Paphos, located in the south-west of Cyprus, is a UNESCO World Heritage City and the birthplace of Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty. The 3,000-year-old city is a fusion of ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine civilizations: well-preserved mosaic ruins, an imposing ancient Greek theatre, and a medieval castle tell the story of its former glory. As a seaside resort, Paphos attracts tourists with its clear Mediterranean landscapes and is a pilgrimage destination for history buffs with its rich cultural heritage. Stroll along the stone paths of the old town and feel the interweaving of myth and reality, this is one of the most charming destinations in Cyprus.
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
