Highlights
  • House of Eustolios - This house once belonged to Eustolios, a wealthy nobleman living in the 4th century. He built it to have panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and lined the floor with beautiful mosaic tiles, many of which are still intact today.

NOTE: This 0.2+ mile-long tour covers the essentials of Kourion Cyprus in 1-2 hours.

  • Κourion Ancient Amphitheater - At 720 feet in diameter, this huge amphitheater is pretty hard to miss! People used to flock here to see performances and take in the views of the sea and surrounding landscape. Its maximum capacity was 3,500 spectators! You won’t just be viewing this landmark from afar but will actually get to enter the amphitheater itself.
  • Nymphaeum of Kourion - The Nymphaeum is an elaborate structure containing public bathhouses, an enormous fountain, shrines dedicated to the nymphs of Roman mythology, and more. Of the many such buildings across the Mediterranean, this was the largest and most impressive of its day.
  • Трикліній(їдальня) в ранньохристиянському будинку - This small, humble building has perplexed archaeologists for years. The truth is, no one knows exactly what it was used for! Odds are, it was likely utilized for many different purposes over the years, mainly as storage or utility space.
  • Early Christian Basilica - This basilica was built in the fifth century, about a hundred years after Christianity was declared the state religion of the Roman Empire. As you explore, you’ll hear about how Christianity became the dominant faith in Kourion and what can be learned from this basilica.

Large archeological site - A very large site with lots to see. Some of it was closed today as the roof protecting it was being repaired. However we still saw lots including the amphitheatre which faces out to sea.
