A slice of History at the Hotel!
During excavation for the building of the Alexander the Great Hotel ancient tombs were discovered.
This important find has been dated
to the Hellenistic and roman period, about 300 BC to 300 AD. Eighteen tombs were found, 6 cut into the rock as sarcophagi while the rest were chambered. Among the tombs were many pots, including amphora from Rhodes, lamps, bronze coins, jewellery and mirrors. You can see these artifacts today at the
Paphos Museum.
