Be prepared for some hill climbing to see everything, but this is a great archeological site and the reconstructed buildings help to get a sense of how things would have been.

There was a few signs explaining the... More

We went with the family, including a 1 year girl. It was a nice day out, and there were some things to see. You would not go here as the only thing to do during the day, but as part of it. There isn't a nice restaurant there, but we went to one further along the Larnaca-Limassol Highway, at Governer's... More

Interesting to visit if you are in the area, just for the fact that it is a reservation from the stone age.

I guess if you are in the area (driving from Larnaca to Limassol, for example), you could take a break and stop by. It's a very small site with a few reconstructed and several excavated ancient houses. For 1.70 euros per person, there is not much to see.
