The ancient city of Paphos goes back to the tales of Troy and it is believed that the founder of the city was the leader of the Arkadians Agapenor. Even before Agapenor, they worshiped the cult of the goddess of fertility, which became the prototype of Aphrodite. According to Greek tradition, Aphrodite was born from the foam of the sea right here in Paphos. Paphos is also famous for the fact that the Roman patrician Cicero ruled Crete here and from here. The Apostle Paul preached on Paphos. In the Middle Ages, the city was captured by Richard the Lionheart during his campaign to Jerusalem. Later they were ruled by the Lusignan dynasty - the founders of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
