Ancestors of the past
I came by car via the brigde in Kalavasos. The place is fun to see. It wakes up my imagination to think how they lived back then. It’s a nice place to visit if you are in the area. The Kalavasos dam is ok to visit also in the same time, and Zygi, for a fish meal.

The First Settlements of Humanity!
Choirokoitia, Kalavasos-Tenta provides evidence of initial establishment at the end of the 7th millennium B.C. of sedentary communities on the island, who originated from the neighboring mainland. They developed an original civilization: the Cypriot Aceramic Neolithic. The settlement is surrounded by walls and consists of buildings with simple circular or double circular ground plans built with sun-dried mud brick or stone or a combination of both. To see the hand paints found here, don’t miss visiting the Nicosia Museum! It is considered a ‘must visit’ if you come to the island.
