Ancient Kourion

The ancient ruins of Curion are located on the mountainous land of the Limassol coastal area on the southwest coast of Cyprus. It was first developed as a colony after the Greek Achaean invasion of Cyprus in the 14th century BC. During the Roman Empire, development reached its peak. The fourth century was devastated by a severe earthquake. In the seventh century, the Arabs invaded Cyprus and gradually fell into ruins. Main attractions are: the site of the Eustorius House, built between the 4th and 5th centuries, visitors can enjoy the mosaic-insulated bathing ground; the ancient Roman amphitheater, built in the 2nd century BC.
