    Advantages Advantages Beautiful Views. Well preserved mosaics.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Physically demanding. Needs a decent time investment to explore fully.

    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.

    Advantages Advantages Probably an experience you won't forget.

    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
