Paphos held the European Capital of Culture title in 2017, shared with Aarhus, Denmark — the designation driving this commemorative issue. The city's claim to the honor rests on a cultural continuity stretching from its Mycenaean-era settlement through Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine occupation, all of which left stratified archaeological remains still being excavated today.
