Vouni Palace stands on a hilltop above the sea, about 4 km north-west of the ruins of Soli near Lefke. It was built in the early 5th century BC and destroyed by fire in the early 4th century BC.

The remains include courtyards, rooms and cisterns, and the views over the bay are a large part of the visit. The site is open every day; the road up is steep.
