Wonderful, pretty and informative museum here! It tells the tale of how the Mycenaean greeks came to love on the island and how life changed forever.

Paphos District Archaeological Museum

A wonderful musuem with artefacts dating all the way back to the Neolithic age, although I have to say that the statues of the greek gods were my favourite bit.

Archaeological Park Mosaics

posted by qknapp on 5 November 2010 at 13:00

This was my favourite thing in all of Paphos, I was there in the winter so there was barely another soul there (apart from the delightful family members of course) and it was amazing to see the detail, the effort, and how close you could get to these astonishing bits of art.

Nea Paphos

posted by wullman on 26 October 2010 at 15:13

Chances are, if you're planning on visiting Paphos, you've already read about and planned to visit Nea Paphos, but on the off chance that you haven't, make sure you do! The mosaics are some of the best anywhere in the Mediterranean. The site isn't wholly excavated but you can see an amphitheater, the old agora and a good portion of the old city walls. A great insight into this once great city.

Temple of Aphrodite

posted by njackson on 5 August 2010 at 12:25

The temple is sadly in a state of ruin now but is still a great place to visit, especially considering its enormous significance in the ancient world. There's also a museum there with displays from the various archaeological digs that have taken place.
