The Michelin Guide's review
Digs have been carried out on the site since the 19C. Archaeologists here are unearthing vestiges of one of the most opulent cities of Ancient Cyprus. Mission accomplished: the site is quite evocative of the ancient city. First, you see the lower town, the heart of civic life, with its agora and baths. Then, a short (but steep) 10min climb leads you to the top of the acropolis, crowned by the ruins of a large temple at Aphrodite.
