Pinsteps. Paphos Mosaics
Places to visit in Пафос. Languages: en, he, ru

The house of Dionysus is simply an exhibition of ancient mosaics and, most impressively, this vast territory and areas of ancient mosaics belong to the house of a wealthy Paphos from the 3rd century AD. On the two mosaics of the house, mythological creatures are located in the center of the floor, while a geometric pattern fills a large area. One of the mosaics seems to be black and white. It represents Scylla - a terrible sea creature. This is the oldest mosaic in Cyprus and it refers to the 3rd century BC. In the center of the other one, already Roman, is Narcissus admiring himself.
