What to See and Do in Paphos
The Archaeology Museum contains fascinating artifacts from various periods. There are ancient Neolithic and Bronze Age Idols, as well as statues and fragments from local excavation sites.
The House of Dionysus is a large house in the archaeology park that contains the precious floor pieces of the residential palace of the Roman governor. The mosaic pieces depict the major figures of Greek mythology and offer fascinating insights into daily life.
The Tombs of the Kings present yet another archaeological treasure. Dating back to the 4th century BC, the tombs are burial caves carved into the rock of the hill and are impressively decorated. Visitors have access to the various underground sections.
St. Paul’s Pillar is all that remains of the once formidable Panagia Chrysopolitissa Church. Built in the 13th century, over the ruins of the largest Byzantine basilica on the island, the Gothic church was destroyed in the 16th century.
A few yards from St. Paul’s Pillar are some fascinating fragments of the Frankish baths. The baths once formed part of a 7th century Byzantine palace.
