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.
Leipzig is located in the eastern German state of Saxony and is the state's largest city and an important economic and cultural center. The city has a long history, dating back to 900 AD, and was once a trading hub and the birthplace of the printing industry.
