Paphos today it is a small harbour town and a popular holiday resort, but in Hellenistic and Roman times it was the capital of Cyprus. Home of the colourful Dionysos mosaics renowned throughout the Mediterranean, picturesque churches, medieval monasteries, museums, countless antiquities, and a pretty harbour guarded by a small castle. The whole town of Paphos is included in the official UNESCO list of culture and natural treasure of the world heritage.

The drive takes us to the north – west to visit the underground Tombs of the Kings, the necropolis (cemetery) of Paphos, dated back to the 3rd century BC, with open peristyle courts surrounded by burial chambers. The tour leads to a visit at the House of Dionysos, to see the famous site of breathtaking mosaics unearthed during the excavation of a Roman nobleman’s villa from the third century AD. An extensive complex of buildings fitted with beautiful mosaic floors showing Roman legends and characters, but mostly representing scenes from Greek mythology, are the finest mosaics in all the Mediterranean.

Now there is time for shopping at the Limanaki area (old Harbour) where visitors will be given the opportunity to buy local as well as international merchandise.

The tour starts from Aliathon Resort.
