👍👍 One of the best views here in Pafos. Would everyone recommend this place who wants a relaxing and nice day. Sit on a bench, read a book and enjoy the view. The entry is 4,50€ for the whole park.

Remains of a 2nd-century Roman house with a preserved mosaic showing Theseus fighting the Minotaur.

👍 History comes alive at this free site with a pillar which is said to be that to which St Paul and Barnabas were tied when they came to Cyprus to preach Christianity in 45 AD.There is also a beautiful ancient church and the remains of previous ones, nicely explained in diagrams on signs.

Fragmented remains of a Byzantine-era castle, noted for its many granite columns & stone archways.

👍👍 I liked the mosaics in the house of Aion, dedicated to the themes of the birth and life of Dionysus. They were much more beautiful, artistic plan.

First a Byzantine fort, this castle was rebuilt throughout the years & used as a prison & warehouse.

👍 It’s fenced in so we could not have chance to walk in for a look. There’s a platform you can get to from the side of the theater and reach the top for the view. View was ok.

Mosaics in a 4th-century house in the ruins of Kourion featuring depictions of Achilles.

The baths themselves were certainly ancient, and the history of the place was definitely fascinating. It was interesting to see the remnants of...

👍 A must-see while in Pafos town. It's right there, you can not miss it. It's free and well maintained. Nice walking bridge around the site. Lots of caves, some deep but not restrictive. All have safety barriers. It's a bit wild, overgrown bushes, some litter but not a lot. No WC, not much in signa...

😐 I would give this 5 stars but some of the mosaics where covered over with sand and tarp. Such a shame and some of them didn't have pictures on the information boards so had no idea what it should look like.

👍 Agora of the ancient city located just in front of the Roman Odeon. Unfortunately not too much preserved here. You need to close your eyes and fantasize on how those crowds of ancient citizens are gathering here to trade, gossip and consume the art. ;)
