Few places offer so much concentrated and accessible archaeology and Byzantine art.

Archaeological sites record a history stretching back at least 10000 years from the Neolithic Age, through the Chalcolithic and Bronze Ages, the Geometric, Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic periods and on to the more recent Frankish, Venetian and Ottoman influences and, most notably, the Byzantine centuries.

Numerous Byzantine churches are scattered all over the island. Many of these display quality samples of art, whether it is architecture, wall paintings, icons, mosaics or wood-carving.
