Nea Pafos

Paphos is a historic seaside city on Cyprus' extreme southwestern coast, where crystal blue waves stretch as far as the eye can see. Thousands of years of rich history may be discovered on the island's tip. The amazing UNESCO Nea Pafos Archaeological Site in Paphos is a must-see for anybody visiting the most beautiful historical sites in Cyprus.


Nea Pafos is an archaeological site near Paphos Harbour in Cyprus that houses the ruins of the island's former capital. Nikolas, the final king of Paphos, founded the city in the 4th century BC. The old Roman villas of Nea Pafos are the most well-known attractions. These are mostly from the second century AD. The Paphos archaeological complex was listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1980 for its exceptional mosaics and ancient remains, as well as its historical and religious significance.


The House of Dionysos, the House of Aion, the House of Theseus, and the House of Orpheus all have remarkable mosaic flooring. Meanwhile, the Basilica of Chrysopolitissa is a late Roman and early medieval structure, and the Castle of Forty Columns is a Byzantine stronghold noted for its intact granite columns. In addition, excavations have uncovered an agora, asklipieion, basilica, onion, and Hellenistic-Roman theatre, as well as a necropolis, which is known as the "Tombs of the Kings."


You'll be astounded by the size of the Kato Pafos Archaeological Site and what you can find among its ancient paths. For about €4.50, you may visit temples and mosaics dating from the Neolithic period through the Hellenistic and Roman ages, as well as the Byzantine period. This archaeological site is incredible.
