Palaepaphos always retained the pre-eminence in worship of Aphrodite, and Strabo tells that the road leading to it from Nea Paphos was annually crowded with male and female votaries resorting to the ancient shrine, and coming not only from the latter place itself, but also from the other towns of Cyprus.
Palaepaphos sempre conservou a preeminencia na adoración de Afrodita e Estrabón conta que a estrada que o conducía desde Nova Paphos estaba abarrotada anualmente con homes e mulleres que a percorrían cara o antigo santuario e non só procedían deste último lugar, senón tamén das outras cidades de Chipre.
