About Kourion
Kourion crowns a limestone cliff above Episkopi, settled by Greeks from Argos after the Mycenaean collapse in the 12th century BC and later a Roman regional capital. Earthquakes flattened it in 365 AD; Arab raids finished off the acropolis in the 7th century. What survives spans centuries: a 3,500-seat Greco-Roman theatre still used for performances, the mosaic floors of the House of Eustolios, Cyprus's only excavated stadium, and the Sanctuary of Apollo Hylates a short walk along the cliff.
