Don't miss the mosaics. I've seen the Byzantine mosaics of Ravenna (which are truly wonderful) and I have to say that the mosaics of Salamis left as deep of an impression on me (although in a different way). It's impossible to gaze upon these works without considering just how long ago they were produced - it might also occur to you, as it did to me, that seeing such things is an eye-opener in terms of our belief that our culture now represents some kind of magnificent peak of civilisation. Be warned that you have to be a little persistent to find these - they're on the map, but tucked away in one corner of the marked place - don't give up until you've seen them though!
