    This place was a fantastic little find The staff were so welcoming & do a little introduction to the site inside the building. You are then set free to wander around the site for as long as you wish to. Lovely peaceful setting & amazing to see the floors so beautifully preserved after so many centuries have passed

    Our group visited and enjoyed the experience. One of the employees provided an initial overview then we were free to take the self-guided tour around the exterior of the facility. The mosaics are in good condition given their age and it was fun to read the signboards as we worked our way through the tour. Very educational. Recommend.
