Amazing place, the ruins here are pretty astonishing! No fewer than 5 temples as well as some of the city walls are all waiting to be explored, and the kids had such fun here too dashing about and playing games.

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

You can't go to Mexico and not see any Mayan ruins now can you? This is an impressive site with the remains of a palace as well as a huge pyramid! And all with so many fewer tourists than the Egyptian Pyramids.

I couldn't wait to see this, I was so excited, and I have to say it lived up to my expectations. I can't believe it's so well preserved for something so old! What a fantastic holiday experience.

Dionysiou Areopagitou Street, on the hill in the centre of town, you can't miss it!

Ancient Agora

It never ceases to amaze me that these things have just been standing for centuries, slowly getting more shabby, but still showing off the grandeur they were intended to inspire. Great place, has a wonderful peace to it.
