George's Ranch

George's Ranch is located in the picturesque area of Sea Caves, which is situated in the North West of the island in the popular resort of Coral Bay, Paphos. The Ranch has been established since 1994 and, over the years, due to popular demand by tourist and locals, the Ranch has continued to expand. We started mainly as a trekking center in the early years, as we are situated just behind the beautiful coastal area of the Sea Caves, so have great access to scenic rides by the coast. Due mainly to the passion of Caroline,for competition and well schooled horses, the Ranch has now become a large training facility for local and foreign residents.

This ranch is amazing and all the horses seem very well looked after, Jackson was a dream to ride and the hack down to the sea caves was beautiful. I also got to trot and canter in the arena afterwards which was the icing on the cake. We would definitely go back here if we were to return! Thanks Michelle ????

Cyprus Museum

Reviewed By JohnV248 - Bognor Regis, United Kingdom

There is so much in this museum and it is so well presented, including narratives on the exhibits. Fortunately, the museum is not swamped with visitors so you have plenty of time to absorb what you are seeing and to spend time by your favourite items - I particularly liked their own version of the terracotta army (a lot more variety in their characters).

This is my fourth time here and it hasn’t failed to impress me once.. The waiting time for the slides was about 15/20 mins which wasn’t bad considering how busy it was. I recommend pre buying tickets as the air for tickets was huge.. Would highly recommend for people of all ages.. Our favourite was the “Snake slide”..

Kourion has everything one might want in an ancient archaeological site: a theatre, an agora, an early Christian basilica, excellent mosaics, Roman baths, a seaside location, and more! There is nothing better than to be at this site on a cool, sunny day. If you are in Cyprus, don't miss Kourion. It is very close to Limassol and not too far from Paphos.
