Tour to Paphos and Kourion includes Aphrodite's Birthplace and Geroskipou village visit. We will head today to other part of the island. After a quick coffee break near Chirokitia village we will visit archeological site of ancient Kurion. The archaeological remains of Kourion - which was one of the island’s most important city-kingdoms in antiquity - are of the most impressive on the island, and excavations have unearthed many significant finds, which can be viewed at the site.The city-kingdom was built on the hills of the area, and overlooked and controlled the fertile valley of the river Kouris. According to archaeological finds, evidence suggests that Kourion was associated with the Greek legend of Argos of Peloponnese, and that its inhabitants believed they were descendents of Argean immigrants. The once-flourishing kingdom was eventually destroyed in a severe earthquake in 365 AD.Then we will continue to Paphos, where you will have free time in Pafos Harbour for sightseeing and lunch. After we will have a short stop at Geroskipou village at a traditional Cyprus Delights shop. Our last stop will be at the Rock - Birthplace of Aphrodite for photos and swimming.
