We arrived Wednesday afternoon in Paphos, Cyprus...this is our hotel, Pyramos.
Paphos' lovely waterfront promenade.
The promenade leading to Paphos Castle.
Enjoying a sunny walk on the promenade
Paphos Castle, dramatically sited on the end of the promenade
Me at the Castle!
I love this cool sculpture....
...so I decided to join it.
Just another day at the beach
We visited Paphos' famous Archaeological Museum, right by the promenade.
The Museum is mostly open-air, showcasing a ruined city.
The Museum contains nearly intact ancient mosaics, discovered by British trench-diggers during WWII.
Admiring the intact antiquities, with a great Med view
They actually let you walk all over them, it's crazy.
The mosaics are stunning! They are colorful and intact- and from the Roman times.
One of the crown jewels of the mosaic collection.
The Joneses pose with mosaics
One part of the museum was a former ancient home. This home is recreated with a roof and walls, and walkways to view the mosaics.
The mosaics are simply enormous, given their age.
These have not been restored!! This is a Paphos soldier killing a tiger.
