Paphos Regional Tourism Board Adds New Thematic Tours

Expanding Regional Tourism Horizons

The Paphos Regional Tourism Board (Etap) has unveiled an ambitious expansion of its thematic experience tours in the Polis Chrysochous and Akamas area. This initiative is designed to highlight the region’s rich cultural and natural legacy while bolstering tourism activity during the peak months of May and June.

Integrated Cultural and Natural Experiences

The programme curates a multi-thematic narrative by featuring five key attractions: the Sea and Culture Museum, the Reptile and Amphibian Park, the Marion-Arsinoe Archaeological Museum, the Akamas Rural Life and Tradition Museum in Droushia, and the Avifauna and Terrestrial Flora Information Centre in Kathikas. Collectively, these sites present a comprehensive story that intertwines biodiversity, marine ecosystems, and historical evolution, offering visitors an immersive cultural experience.

Coordinated Efforts and Positive Reception

Launched with an inaugural excursion on May 2, 2026, the initiative attracted 25 participants and garnered exceptional feedback for both its organization and the quality of thematic content. Attendees praised the authenticity of each experience and the thorough exploration of the region’s historical and natural assets. They also noted the programme’s success in drawing attention to the lesser-known areas of the Paphos district, thus enhancing its profile as a valuable tourism destination.

Strategic Collaboration and Sustainable Growth

The tour initiative is supported by the Deputy Ministry of Tourism and the municipalities of Polis Chrysochous and Akamas, exemplifying an integrated effort between local and national stakeholders. Scheduled for every Saturday throughout May and June, the excursions depart from the Kato Paphos Archaeological Park at 09:15 and return at 16:30, all at no cost to participants. This accessibility reinforces the programme’s commitment to promoting sustainable tourism and balanced regional development.

Looking Ahead

By continuing to implement targeted actions that spotlight underrepresented areas, Etap aims to further position the Paphos district as a modern, sustainable, and multidimensional tourism destination. This strategic initiative not only diversifies the region’s tourism offering but also fosters long-term economic growth and cultural preservation.
