Tomb of the Kings Mini Guide
Tourists can explore a net work of underground caves which were carved into the rock thousands of years ago when they visit the Tombs of the Kings in Paphos. This necropolis is a short distance to the north west of Paphos town in Cyprus and is thought to be the burial site of various aristocrats. The name Tombs of the Kings is merely inspired by what a wonderful sight these are to see!
Although the tombs have been known and casually explored for centuries, they were first subjected to systematic excavation in the later 1970s and the 1980s under the direction of the Director of Antiquities of the Republic of Cyprus, Dr Sophocles Hadjisavvas. Visitors to the tombs of the kings have recommended that it should be visited at times in the day when it is not too hot as it can get dusty while doing the tour.
Whatever you do, take a bottle of water with you on this excursion. However, they have also remarked that it is excellent value for money and well worth seeing. There are some spectacular views there and the way that you can walk around the site at your leisure means that it is possible to get intimately acquainted with this remarkable historical relic.
