Let's explore the Tombs of Kings, Paphos, Cyprus
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 сер 2024
- We discover the ancient UNESCO site of the Kato Paphos necropolis, also known as Tafoi ton Vasileon (“Tombs of the Kings”), on the southern side of Cyprus.
#Ad - All of this was made possible by Winter Sun break in Paphos, Cyprus, as guests of Jet2Holidays, staying at the luxury 5-Star Olympic Lagoon Resort - Paphos. A truly great experience.
The 'Tombs of Kings' has been a burial ground for the rich and powerful of old Phapos since around 300 BC. The last know burials were around 300AD, and now we have a mysterious world to discover for the measly sum of €2.50 (2022 prices).
We start with the first tomb and descend into a small room; this is our introduction to the site. As we wander the site, you discover this is an access-all-areas venue with few restrictions on what you can discover. The scale of the necropolis is truly amazing, reaching almost to the shoreline.
As we explore further, the Tombs become more complex, and you are free to explore, drop down into the individual chambers, walk between them or climb on the rocks they are carved out of.
So if you are looking for a winter break that allows you to explore local history & culture, then why not consider a Jet2Holidays break in Paphos, Cyprus?

Hello Gary, Janis. Well, you have really come up with something different with this video - wonderful and fascinating :) I would think it would take a specialist archeologist to separate the history suggestive in these tombs, and this necropolis. So many ancient trading cultures have used Cyprus as a way point, with settlements - the Phoenicians, the Minoans, the Mycenaean`s, Greeks, Romans etc, etc.I was always acutely aware, when walking these ancient lands, of all those people through thousands of years, who felt the sun on their backs, smelt the salty air off the water and wondered what the day would bring - but slightly worried about those sails on the horizon - friends or foes ? :)
Thanks ever so much - always to your usual high standards !!!!
Thanks sir; there's another historical site in Paphos I have to cover, but for now, just back from our exploits around Flanders. A lot of history, from the House of Habsburg to the Napoleonic Wars, the World Wars to the current day. All very interesting.
Feel you here. The history in Cyprus really inspired us.
Fantastic journey nice music and comments
Yiannis,
I am so glad you enjoyed it,
Thanks for taking the time to leave your comment,
Gary & Janis
@@OurWorldForYou as you understand from my name iam Cypriot and Paphitis!!! I'm not living in Paphos anymore but visiting the ancient monuments, always feels like my roots are pulling me down to my ancestors. Very good job from you congratulations
Oh Yiannis, how wonderful, growing up around so much rich history - I hope you enjoy where you are now, but I guess there's always a little bit of us that gets homesick.
@@OurWorldForYou true, I'm living in Nicosia sience... 1967!!!
So informative, like your videos something intelligent 👌 👏
🙏 Thanks so much, that's very kind 😍 (might be faking it a bit though 🤣)
@@OurWorldForYou sounds good should have your own TV show 🥳
the best video about paphos and cyprus is the entelechy documentary
Hi Alex,
That's interesting - just checked out the trailer for it. We think we know so much, but the world is full of mysteries.
Thanks for stopping by,
All the best,
Gary & Janis
Fantastic vlog we are due back to Cyprus mid September and will defo be going back here as I also found it very interesting
Phil, how fabulous, and how lucky - love Cyprus, a great adventure
All the best,
Gary & Janis
Very nice video! I tried to get there on the 615 bus today, but must have passed it. The grumpy driver wasn't very helpful and I ended up in Coral Bay instead! That was good in itself, but I really would like to visit this site. I'm trying again tomorrow. Would you happen to know where I need to get off the bus? I remember catching a glimpse of that sea wreck from the bus window 🤔 I did find the Agios Solomnis catacombs which I liked. I came across it by accident!
Hi,
I think you want stop 349, which should be Tomb of Kings Ave. If you walk back a short direction towards the harbour you'll come towards a roundabout, turn right towards the entrance and enjoy!
Hope you've also seen Nea Paphos - ua-cam.com/video/IAekatJyW3o/v-deo.html - If you get the chance, you should. Looks like you have a nice day for it.
Thanks for stopping by, all the best,
Gary & Janis
@@OurWorldForYou Thanks Gary and Janis. I went to the archaeological park this morning and liked it very much, especially seeing the mosaics. I will visit the Tombs of the Kings tomorrow as I still have two days left :)
Hey, it looks like you made it - stunning right?
It seems you're making the most of your time in Phapos
Keep exploring,
Gary & Janis
Well written and filmed. Our first Cyprus vlog just came out today. We will have four vlogs on the history, culture and food of Greek Cyprus over the next few weeks that I hope you might like. Cheers! - Turtle
🙏 Thanks Turtle, I'll check them out 😍 I've another of my one coming out next Saturday, and just one more on the series from our visit. Beautiful country, wonderful people and so much history - you gotta love Cyprus.
@@OurWorldForYou Great food too. Really look forward to us supporting each other and our Cyprus content.
These are not necessarily tombs. They might just as easily be houses.
I think from the descriptions of the site, and the purpose of it, they we specifically created as homes for the dead, where other family members could come and pay their respects. Like homes, the greater and more impressive the building reflected your wealth and importance.
@@OurWorldForYou Not one body was ever found, not even a bag of bones.
