A breathtaking Greco-Roman city on the cliffs — a still-used amphitheatre, mosaics and a view over the whole coast.
Ancient Kourion is one of the best things to do around Limassol in Cyprus. Below you’ll find where it is, the top-rated tours to book, and a hire car and places to stay nearby.
Perched on a cliff above the sea near Limassol, Kourion is one of Cyprus’s most spectacular archaeological sites. Its Greco-Roman theatre — still used for summer performances — looks out over the Mediterranean, and the House of Eustolios preserves beautiful mosaic floors and the remains of early Christian baths.
Allow a couple of hours for the theatre, houses, agora and basilica, and time your visit for the golden light of late afternoon. Combine it with nearby Kolossi Castle and the Sanctuary of Apollo Hylates for a full day of Limassol-area history.
Hand-picked, highly-rated options.
