In the Paphos Archaeological Park, the floors of Roman villas are covered with mosaics of gods, heroes and hunting scenes, among the finest in the Mediterranean. Nearby, the Tombs of the Kings are underground burial halls cut into the rock, with columns like houses. East along the coast, the sea foams around Petra tou Romiou, where Aphrodite was born from the waves, and at Kouklia lie the ruins of her great sanctuary. Inland, villages make halloumi and lace, and in late summer an opera is performed in front of Paphos Castle under the stars.
