Ancient Kourion
Abandoned, broken down and quiet, this ancient city was once bustling with life. As we walked among the ruins where tourists now take posed pictures, I couldn’t help but imagine what life was like here and what their society’s concerns were. Ancient Kourion is a spectacular archeological site that boasts a Christian basilica, amazing mosaics and a reconstructed classical roman theatre that is still used for concerts today. The site was huge and the hillside location provided extensive views of the sea and fields nearby. Even though the signs placed near the ruins were helpful I would have liked to have a tour guide to bring the space to life. That being said, wandering around the near-deserted site was a wonderful and peaceful way to spend an afternoon as we tried to learn about another ancient Cypriot city.
