Kourion
One of the most beautifully positioned ancient sites in Cyprus,
the ancient city of Kourion is located on the southern shores of
Cyprus just outside of Limassol and is believed to have been
founded by the Argives. The city has passed through different
phases from Hellenistic, Roman, and Christian periods and the
agora(market place), Christian Basilica and large
public bath bear testament to this city's impressive list of
inhabitants. The most impressive feature of Kourion is the restored
Greco-Roman theatre that looks out over the dazzling Mediterranean,
which hosts open air musical and theatrical performances and is one
of the venues for the International Festival of Ancient Greek
Drama. Check out the House of the Gladiators, the Roman baths, the
House of Achilles and the Temple of Apollo while visiting
Kourion.
