Private Kourion Tour – Ancient City & Sanctuary of Apollon Hylates

Kourion – Power, Theatre & the Sea

A central highlight of the Private Kourion Tour is the ancient city of Kourion, spectacularly located 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.

During your Private Kourion Tour, you will explore the famous Greco-Roman theatre, 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, panoramic views stretch across the coastline, making Kourion one of the most visually striking archaeological locations on the island.

Apollo Hylates – Sanctuary of the God of the Forest

The Private Kourion Tour continues 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 centre for centuries.

Walking through the sanctuary during your Private Kourion Tour, you will 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.

A Private Experience, Your Pace

What makes the Private Kourion Tour special is its flexibility. The tour is always private, meaning it is tailored entirely to you and your travel companions. There is time for photography, questions, quiet moments and deeper exploration — without pressure or rushing.

The Private Kourion Tour is ideal for travellers interested in history, archaeology, culture and landscapes, as well as for those who want to understand Cyprus beyond the surface.
