Just off Tomb of the Kings Road in Pafos lies an extensive necropolis dating to 300 BC — the final resting place for Pafos’s elite. Officials and aristocrats were buried in rock-carved tombs alongside jewellery and personal artefacts, though most valuables had been looted centuries ago. What remains is a striking atmosphere of stillness and mystery. The site features 100 tombs hewn from solid rock, some with frescoed walls and towering Doric columns. For the best-preserved examples, head to the atrium area.

Kyrenia Castle, situated at the entrance of a picturesque harbour, is a remarkable historical site dating back to the 7th century. Originally built by the Byzantines and modified by various conquerors throughout the centuries, the castle offers you a captivating glimpse into Cyprus's past. As you walk along the ramparts, you can enjoy stunning views of the harbour and explore the castle's cistern, dungeon, chapel and two small museums. One of the castle's most intriguing attractions is the Kyrenia Shipwreck Museum, housing the remains of a 4th century Greek merchant ship discovered in Cypriot waters. Believed to have sunk around 300 BC, the ship's cargo included amphorae, almonds, grain, wine and millstones from the Greek islands of Samos, Rhodes and Kos. The museum offers a unique opportunity for you to explore an ancient shipwreck and its well-preserved artefacts, providing insight into maritime history and trade during the time of Alexander the Great and his successors.
