Detail

Among Cyprus’ masterpieces of Eastern Christianity are nine UNESCO listed monastery churches in the Troodos Mountains. These have interior frescoes dating back to the 11th century. The Crusades brought the French Lusignan Dynasty to power. The island is rich in the remains of Crusader castles like that at Kyrenia and the dramatic St Hilarion Castle, perched high above a valley. From the Lusignan period are also some of the Eastern Mediterranean’s finest Gothic cathedrals, modelled on such great French monuments as Reims.

Paphos’ archaeological riches include aristocratic underground tombs (4th century BC–3rd century AD), an agora, Asklepion, basilica, Odion, theatre and four Roman villas with magnificent mosaic floors. These mosaics are considered among the finest in the eastern Mediterranean and were included in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites list in 1980. The floor mosaics at the House of Dionysos are decorated with mythological, vintage and hunting scenes.
