Description
Begin your private tour with a visit to the ancient city of Kourion, perched on a cliff high above the Mediterranean Sea. Once one of the most powerful city-kingdoms of Cyprus, Kourion impresses visitors with its grand scale and dramatic setting. Explore the famous Greco-Roman theater, still used today for performances, as well as the remains of villas adorned with intricate mosaics, public baths, and early Christian basilicas. From the edge of the site, take in panoramic views stretching across the coastline, making Kourion one of the most visually striking archaeological locations on the island. Next, head to the Sanctuary of Apollo Hylates, located in a peaceful natural setting just outside the ancient city. This sacred site was dedicated to Apollo as protector of forests and nature and served as an important religious center for centuries. Walk through the sanctuary and encounter temple foundations, courtyards, altars, and ancient pathways that reflect the spiritual importance of this place. The calm atmosphere offers a powerful contrast to the dramatic coastal cliffs of Kourion. Enjoy the flexibility of a private tour, tailored entirely to you and your travel companions. Take your time for photography, questions, quiet moments, and deeper exploration — without pressure or rushing.Includes
