The Archaeological Site of Tenta at Kalavasos is one of the most important Neolithic settlements in Cyprus, offering a fascinating insight into the island’s prehistoric past.

The settlement dates back to around 7000 BC and was inhabited during the Aceramic Neolithic period. Archaeological remains include circular dwellings constructed from stone and mudbrick, providing valuable evidence of the early communities that established permanent settlements on the island.
