Yep, more ruins in Paphos. If you’re not interested in spending time at the beach, the ruins are really the only thing to do/see in Paphos.
Burger King is the worst. That’s barely even an opinion — that’s just a fact. It’s consistently shoddy in a way that’s quite shocking. So despite my interest in kooky local creations at fast food chains across the world, I’ve never had any particular interest in checking out BK.
Well, I just tried the Halloumi Whopper at Burger King in Cyprus, and yeah — I was right to avoid Burger King. It’s just as shoddy in Europe as it is back home.
Though Tombs of the Kings isn’t quite as amazing as the Archaeological Park, that’s really not even a fair comparison. It’s still absolutely worth a visit.
The Seven St. Georges is a restaurant that comes up on multiple lists of the best restaurants in Paphos. Checking it out was a definite no-brainer.
Paphos Archaeological Park is easily one of the more memorable things I’ve seen recently. The park is absolutely massive, and is crammed with fascinating Roman ruins.
There isn’t a ton to do once you reach Paphos Castle — you can’t even go inside — but the castle itself is striking enough that it’s absolutely worth a visit.
Well, that’s a wrap on Amsterdam (and on Europe!). As usual, here’s a few random photos to close things out.
Thanks to its colonialist history, Surinamese cuisine is quite common in Amsterdam (the history of colonialism is pretty horrifying, but at the very least some good food came out of it. So… glass half full?).
Remember the Guinness Storehouse that I wrote about in Ireland? Well, they have something in Amsterdam called the Heineken Experience that’s pretty much the exact same thing, but with Heineken instead of Guinness.
Remember my post about kroket, Amsterdam’s version of the croquette? McDonald’s has their own version, and — of course — it’s called the McKroket.
