Getting to the tomb from Paphos city is easy, as it is located near the city walls. From Fabrica Hill, follow the well-signposted road Leoforos Tafon ton Vasileon for 2km northwest.
Give yourself at least a couple of hours to have a look around this site. There are eight tombs for you to explore, and you will be able to wonder deep down into the spacious atriums. The tombs were plundered centuries ago by squatters, and there is not much left of the frescoes that once adorned the walls, but you will be able to see the impressive structures of the tombs.
