Choirokoitia
Χοιροκοιτία
A Neolithic village site around 9,000 years old, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with reconstructed round houses at the entrance.
Choirokoitia is one of the best-preserved prehistoric settlements in the eastern Mediterranean and was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1998. Foundations of round stone houses cover the hillside. At the entrance, several round houses made of mud and stone have been rebuilt, and you can step inside to learn about daily life in those times. Entry costs about 2.5 euros. The walk up and down the steep path takes about an hour, so wear non-slip shoes and bring water. It is about 40 km from Larnaca and can be combined with a visit to the village of Lefkara on the same day.
