Archeology archeological history ancient roman greek helenistic bizantine lighthouse water storm drain

Welcome to Paphos Cyprus! The archaeological site of Nea Pafos (onysusAphrodite’s Sacred City) near Paphos Harbour in Cyprus houses the remains of what was once the capital of the island.
Since 1980, Nea Pafos has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
There are Villas, houses, an Oden (like an amphetheatre but had a roof) with evidence of settlements from Neolithic times to a World War 2 Bunker I found.
There are some of the best preserved historic mosaics in the world (theres a seperate video just with these, but I added more video of them at the end of this video at the 25 min mark.
Its 4.50 euros to get in (pensioners free) and is a HUGE site, I was there about 4 hours. bring some water as there is little shade.
with ancient Greek , Roman, Helenistic and Byzantine sites
