Well worth the low entrance fee. Allow at least 3 to 4 hours to stroll around the site to get a good feel of the archaeological surroundings. Take a bottle of water with you. House of Dionysos is simply stunning.

So much history, nature and views, all for 3.70 euros. The mosaics are facinating, as well as the ruins. There is plenty of flora and fauna to see as well. So great to see such a large area protected from the building of yet more hotels. 2 years since we last visited, and more archeology has been uncovered, as well... More

My daughter loved it but she loves dinosaurs... Great for little ones and teens my father loved it too... Great history, explained itself very well, well worth the visit, not very big so a couple of hours would do it.

A set of ruins with some very well restored mosaics. Great to have a walk around and explore them from within - very little restriction. A bit more information round the site could be beneficial - maybe a tour would be more fulfilling but a wonderful site in it's own right anyway. Easy to get too walking from Paphos, plenty... More

We were shocked by the vast amount of ruins here to see For 3.70 Euros we werent expecting much but were surprised! There was so much to see here - mosaics, ruins ampitheatre and more! Some of the mosaics were undercover, however there were quite a few outdoors which were exposed - Hopefully they will get covered to preserve them... More

When we last here over 10 years ago the site was unfenced and tatty (apart from the main mosaics). Now everything is enclosed and a bit tidier. The modest entrance fee means there are now less people around. This allowed us to visit the site at a leisurely pace and soak up the marvellous atmosphere and history of the place.

Well worth a visit, it next to bus station and harbour so easy to find, It's spread out over a large area so lots of walking, there are toilets around and drinks available. €3.70 so good value, these amazing mosaics that have been restored are beautiful and some are under cover so plenty of shade.

Fascinating place, excellent value of money. It is possible to miss the amphitheater, as its not well signposted.

Large site of ancient mosaics which have been uncovered and preserved dating back to Roman times. You can wander around and imagine how it was 2000 plus years ago. Excellent value and lots of information
