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

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. There are two mosaics, when mythological creatures are located only in the center of the mosaic floor, while a geometric pattern fills a large area. One of the mosaics seems to be black and white. It depicts Scylla - a terrible sea creature. This is the oldest mosaic in Cyprus and it refers to the 3rd century BC. On the other, already Roman, in the center is Narcissus admiring himself.
