A World Heritage Site, Kato Paphos Archaeological Park features monuments from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages, including some of the finest mosaics in the Eastern Mediterranean. See remnants of Roman villas and fortresses, some of them with floors made of colorful stone, representing scenes from Greek mythology. Take a walk through the arid lands, over dunes, and among ruins, and look for monuments such as Ancient Odeon--a 2nd-century theater built entirely out of limestone blocks--and Saranta Kolones, which features remnants of a Byzantine castle destroyed in a 1222 earthquake.

Good way to get sunburn. Most of it is out in the sun. ♨️☀️ Mosaics are nice, but there is nothing else to see. Not worth 4.5 euros. No audio guide, no water available, very nasty toilet...just a wasteland

We’ve been to the archeological park next to Paphos harbour. We visited this site in the beginning of september 2021. We’ve paid 2,5euro to enter the park. Once in the park you can visit the old structures which is facinating. Some of the structures are not fully uncovered yet. So if you are lucky like we were you can see some archeologists digging up. Overall it was a nice place to visit. One of the downsides is that not every building is dug up and that there is no information whatshowever on the buildings. The buildings that are dug up are really nice to see.

The key landmark of Paphos, in my opinion. Excellently presented ruins and well-kept surrounding area. Look out for the many small details, such as the small piece of preserved mosaics in the main area. I’d give the park at least 2 hours, it’s well-worth the time.

Very nice place, there is ruin of ancient mosiacs, a lighthouse, small amphitheater, ruins of the roman forum. Pay attention that the site is an open site so be ready with water and hat. Students are enter free

For the price this is absolutely fantastic, I believe we paid €4.50 each. So much to see so be prepared for quite a bit of walking. It could do with being signposted a bit better whilst you’re in there as quite a lot of things are very spread out and can easily be missed but would definitely recommend!
