Allow 3 to 4 hours to truly appreciate this site. Take a bottle of water with you and wear shoes rather than flip-flops. Enter some of the caverns/tombs and feel time has gone back thousands of years.

Amazing adventure, well worth the visit, we were staying in a villa in Paphos and wanted to venture out, there's a hours bus journey to this place, really amazing to see the sights and on the edge of it you can see the stunning calm Mediterranean sea. The tombs were stunning with lots of climbing adventures for kids of all... More

Tombs of the Kings is located in a large archaeological park on the sea side. Me and my husband are not big fans of history but still it was really interesting to be there and go down to the tombs.

A great expanse fo tombs, all very well presented and accessible. Felt like an explorer going down into the - like something out of a film. A bit more information on site would be nice other than just the guard on the gate, though we did see guided tours going on at the same time which looked good. If you... More

Spent a couple of hours here exploring the vast site - Its worth a visit as only 1.70 euros each, though a guide book may have been useful as we werent sure what was what. . Take water with you as there are no food and drink facilities.

This is another state run site in Cyprus which again means really cheap entry. As we had read our guide book we known that no kings had ever been buried there, but as I have a passion for archaeology and especially ancient funeral practices this didn't matter to me. The site does contain limited information about the site other than... More

We did not expect this area to be so big. There were about 8 Tombs to explore but we headed off to the left and were climbing over all sorts of rock formations thinking that was it. Then we came across more tombs and they are numbered so you know which ones are significant. There is no cafe on site... More

Our hotel was just next door so we thought that we would go and have a look. It was very cheap to get in and the moment you walk in you find out why. The first and only sign in the place states that these were not really the tombs of kings, rather rich folk from the town, but i... More

Well worth a visit, only €1.70 the tombs are spread over a large area and some climbing is needed to get inside some so flip flops not recommended, there is little shade and no drinks available so take lots of water
