A very interesting blog it’s quite amazing what’s on the doorstep, Paphos area is steeped in ancient sites, which I’m sure some have been built on in the past for economical purposes due the war and division
It would be fabulous if this area could be preserved even within the new development as it looks like a very interesting site

If anybody is interested in the age of the Necropolis: here a Google translation from the Yeroskipou Municipality's website
Necropolis at the site of "Katarameni"
"Complex of carved and excavated tombs of the Hellenistic (325-30 BC) or Roman era (30 BC-6 BC) in southwestern Geroskipou. In Christian times, they were probably used again as cemeteries, but also as hermitage-hermitages."
