CYPRUS // Sprawling Pafos Archaeological Site will fire the imagination of your inner Indiana Jones. It's a tantalising work in progress: what you see is only a modest part of the 4th-century-BC ancient city, with many treasures still to be unearthed here. Highlights include the mesmerising collection of intricate mosaics, whispering stories from ancient Greek myths, including the hero Theseus fighting the Minotaur and the tragic tale of Phaedra's love for her stepson.
