thousand treasures —
"Discover Cyprus" included activities:
- 1 x luxury cruise to the Blue Lagoon
- 1 x half-day cruise along the Paphos coast
DAY 1: ARRIVAL IN CYPRUS
Arriving at Cali Resort & Spa 5* feels like stepping into the slower rhythm of the Mediterranean. After your airport transfer and check-in, ease into the island mood with a swim in the pool or a gentle wander along the seafront as the salt air rolls in from the coast. The afternoon is yours to settle into sun-drenched terraces, sea views, and the warm Cypriot welcome. As evening falls, enjoy dinner at the hotel and your first taste of the island’s laid-back charm.
Included:
- Arrive at Pafos International Airport (PFO)
- All inclusive
- Night at Cali Resort & Spa 5*
DAY 2: COASTAL VILLAGES
Today invites you to discover the quieter corners of the coastline surrounding your resort. Follow winding seaside roads past hidden coves, fishing harbours and golden beaches where the Mediterranean seems impossibly blue. Pause in a traditional village for a leisurely lunch, where shaded tavernas and strong Cypriot coffee offer an authentic glimpse into local life. Between sea breezes and sleepy lanes, the island begins to reveal its timeless character.
Included:
- All inclusive
- Night at Cali Resort & Spa 5*
DAY 3: NICOSIA & LIMASOL
Choose between the layered history of Nicosia or the cosmopolitan energy of Limassol for today’s exploration. In Nicosia, Venetian walls encircle atmospheric old quarters and bustling bazaars, while Limassol blends palm-lined promenades with lively cafés and elegant marinas. Later, venture inland through stone-built villages tucked among rolling hills, where fresco-covered Orthodox churches whisper stories of Byzantium and centuries past. The contrast between coast and countryside offers a deeper look into the island’s soul.
Included:
- All inclusive
- Night at Cali Resort & Spa 5*
DAY 4: PAPHOS
Set out for Paphos, where mythology and archaeology meet beside the sea. Explore remarkably preserved Roman mosaics, stroll past the medieval harbour castle, and stand before Aphrodite's Rock, the legendary birthplace of the goddess of love. The old harbour is perfect for a slow afternoon wander, with fishing boats bobbing beside waterfront cafés and weathered stone promenades. It is a day steeped in ancient stories and Mediterranean light.
Included:
- All inclusive
- Night at Cali Resort & Spa 5*
DAY 5: AKAMAS PENINSULA
The rugged beauty of the Akamas Peninsula offers a striking contrast to the resort coastlines. Dramatic cliffs, juniper-covered hills and hidden turquoise bays create one of Cyprus’ most untouched landscapes. You may choose to hike through the spectacular Avakas Gorge or follow the scenic trail to the legendary Baths of Aphrodite — both are optional experiences and involve additional walking. Whether exploring or simply taking in the views, today showcases the island at its most untamed.
Included:
- All inclusive
- Night at Cali Resort & Spa 5*
DAY 6: LEISURE DAY
After days of exploration, today is entirely yours to enjoy at your own pace. Stretch out beside the pool, wander down to the beach, or simply savour the slow rhythm of island life beneath the Mediterranean sun. Spa treatments and wellness experiences at the hotel are available as optional extras for those seeking deeper relaxation. As the evening settles in, the coast glows softly in the last light of day.
Included:
- All inclusive
- Night at Cali Resort & Spa 5*
DAY 7: DEPART CYPRUS
Enjoy a final unhurried morning at Cali Resort & Spa before your transfer to the airport. Depending on your departure time, there may be time for one last swim, a relaxed breakfast overlooking the sea, or an optional spa treatment before leaving the island behind. Cyprus departs slowly: in the scent of wild herbs, the shimmer of sunlit water, and the echoes of ancient kingdoms scattered across its hills. You leave with memories of a destination where mythology, coastline and village life exist side by side.
Half-day cruise along the Paphos coast —
Embark on an unforgettable cruise along the magnificent Paphos coast and let yourself be captivated by the spectacular scenery. Sail to Coral Bay, explore the impressive Sea Caves and admire the enchanting island of Saint George.
Enjoy a refreshing swim stop in crystal clear waters, ideal for a relaxing break, swim or sunbathe on deck. Treat yourself to a tasty buffet, accompanied by delicious fresh seasonal fruit.
To complete your experience, our open bar offers a selection of local drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, to enhance every moment of your voyage. Join this coastal odyssey, where every diversion reveals a new facet of Paphos' beauty, and create memories as bright as the azure waters you'll cross.

Paphos —
Known for its outstanding cultural and historic sites, Paphos is the perfect destination to experience Cyprus’ vibrant resort atmosphere and unique history. Housing some of the liveliest bars on the island, but also the most fascinating archaeological sites - from Byzantine churches to underground caverns - Paphos is the perfect place for a sun-soaked, exciting stay.
Must sees:
- Paphos Archaeological Park: A UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to incredible ancient ruins, including the famous mosaics in the House of Dionysos, the House of Theseus, and the House of Aion.
- Tomb of the Kings: An ancient burial site, dating back to the 4th century BC, used only for nobles and high-ranking officials.
- Aphrodite's Rock (Petra tou Romiou): A beautiful rock formation that is associated with the myth of Aphrodite's birth. It offers a beautiful view and perfect place to take a dip in the sea.
Culinary culture:
Paphos has a rich culinary culture that reflects the diverse history and geography of Cyprus, blending Greek, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean influences. A must try experience in Cyprus is Meze, a variety of authentic small plates for sharing. This includes plates like Halloumi, Tzatziki, Hummus, and more. Another important dish to the region is Koupepia, vine leaves stuffed with a delicious mixture of rice, herbs, and minced meat.
Dive deeper:
Dive a little deeper into the fascinating history of Paphos and visit the famous St. Paul's Pillar, a historical site is where it's believed that St. Paul was flogged before being converted to Christianity. To explore the culture a bit more, head to The Paphos Municipal Market, a community market that offers everything from fresh produce to handmade crafts.
Good to know:
Cyprus uses the Euro as its official currency. You’ll find plenty of ATMs around, and most places accept cards. Greek is the official language, and Turkish is also widely spoken in Cyprus. English is also commonly spoken in touristic areas. An important thing to know for those who wish to drive in Paphos, like the UK, Cyprus drives on the left side of the road, and cars typically have right-hand drive. Summer sizzles with long, sun-drenched days, while spring and autumn offer quieter beaches and milder weather, perfect for hiking.
