2. Tombs of the Kings & Archaeological

Site of Nea Paphos


The Tombs of the Kings in Paphos have been listed in the UNESCO world cultural heritage

since 1980.

Apparently, the Royal Tombs did not really belong to the Kings,

but to the political elite back at the days.


As was often the case in the tombs, valuable items were buried with the bodies, which in this case were plundered before the arrival of archaeologists in Cyprus.

Interesting Fact

Paphos Castle is located on the promenade in the harbor
