    INTRODUCTION With our grand tour of Cyprus coming to an end for another year, there was just enough time to fit in one more excursion before focussing our efforts on the much less glamorous task of preparing to close down my father-in-law’s summer house. With Kolossi Castle marked off the itinerary, we decided to visit its close neighbour, the archaeological site of Ancient Kourion (or Curium in Latin), which is well known for its amphitheatre, beautiful views, and well preserved floor mosaics.

    Advantages Advantages Probably an experience you won't forget.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None unless you cannot walk, so bring your scooter.

    CURIUM ( or as it is sometimes known ). KOURIAN. (modern version) The town of Curium lies in the southern most point of Cyprus. Just west of Akritiri where the United Nations Forces are based.

    Advantages Advantages Nice beach, views and countryside

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not much for a more active party person

    I have been to Curium beach many times and i shall be going many more. its is a very nice place to go it has many places to eat along the beach which are all tasty and value for money. The beach has a wide variety of sand n stones so its good for children and those who don't like sand. Life guards are present most of the time on the beach. the view is amazing around the area as it is the liffs and mountain tops. The area Curium itself is easy to get to and nice for the countryside views. its the more pastoral side to Limassol so people can see all the crops beung grown which is a nice view ... more
