Anne Visits Cyprus


Greg and Caleb in one of the Tombs of the Kings. These Hellenistic burial sites were for the rich and famous of ancient Pafos.


The Temple of Apollo was once one of the most sacred sites of ancient Cyprus. The penalty for touching its alter was to be hurled into the sea over the nearby cliffs!
