    For me it's 5 star because I love historical sights. Well-reconstructed ancient dwellings. But actually, this village is very small and far away from paphos. If you are not a fan of ancient history, maybe you'd better ignore it, especially if your time in Cyprus is limited.

    It was open 24/7, decent explanation provided and you can have a look inside the recreated huts which have been stripped back in areas so you can see the construction method. Worth a 20 min visit if your passing

    Worst place never visit. Full of thorns and snakes. Destroyed my shoes.

    The re-created buildings give you a good idea of how people lived. Free to visit and worth a look.

    I wouldn't go out of your way to visit the village. It is very small with a few huts and a couple of boards with information about the history of the Village. It probably took me about 20 minutes to view the huts and read the information. There is plenty of space to park a vehicle. There is no cost to enter the site.

    Lempa prehistoric village, a restored village house, not a well looked after site, few ruined mud huts. Not a popular attraction and it's easy to see why, very interesting! Don't make a special trip, pop in if you are passing, will take 6 mins to look round the place !

    With respect to the cypriotic history I'll rate this with two stars, but it should have one only! The Village is closed and surrounded by a fence. You cannot visit anything, you just can see some reconstructed houses from outside the fence! No need to go there as long it is closed!

    It was the first time when I experienced reverse archeology. Small settlement was built and destroyed to see how natural process looked like. Apart from that you can admire the remains from the prehistoric times. Entrance for free.

    An interesting place for lovers of the ancient history of Cyprus. Free open air museum.

    Few primitive buildings, good parking, nothing spectacular, but if you are interested in construction or history, nice to check!

    When in the neighborhood pop in it’s free and have a look how prehistoric lemma would look like.

    The original location where the Lady of Lempa (now in Nicosia museum) was found. People lived here about 5,5 thousand yeas ago and this is just amazing. They worshiped to the pregnant goddess of fertility. This village existed for at least 1 thousand years

    Not really that much to see there except for the excavated village remains and the reconstructed buildings. Maybe a donkey or two nearby. Still an interesting place to visit.

    There are some remains of the houses, one good, two reasonable and two in very bad condition. In one hut it is a plastic trash storage. Kids didn't want to come out. I took a tour. If you are going by stay and see. But to come especially for this is not worthy

    Not really much to see kinda hidden away but I enjoyed seeing how the houses had been built

  • 5/5 Vladimirs I. 5 years ago on Google
    Small prehistoric village with free admission

  • 5/5 John S. 4 years ago on Google
    Very ancient site and worth a quick visit.

  • 4/5 Rebekah M. 3 years ago on Google
    Simple space. You can visit quickly. Really interesting architecture. They studied the foundations and rebuilt the homes in the same style. Interesting paintings inside.
