excavated ruins on a headland, large site with lovely views and a small information centre. Cheap to get in, as is typical in Cyprus and on the bus route from Paphos harbour to Coral Bay. (if you buy a day ticket, you can get on and off the bus as much as you like! )

Talking about inspiration!!! Amazing idea to build such a museum. I did not expect something like that at all and was very pleasantly surprised. Imposing and respectful and simply beautiful.

This is an amazing reconstruction of a round house. The displays inside are very interesting and informative. On Coral Bay bus route 615.

Cheap admission to an attraction that needs better publicity. Interesting assortment of exhibits in a modern structure. Good views from this headland.

The views from this small peninsular are great, there is a small museum here and a few relics, of most interest to those who are studying this period. Be careful if taking younger children & paths are rather uneven. There is a small fee, beware not to get locked in before the closing time of four on a Saturday, it... More
