6.Ancient Kourion Tour with Paphos Town

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 26 reviews · 7 hours · from $61

A 7-hour day trip from Limassol linking Kourion, Aphrodite’s Rock, the Tombs of the Kings, and Paphos mosaics with guided history.

“Interesting trip and I thought it was worth going on. My only criticism was that perhaps the group size was a little on the large size, meaning when exiting the coach from a back seat, whilst visiting the ancient sights, it wasn't possible to stand and look at what the guide was taking about due to everyone else in the group standing in the way. As a last pick-up, it wasn't possible to get a seat nearer the front. Also, the large size of the group made it sometimes a little difficult to hear what the guide was saying.”
