The Ancient Greeks and Romans
Fast forward a few thousand years and we find ourselves admiring the legacies of the ancient Greeks who came to Cyprus. The ancient city-kingdoms of Amathus and Kourion, both now sprawling archaeological sites near the Limassol coastline, offer us a glimpse into a world dominated by lust, war and veneration of the Gods.

No trip around the ancient Roman Empire in Cyprus though is complete without a visit to the Paphos Mosaics. Situated in Kato Paphos, close to the modern-day harbour in the town, are three Roman villas sporting some of the finest examples of Roman floor mosaics in the entire Eastern Mediterranean.
The mosaics at the House of Dionysus show Dionysus - the Greek God of Wine - with Ikarios, the King of Athens. The House of Aion, which was the second Roman villa to have been uncovered on the site, depicts the birth of Dionysus. The third and arguably most impressive villa on the site describes Theseus and his mythological battle with the Minotaur in the Labyrinth.
Getting around Ancient Cyprus
The easiest way to tour Ancient Cyprus is to hire a car. Car hire can be booked in advance for pick up at the international airports of Larnaca and Paphos.
Most of the ancient archaeological sites are signposted from the main highways in Cyprus, so are easy to find. An entry fee is normally charged at each site, but is equivalent to no more than 1 or 2 euros / dollars per adult.
