Agios Georgios Church — Attraction in Polis Chrysochous

Lots to seeThe Agios Georgios Church near St. George and the harbour in Paphos is a beautiful site with historical and cultural significance. It’s known for its archaeological remains, including early Christian basilicas and a bath from the 6th century A.D.
