The story

Story · Tombs of the Kings

  • en
  • nl

You're standing at the Tombs of the Kings, a large necropolis about two kilometres north of Paphos harbour. Don't let the name fool you. Not a single king was buried here. The tombs got their name simply because they're so grand. The people who actually rested here were the wealthy families and high officials of Paphos.
