帕福斯自新石器时代就有人类居住,是一个崇拜阿芙罗狄蒂(Aphrodite)和前希腊生育诸神的中心。传说阿芙罗狄蒂就诞生在这个岛上。公元前12世纪迈锡尼人在这里为她建造了庙宇。这里的别墅、宫殿、剧院、要塞和墓地遗迹都表明这个遗址具有非凡的建筑和历史价值。新帕福斯的马赛克图案是世界上最美丽的图案之一。
Paphos has been inhabited since the Neolithic period. It was a centre of the cult of Aphrodite and of pre-Hellenic fertility deities. Aphrodite's legendary birthplace was on this island, where her temple was erected by the Myceneans in the 12th century B.C. The remains of villas, palaces, theatres, fortresses and tombs mean that the site is of exceptional architectural and historic value. The mosaics of Nea Paphos are among the most beautiful in the world.
