the best laid plans of mice & men
Built to last? Ha, some of these buildings are less than 1600 years old and they are literally falling apart. Ruins? I'll say they are. Seriously, if looking at old stone foundations is your kind of thing, you can certainly get some done in Pafos. They date back from the 3rd & 4th century A.D. First came the Greeks, then the Romans, and then the Christians. Although, it was good old Mother Nature and her side-kick Earthquake that eventually reduced these splendid period pieces to rubble. However, the mosaics of Pafos are worth a look. For those of you who struggle to draw a picture you may like to reflect on the intricate murals made of small stones and brazed clay tiles which are not only lifelike in every detail, but also depict Greek mythology. Then you can marvel that they were created by artisans some 1600 years ago. Admission costs just CYP1.50 per adult. Wear a hat as the area is...
