First on our list is the picturesque port of Paphos – from exploring ancient ruins to embarking on a boat cruise or simply heading for a spot of lunch. There are plenty of places to eat and drink in Paphos and historical sites to explore. With numerous Instagram-worthy contenders in this bustling port, we’ve chosen the 13th-century ruins of Christian Basilica as the first stop on our Instagram tour.

The world heritage site is one of the largest in the region, and elevated walkways have been built around the site to preserve the area. The beautiful Anglican church is still in operation, whereas the walkways allow you to get up close and personal to experience the grounds of this medieval marvel.
2. Avakas Gorge
For the next stop-off, you’re going to need your walking shoes, but fear not, it’ll be worth it!
The Avakas Gorge is one of the best places to visit in Cyprus for avid hikers in the group. The expansive canyon presents diverse wildlife, dramatic rock formations, beautiful streams, and incredible forest views along the 7km trail.

Top Tip: You can also drive to the gorge, park at the Viklari restaurant to experience fascinating views of the valley, and fast-track the adventurous 2-hour trek.
3. Tsangarides Winery
However, if walking isn’t your cup of tea, why not discover the best Cypriot wine and rolling landings of the vineyards at Tsangarides Winery during your retreat? Ranked in Tripadvisor’s best things to do in Paphos, this elegant entablement sits at the top of the table for good reason.
Providing some of the region’s best bottles (none of this 3 for a tenner malarkey) and friendly tours from the owners, we’d highly recommend the visit for a taste of authenticity as you take a sip of the flourishing Cyprus wine scene.

If that’s not all, Tsangarides Winery is within proximity to Azia Resort & Spa, providing a lovely scenic drive through the region.
4. Cyprus Shipwreck Trail
Next on our list is another one for the history lovers. Not too far from the luxurious Azia Resort & Spa, the Cyprus Shipwreck Trail provides an intriguing story and a stunning stretch of gorgeous coastline. The 5km coastline between the two wreckages of Edro III & Demetrios II provides a popular spot for tourists and locals to relax by the ocean.

5. Petra Tou Romiou
The fifth Instagram-worthy hotspot to make our list is the famous Petra Tou Romiou. Also known as the birthplace of Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess, the stretch of coastline is a popular tourist hub (as you can imagine), with many Instagrammers posing next to the famous Aphrodite’s Rock, mimicking the goddess of love and beauty.

The shoreline of the geological formation and glistening ocean provides a great photo opportunity and a meandering drive to the site that envelops the Paphos coastline.
6. Jason deCaires Taylor’s Underwater Forest
On our voyage of Best Instagram Spots in Cyprus, Jason deCaires Taylor’s newly created eco-art exhibition encapsulates everything we love about forward-thinking modern art. These spectacular sculptures provide food and shelter for a myriad of underwater ecosystems.
Ten meters deep, located offshore at Pernera Beach on the eastern coast, the underwater sculpture park is accessible for snorkelers and scuba divers.
Highlighting the need to protect (and clean) the depleted Mediterranean oceans. DeCaires Taylor’s sculptures explore a variety of oceanic-based themes and topics. Sights like this are popping up in submarine spots across the world. Another deCaires Taylor piece features one of our best things to do in Grenada.

Top Tip: Along with your scuba gear. Bring a GoPro camera to grab some snaps of this otherworldly work of art.
7. Cavo Greco National Park
Our next stop on the list – we’re staying in the east as we take a peek at Cape Greco National Forest Park.
In addition, this magnificent point of interest provides a variety of ways to explore your surroundings, from cycle trails, cliffside seating areas, nature walks and more. You’ll also be in a prime position to capture an inspiring photo for your followers. The cliffside views at Cape Greco at sundown are arguably some of the best in Cyprus.

8. Patio Cocktail Bar, Nicosia
After all that exploring, we think it’s only right for a cocktail (or two), so we’re heading to the Patio Cocktail Bar.
Not only does this popular place find itself included in numerous lists of the best cocktail bars in Cyprus. But it also provides extraordinary events and tantalising tapas throughout the evening.
