The Tomb of the Kings is a large necropolis situated a little over a mile north west of Paphos Harbour. Spread over a vast area, these impressive underground tombs date back to the 4th century BC. They are carved out of solid rock with some being decorated with Doric pillars. High officials rather than Kings were buried here, but the magnificence of the tombs gave the locality its name.
There is a small entrance fee to enter the site but is well worth a visit to experience some Cypriot history.

The main road that stretches in both directions from the site is known as the Tomb of the Kings road. In the direction of the harbour it is known as this for about 2km and in the direction of Coral Bay it is known as this for about 8km.
The area in general is a brilliant location for permanent residents and holidaymakers alike. There is an abundance of shops, taverns, tour operators and banks. There is a regular bus service that takes you in one direction to Coral Bay and to the harbour in the other.
