The Tombs of the Kings, despite its name, was not a burial site for royalty, but rather for high-ranking officials and aristocrats of Paphos dating back to the Hellenistic and Roman periods. Carved out of solid rock, some tombs imitate the houses of the living, offering a glimpse into the architectural styles of the time. The site is generally accessible, though some areas may be challenging for those with mobility issues due to uneven terrain. Exploring the Tombs of the Kings can be done independently, allowing you to wander at your own pace, or through guided tours that offer deeper historical insights. There are generally no seasonal restrictions, but the summer months can be very hot, so early morning or late afternoon visits are recommended. The entrance fee is relatively low, and a typical visit lasts between 1 to 2 hours, depending on your level of interest and the heat.
