I can't fathom how long ago 7000BC was, it seems crazy to me that people lived on this site then. With a bit of imagination (and the right guide) it can really all come to life though.

About half an hour drive from Larnaca but totally worth it

Wow, it's really cool to see this really old settlement, and they've renovated a small bit so you can really see what it would have been like. I'd like to come back when they've finished excavating the site to see the whole village, it's crazy to think that people lived here in 6000BC!

I don't think i've ever been to anything so old! Amazing! The tombs here date back to 80BC and were made by the Phoenicans. The church is said to have healing properties although I didn't try the walk-three-times-round-and-leave-an-item-of-clothing myth out so I guess I can't complain i'm not 100% fit and healthy!
