Choirokoitia

A Neolithic village on a hillside, with reconstructed round stone houses.

Why go. Listed by UNESCO as one of the most important prehistoric sites in the eastern Mediterranean, and an easy stop just off the Nicosia–Limassol motorway.

The catch. The original ruins are low walls; without imagination it can look like stones on a slope. The path climbs and there is little shade.

Local tip. Start with the reconstructed houses near the entrance so the ruins above make sense.

Entry: €2.50
