The Archaeological Site of the Tombs of the Kings, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Paphos, Cyprus, is an ancient necropolis featuring impressive underground tombs carved out of solid rock, primarily for Paphitic aristocrats from the Hellenistic and Roman periods. It is generally accessible with paved and gravel paths, though some tomb interiors may have uneven surfaces or steps; visitors with mobility issues should be aware. This extensive site can be explored solo, with informative signage available, but guided tours offer richer historical context. Open year-round, it's best visited during cooler morning or late afternoon hours in summer due to high temperatures, while winter offers pleasant conditions. The entrance fee is typically low, around €2.50 - €4.50, and a visit usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours. Visitors should wear comfortable walking shoes, carry water, and use sun protection as shade is limited.
