The Paphos mosaics are situated near the Paphos harbour at the Paphos Archaeological Park and they are some superbly preserved mosaic remains dating from third to fifth century A.D. Thesemosaic floors can be seen in the House of Dionysos, Orpheus and Aion.
​
The mosaics were an accidental discovery made by a Cypriot farmer in 1962 that was to forever change the nature of his hometown.
Whilst working his plough, the farmer unearthed fragments of a mosaic that represented only the tip of a much larger iceberg. Subsequent excavations revealed a vast area containing some of the most spectacular examples of Roman mosaic work ever discovered; without a doubt the finest in all of the Eastern Mediterranean.
