Palaipafos Archaeological Park
And There's More
There were lots more exhibits. You can see a few of them here.
I guess a lot of the exhibits were found in graves and tombs. That would certainly preserve them.
Bang! Bang!
There is a lot of history here. The Venetians also left their mark. The cannons were accompanied by a picture with the following inscription:
Copy of a wood engraving of Domenica dalle Greche of the 16th century representing a sea-battle between a venetian galley and Turkish pirates in Cypriot waters. The galley is armed with similar cannons to those exhibited here and found in the coastal waters of Kouklia and Lara in the Pafos district.
Final Scenes
After exploring the museum I headed back out to the outdoor features. If you read all the signs you will have a better understanding as to what you are looking at. It's funny to think what went on here in the distant past.

So that was Palaipafos Archaeological Park. If you should choose to visit here, be sure to check out the rest of Kouklia too, as it is a lovely village with a number of decent taverns. There is also another ancient Sugar Mill nearby which is worth exploring, and this one is free!

Before Paphos was at its current location it was sited where you will now find Kouklia. Indeed, there are probably remains bigger than the main Paphos Archaeological Park under the fields in the surrounding countryside, waiting to be discovered. If you would like to see what they have already found, you should take a trip to Palaipafos.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
