The Paphos Mosaics are located in Kato Pafos, near to the city harbour. One of the oldest wonders of Cyprus, the mosaics were created to beautify the homes of Roman noblemen. Dating between 2^nd and 5^th century, the mosaic floors depict the legends of Greek mythology. Not to be missed by any history fanatic.

While exploring the mosaics of Kato Pafos, pay a visit to Paphos Harbour. The port is guarded by a medieval Byzantine fort, which was most recently rebuilt by the Ottomans in 1500’s. The fort is now open daily to the public and can be entered for a small price.

The Tombs of the Kings in Paphos is said to date as far back as 4^th century BCE. Despite the name for the burial site, no kings were laid to rest in these graves; however many high officials and noblemen did occupy the tombs.

Cheap short holidays abroad aren’t just for partying and bathing. Holidays in Cyprus can provide you with cultured experiences to treasure forever.
