Macronissos Tombs
The Department of Antiquities has completed excavations at the locality of "Macronissos" west of Ayia Napa village. The excavations were sponsored by the Ayia Napa Improvement Board and were undertaken between the end of November 1989 and early January 1990. The tombs in general consist of a stepped road, which leads down to a rectangular entrance. The entrances were originally closed with one large or two smaller calcarenite slabs. Most of the chambers are almost identical. They are all provided with a rectangular trench in the middle slightly lower than the floor of the road and three benches at the sides of the chamber. Some of the tombs have additionally one loculus carved on the longitudinal axis of the tomb opposite the entrance, while another is provided with four beaches at the sides and one opposite the entrance, thus providing room for five interments.
