Sometimes it’s hard to believe that the charming city of Paphos, a little harbour city in the southwest of Cyprus, actually exists. But we’re here to reveal that not only is Paphos a real life place, it’s as beautiful as the photos show it. In fact - it’s better.  For one thing, Paphos is romantic. And that’s not just because it’s the birthplace of Aphrodite (though that is pretty cool). It’s because of the mosaics all over the city, telling ancient stories. The sea coves at coral bay. The sunsets on the beach. Paphos is just waiting to be explored. Here are the best things to do when you visit.  RECOMMENDED:​🏖️ The best beaches in the world📍 The best things to do in the world🇬🇷 The best places to visit in Greece At Time Out, all of our travel guides are written by local writers who know their cities inside out.

It’s no secret that Mykonos gets a bit of a bad rep. Years and years of honeymoons and influencers have blown this city up as the ultimate Greek island break, and if you go at the wrong time of year, you might not be able to move for tourists. But if you do Mykonos right, it’s completely and utterly magical.  In a week in Mykonos, you can party all night to famous DJs, have dinner overlooking a crystal-blue sea, stroll through its old town and take a load of great day trips too. And yes, you can snap the most Instagrammable pic of your life too, we won’t judge.

For good food, great views and tons of fascinating history, there’s nowhere quite like Athens. But knowing where to eat is about as important as booking the right flight.

Our local writers have scoured the city for the best restaurants going, including everything from traditional Greek grub to Michelin-starred seafood and steaming bowls of ramen (it cools you down, didn’t you know?).
