פיסה קטנה של היסטוריה
במרחק הליכה של רק כ-2 קילומטרים מנמל פאפוס, תמצאו את קברי המלכים הייחודי לפאפוס. זהו אתר מורשת עולמית שנקבע על ידי אונסק"ו מאז שנת 1980. נופו וסביבתו כשל מדבר ובו זמנית תוכלו לשמוע את צלילי הגלים אשר מתנפצים על הסלעים. קברי המלכים מכילים מערך קברים תת קרקעיים אשר משומרים היטב. קברים אלו שימשו את תושבי ניאה פאפוס בתקופה ההלניסטית והרומית. מראה הקברים מושפע מהמסורת המצרית העתיקה ודומה לנראות של בתים בו חיים אנשים. למרות שמו של המקום, הקברים לא שימשו בני מלוכה אך זכו בשם "קברי מלכים" בשל מראם המפואר.
הקברים אשר נחפרו לתוך הסלע, פזורים על פני שטח רחב. תאי הקבורה נפתחים אל אטריום פריסטיל מתי לפני הקרקע ומוקפים בעמודים פשוטים וקירות ציור. בקברים אחרים הנמצאים במקום, ישנם חללים מובנים שבהם אוחסנו גופות.
קברי המלכים ידועים בעולם ונחקרו במשך מאות שנים. כתוצאה מחפירות שיטתיות תגליות רבות ומגוונות התגלו לאורך הזמן. דווח כי חלק ניכר מהמידע שקשור לקברי המלכים אבד לאורך השנים. יש האומרים שרבים מן הקברים היו מלאים בסחורות יקרי ערך שנגנבו/ אבדו בעקבות שודדי קברים שהגיעו לאזור. כמו כן, בשל קרבת הקברים לחוף הים, הגופות הקבורות ניזוקו ושימורים הפך לקשה. למרות המכשולים הללו, מומחים ותושבים מקומיים מדגישה את החשיבות ההיסטורית של קברי המלכים.

“If you want a modern, clean place with friendly staff then book! I highly recommend Elysia Park, I could not fault it on anything!
An all-round excellent experience, the rooms spacious and impeccably clean. The on-site restaurant excellent. The staff courteous and friendly. Thoroughly recommended. No higher praise than we will return (can’t remember ever saying this)
Everything was amazing from arrival to leaving. Cleanliness was excellent around the whole complex and our apartment was lovely. Staff were exceptional and nothing was too much trouble.
Exceptional – First of all I liked how modern and stylish the building overall looked and then the rooms were just as in the pictures! I loved how the room was decorated and everything looked fresh and new.
After a wonderful week long holiday I decided to stay out in Cyprus and work remotely. Moved to a studio apartment at Elysia Park which turned out to be the perfect work spot. Excellent wifi, the most amazing swinging egg chair (great for making your team feel slightly sea sick when talking to them on zoom), a pool for in between meeting clear your head swims and lovely cafe/restaurant.
Great place to stay. Excellent apartment. Very well maintained and clean. All staff very friendly and helpful in all areas. Great pools. Well stocked mini mart and pharmacy. Very positive experience and would highly recommend
We stayed in the garden residence and it was excellent – spacious and clean. Would definitely come back again! Staff are very helpful and the pool is clean and spacious! Excellent holiday resort – thank you
Elysia Park is a very nice complex of newly built apartments of all sizes, around a big pool and common area. There is a feeling of luxury overall, both in the common areas and facilities and in the apartments themselves. The staff and service is exceptional in all aspects. We enjoyed our stay and will be definitely coming back soon!
Amazing hotel in all ways. Very clean and new, amazing personnel, clean pool, good food. Best hotel you can imagine. I have no any ideas for critics, highly recommend for everyone while you stay in Paphos.
Superb apartments, spotlessly clean & so very comfortable. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment, spacious bedrooms, lounge area & a good size balcony, kitchen area had everything you need for self catering. Pool is very big & comfortable sunbeds too. This is our second visit & we would return.
“I never give a 10 out of 10 because I think there is always room for improvement, but this place is very close to a 10 (in my book). If you are looking for an apartment, this is the place to stay. Pharmacy, small shop, 2 gyms (hotel's and a private one) and a cafe right next to the place, approx. 15min walk to the beach, quite at night, clean”
We really enjoyed our vacation in Elysia Park. The room was super beautiful and clean and the hotel's stuff is very friendly and helpful. We definitely recommend this hotel.
“we will definitely come back again and again . Great service and wonderful facilities and magnificent staff. We got a 2 bedroom apartment that was fully equipped with washing machine and big kitchen”
“Perfect get away for myself and my husband…We loved this place so much we have booked a stay for Christmas and again for summer 2022 for my 40th birthday. Can’t wait to get back.”
The hotel is just brilliant! Very clean, amazing personnel, big clean pool. Just everything you need to chill on Cyprus.
Really enjoyed our stay at Elysia park, we booked on the day we flew and everything went smooth with check in etc. We were celebrating our anniversary and birthdays and had wine and chocolates left in the room which was a lovely touch. Pool is great, rooms are modern and spacious. Great views from the large balcony. On site restaurant serves great food and cocktails.
