2 Bedroom Apartment in Tomb of the Kings, Paphos

The renowned archaeological site, part of the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1980, is situated within the Archaeological Park of Kato Pafos and is internationally celebrated as a key historical landmark of Cyprus. This area features grand underground tombs that are intricately carved from solid rock, dating back to the Hellenistic and Roman periods.

Although called the ‘Tombs of the Kings,’ these structures primarily served as burial sites for high-ranking officials and aristocrats rather than monarchs. The impressive scale and elaborate design of the tombs—some adorned with Doric columns—earned the area its majestic moniker.

Many tombs mimic the architecture of contemporary residential houses, incorporating burial chambers that open onto peristyle atriums, highlighting the artistic and cultural influences of the period. These structures bear similarities to tombs found in Alexandria, illustrating the close cultural and political ties between the two cities during the Hellenistic era.

Since the early 2000s, the Tombs of the Kings area has also become a popular location for investment and residential development across all budgets. Its proximity to the vibrant hub of Kato Paphos, combined with its scenic Mediterranean surroundings, continues to attract those seeking an idyllic lifestyle, making it a highly desirable place to live for both permanent residents and holiday seekers.
