Archaeology enthusiasts will want to make their way to the Makronissos Tombs, to explore the relatively recent unearthed site in Ammochostos just west of Ayia Napa. Excavations commissioned by the Municipality of Ayia Napa led to the discovery of a necropolis of 19 ancient tombs along with remnants of an altar and quarry. Experts believe the tombs date back to the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The stone-carved tombs are similar in style and provide a glimpse into the ancient burial practices introduced by the Greeks. Entrance to the archaeological site, which overlooks the Mediterranean is free.
