Vanuit Paphos : Rondleiding door Limassol, Kourion & Kolossi Castle
Beschrijving
Wij nodigen u uit om historische bezienswaardigheden rond Limassol te bezoeken en meer te weten te komen over de oude en middeleeuwse periode in de geschiedenis van Cyprus, inclusief de ridderperiode en kruistochten. Onze eerste stop is bij Kurion, een oude stadstaat gebouwd door de deelnemers aan de Trojaanse oorlog in de 10e eeuw voor Christus. Je ziet unieke mozaïeken en het oude amfitheater, dat nog steeds in werkende staat wordt gehouden en plaats biedt aan ongeveer 3500 bezoekers. We vervolgen onze reis naar Kolossi Castle, ooit bekend als een verdedigingsfort in het tijdperk van de kruisvaarders op Cyprus. Je hebt ook vrije tijd om langs de meest pittoreske plekken van Limassol te wandelen - het park aan het water, de smalle straatjes van de oude stad, en een bezoek te brengen aan het kasteel van Limassol - een groot architectonisch monument uit de Middeleeuwen, waar Richard Leeuwenhart trouwde.

Reisroute
Aphrodite's mythische geboorteplaats 'Petra tou Romiou' is een interessante geologische formatie van enorme rotsen langs een van de mooiste kustlijnen van het eiland, gelegen aan de zuidwestkust van het district Pafos (Paphos).
De archeologische overblijfselen van Kourion – dat in de oudheid een van de belangrijkste stadskoninkrijken van het eiland was – behoren tot de meest indrukwekkende op het eiland, en bij opgravingen zijn veel belangrijke vondsten aan het licht gekomen, die ter plekke kunnen worden bekeken.
Het Kolossi-kasteel is een mooi voorbeeld van militaire architectuur en werd oorspronkelijk gebouwd in de 13e eeuw en in de 15e eeuw in zijn huidige vorm herbouwd.
Vrije tijd in de oude binnenstad van Limassol / jachthaven Kasteel van Limassol optioneel

We were staying in Paphos but wanted to see more of the island so I booked this tour as it wasn't too long and included a few stops of interest. The bus was comfortable and included air con and the guide was friendly and informative, not just at the stops we made but about the history or Cyprus and Cyprus in general. We stopped off at Aphrodite's Rock for a quick photo opportunity (what a view!) before arriving at our first stop at the archaeological site of Kourion. Our guide shows us the highlights of the site before giving us some free time to wander around. It's not a overly big site but there is some walking involved and there are shaded spots dotted around if you need a rest. The next stop was Kolossi castle, which was quite impressive, and there's a nice cafe nearby where you can get refreshments and a snack. Then it was off to Limassol for a walk around the posh marina and then to Limassol Castle. To be honest, I'm not sure what the visit to Limassol added to the tour but we found a nice place for lunch. Be sure to take water to stay hydrated, a hat for protection from the sun and I would recommend wearing comfortable shoes for the walking.
Great tour, had fun. Our guide, Angela, is a sweet lady who shared many interesting facts about Cyprus with us. The itinerary was well planned, though I personally would prefer more time at the Aphrodite beach because it’s so pretty (if it means taking time from the other sites then maybe less time in Limassol). Overall I’d recommend this tour. The only small downside to the tour is that the bus’ air conditioning wasn’t working for maybe half the time, good thing we made stops and got out to walk around fairly frequently so the stuffy bus wasn’t totally unbearable.

We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience and found our guide, Angela, to be informative and engaging.

Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you again on another of our tours soon. Kind regards, Customer Experience Team Constructour
Positive and relaxing trip. Knowledgable guide, clean and comfortable transport, a lot of time to explore the sights. I wasn't that impressed with the sites and the city though but the overall trip was much more relaxing than the other ones I participated in from different companies.

Throughly enjoyed all aspects of the trip. Guide was excellent and a shout out also to the driver, sorry forgot the names. My only comment would be having an extra 15 minutes at Kourian which woukd mean a little less time spent in Limassol. Would recommend.

Our guide for this trip was Viiola, she was fabulous - so knowledgeable and accommodating. For me, we didn't have enough time at Kourion - what an amazing site that is, when i return to Paphos I'd like to visit again and spend more time here. Kolossi was also well worth a visit - bonus was the coffee shop is good here too :-) Limassol disappointed us - we spent a lot of the guided tour walking through the private marina, not really of interest personally, and Limassol Old Town didn't have much of interest in it either, although the castle is worth paying to visit. All said, the tour itself was very well organised and went smoothly - info about pick up location and time arrived well in advance.

Thank you again for your kind words about the organisation and communication of the tour. We hope to welcome you back to Paphos for another visit where you can enjoy more time at Kourion and discover other attractions at your own pace. Best regards, Customer Experience Team Constructour
We went through Constructour to organize two private tours, Limassol / Kourion / Kolossi and the Troodos mountains with the monastery of Kykkos. Everything went perfectly in terms of the organization of the reservation and the return to the customer afterwards. Our special needs have been passed on to the guides.

Very beautiful castle well restored, too bad that its environment has not been preserved because it deserves to sit in the middle of a beautiful park.
Dear Traveller, We thank you for taking the time to,leave comments regarding your recent tour. Regards, Customer Experience Team Constructour
I've been on Viator tours a lot, but this one was the worst. As when I used the same course nine years ago, I gave advance notice that I would "take the Paphos ride and get off Limassol." Last time, it was a comfortable tour with a large bus and luggage in the side trunk. This time, they packed six people in a regular passenger car.
After being picked up at our hotel we first stopped of at Aphrodite's Rock for some nice photo opportunities. We then visited Kourion Archaeological Site. It was very interesting to see the ancient ruins via a full walking tour by our fantastic guide, Violi. We then visited Kolossi Castel nearby followed by our main afternoon stop in Limassol. We had a walking tour through the Marina into the Old Town for some lunch and some free time for browsing the shops and seeing the Castle. Arrived back at our Hotel late afternoon.
Dear James, Thank you again for sharing your experience with us. It sounds like you had a splendid time visiting Aphrodite's Rock, Kourion Archaeological Site, Kolossi Castle, and Limassol. We're delighted to hear that our guide Viola, made your tour more enjoyable. Your feedback helps us ensure that we continue to meet and exceed our guests' expectations.
