A historical secret…
At first glance, Amathus Bay might not seem to offer much in the way of activities, what with it being so quiet – ideal, of course for people who want to get away, relax and sunbathe – but there is more to Amathus than meets the eye. On the edge of town lies the resort’s ancient secret – excavated remains of what was once one of the most important towns on Cyprus. Sights include an ancient acropolis, excavated houses, a temple and an ancient market place. Amathus is an absolute must see if you are interested in history.
