The Olympic Lagoon Resort Paphos places you just two kilometres from the resort’s yacht-filled harbour and 45 minutes from the airport. You’ve already got a 150-metre stretch of powder white sands just a stone’s throw away and the iconic Tomb of the Kings isn’t far either with its 1,000-year-old history.
