Housing a large collection of various archeological findings from the entirety of the Larnaca district, including the ancient city-kingdom of Kition, is the Larnaca District Archeological Museum. Alongside the city-kingdom of Kition such notable excavated sites as Choirokitia and Tenta-Kalavasos have contributed to the current exhibitions of the museum.

Such exhibits include artifacts from the Neolithic period, the Copper Era, Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic and Roman periods. Alabaster, ivory and faience pieces, well-preserved go to showcase the island’s commercial and international ties with various states of the antiquity.

Before I go into detail within The Paphos District, I believe a few places outside of the district is worth mentioning. Like Akamas Peninsula, that is home to a diverse flora and fauna and is known as an islands favourite hiking spot, and location takes you in close proximity to the archeological sites in the North of the Island.

Giving a visit to The Troodos Mountains is also recommended, as the atmosphere of the mountains and tree covered hills, differs greatly from the green-less areas of coastal cities, in Troodos palms are replaced by pine trees, the views are breathtaking and the mountain air is too refreshing to miss out on it, if you’re visiting Cyprus.

Perhaps one of the favourite tourist archeological attractions proves to be The House of Dionysus. Marvelously preserved mosaic pavements and the mosaic laid houses that now are a part of a larger Paphos Archaeological Site, were accidently found by a farmer ploughing his field one morning around the area. The mosaics brilliantly depict scenes from Greek Mythology.

One of the most notable of the mosaics is the depiction of Ganymede being taken to Olympus by a giant eagle. Along with the mosaic of God Dionysus in a chariot pulled by leopards. In the Mosaic House of Dionysus, you can find mosaic depiction of him as a baby surrounded by various nymphs as well as Apollo punishing a mortal for engaging and losing in a musical duel with the god.
