When to go to Paphos?
The floor mosaics in the archaeological park come first: Dionysus, Theseus and Orpheus laid out in coloured stone where Roman villas once stood. West along the shore, the Tombs of the Kings are cut deep into the rock beside the sea. The harbour keeps a small castle, fish tavernas and the road towards Aphrodite's Rock.
