Location

Paphos is a coastal city in the southwest of Cyprus and the capital of Paphos District. In antiquity, two locations were called Paphos: Old Paphos and New Paphos. The currently inhabited city, New Paphos, lies on the Mediterranean coast, about 50 km (31.07 mi) west of Limassol (the biggest port on the island). 

Paphos is also the mythical birthplace of Aphrodite and is an open air museum of Byzantine churches and Roman ruins interspersed with al fresco restaurants and café bars.

The Annabelle is the closest hotel to Paphos’s picturesque fishing harbour, ancient port and the UNESCO-listed House of Dionysos, containing Cyprus’s world-renowned Roman mosaics.

Paphos International Airport is the country's second-largest airport and is 16 km away from The Annabelle. The drive time is approximately 20 minutes.
