How the planner works
Every place on GetPaphos carries structured data: where it is, how long it takes, the best time of day, seasons and whether you need a car. The planner scores places against your interests, then builds each day around one part of the region — Paphos town, the coast to Coral Bay, the hills, the Akamas, Polis or Aphrodite's coast — so travel time stays low. It is deterministic: the same choices always give the same plan.
