в Пафос, Kato Paphos - Tombs of The Kings
REF. NO. 48477

The world famous ‘Tombs of the Kings’ form part of the Archaeological Park of Kato Pafos (Paphos) - one of the most important archaeological sites of Cyprus that has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list since 1980.

The monumental underground tombs are carved out of solid rock and date back to the Hellenistic and Roman periods.

Rather than kings, it is actually high-ranking officials and aristocracy that were buried here, but the size and splendour of the tombs – some decorated with Doric pillars - gave the locality its grand name.

Some of the tombs imitate the houses of the living, with the burial chambers opening onto a peristyle atrium. They are like tombs found in Alexandria, demonstrating the close relations between the two cities during the Hellenistic period.

The ‘tombs of the kings’ area have also become a hotspot for investment and residential properties of all budgets, since the early 2000s anyone wanting to enjoy a Mediterranean lifestyle and be close to the hub of Kato Paphos often choose this place to live.
