So pleased I went to see this fabulous site, it is by far the best I have visited. Allow a good half day to take this huge site in. There are an incredible number of fantastic mosaics depicting ancient mythological and hunting scenes, in addition to the well kept low level remains of ancient buildings - an absolute must see....

This is a must see if you are staying in Cyprus anywhere near Paphos. Huge intact very well persevered Roman mosaics and parts of the Roman buildings complete with streets covering a huge area. A Roman Theatre still in very good condition is located close to Paphos lighthouse. Many mosaics are covered by a modern building with walk ways for... More

a short stroll from the buzs of the sea front yet feels like time travel. Excellent,ruins of old palace and amphitheatre. Thoroughly recommended except over lunchtime as sun too strong (although the main mosaics are covered) More

We visited here early morning in May, it gets very hot and there isnt much shade about so I wouldnt recommend it as something to do midday! The quality of the mosaics were amazing especially the ones which are now preserved under a shelter. It is amazing to see how they have survived. The site is very large and you... More

It was raining when we got there so might not have seen it at its best. Unfortunately the portaloos were disgusting. More

The site is excellent and there is so much to see besides the mosaics. Allow plenty of time - at least two hours - to do it properly. More
