Mostly ruins, but that can tell many stories. The amphitheatre is probably the best-preserved part of the site. There isn’t much left of the House of Achilles, the public baths, the basilica, or the House of the Gladiators. Many areas are covered with very heavy protective structures, a kind of roofing that I assume is meant to shield mosaics and other valuable remains of the site’s glorious past. Unfortunately, these constructions are quite massive and, instead of fading into the background, they dominate the space at the expense of the themselves. I was in absolute awe being here. Little to no expectation as I drove from Limassol to Paphos. So happy I stopped here. I spent about an hr & half here. Allow for couple hours. Some shaded areas, but mostly you are completely exposed by the heat. Parking is ample and included in the ticket. As you enter the area you will come to boom gates, you’ll need to stop and pay before proceeding. Beautifully surrounded with an incredible water view. Some sections are disability friendly - one section has ramps and even brail. The rest may be a challenge. If you have the time, highly recommend. Fabulous place... we went early ish, arrived at 10... as did several coach tour parties... but the is big enough that you can a find your way around This is really beautiful. Can be a bit of a pain to get to from Limassol but is definitely worth it. The entrance is only 4,50€ and you can get a taxi driver to wait for you whilst you explore. There’s really not many people here and it is actually incredible to see. Would definitely recommend coming here whilst in Cyprus. This Archeological is a gem, with the of a huge Roman villa with a breathtaking view over the Med being the center piece. If you love ancient history, you'll love it ! Kourion is an absolutely stunning archaeological with breathtaking views over the Mediterranean. The ancient are beautifully preserved — from the impressive theatre to the intricate mosaic floors that tell stories from centuries past. Walking through the feels like stepping back in time, and the location itself is magical, especially at sunset. Everything is well signposted with clear information about the history, and the area is clean and well maintained. Whether you’re a history lover or just want to enjoy incredible scenery, Kourion is a must-visit in Cyprus. Parking is included in price of the ticket (4,5€). Almost whole House of Eustolius was unavailable because of renovation work, yet they charged us full price. Again, no printed manual or map was given, neither any further information. Just pay us and do whatever you want, we dont care. An amazing historical site, with stunning ocean views, Gladiator houses with beautiful mosaics, and the amphitheatre all in wonderful condition. Definitely recommend for a visit, it's a large so you can definitely make a morning/afternoon of the visit Fascinating place to visit,we had a guide when we went who explained what every excavated was about. It seemed everybody who was there had a guide so I suppose this is the best way to experience the to get maximum information from what it is you're seeing. We really enjoyed it. Visited on a morning. You will need a couple of hours and it’s all under the sun so put your sunscreen on and protect yourself. Bring a bottle of water. It’s really nice, you can walk all over the ruins, there are more then 20 landmarks spread all over the hill with explanations on the history. The price is 4.5€ if I’m not wrong, super fair. You will find parking inside after buying the tickets. Take your time and enjoy the views since it’s really stunning. There’s a lot of Belvedere that are covered for a bit of well deserved shadow. Wonderful place - even for those who have already visited a lot of ancient sites. Well preserved amphitheater, agora and several mosaics.
