How did I miss those tombs when I was in Paphos? Maybe because I was working most of the time, visiting English Language Schools! Maybe next time?

Lucky you to have seen this amazing place! I almost made it to Cyprus once but decided on Tunisia instead. Never knew that these tombs existed till now!
