Från Paphos: Guidad tur i Limassol, Kourion & Kolossi slott
Beskrivning
Vi inbjuder dig att besöka historiska platser runt Limassol och lära dig om antika och medeltida perioder i Cyperns historia, inklusive riddarperioden och korstågen. Vårt första stopp kommer att vara vid Kurion, en gammal stadsstat byggd av deltagarna i det trojanska kriget på 1000-talet f.Kr. Du kommer att se unika mosaiker och den antika amfiteatern, som fortfarande hålls i fungerande skick och kan ta emot cirka 3500 besökare. Vi fortsätter vår resa till Kolossi-slottet, en gång känt som en defensiv befästning under korsfarartiden på Cypern. Du kommer också att ha ledig tid att promenera längs de mest pittoreska platserna i Limassol - parken vid vattnet, smala gatorna i den gamla staden, och besöka Limassol Castle - ett stort arkitektoniskt monument från medeltiden, där Richard Lejonhjärta gifte sig.

Resplan
Afrodites mytomspunna födelseplats 'Petra tou Romiou' är en intressant geologisk formation av enorma klippor längs en av de vackraste kustlinjerna på ön, belägen på den sydvästra kusten av Pafos (Paphos) distriktet.
De arkeologiska lämningarna av Kourion - som var ett av öns viktigaste stadsriken under antiken - är av de mest imponerande på ön, och utgrävningar har grävt fram många betydande fynd som kan beskådas på platsen.
Kolossi-slottet, som tjänar som ett fint exempel på militär arkitektur, byggdes ursprungligen på 1200-talet och byggdes om i sin nuvarande form på 1400-talet.

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.
Dear Meg, Dear [Recipient's Name], Thank you very much for sharing your detailed feedback regarding your recent trip. We are delighted to hear that Viiola provided you with exceptional guidance and that you found her both knowledgeable and accommodating.

Regarding your experience in Limassol, we regret that the tour did not meet your expectations and that the highlights of the old town did not capture your interest as hoped. Your comments about the private marina and the overall experience are valuable to us, and we will review these aspects to improve our future tours. 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. We look forward to welcoming you back on another of our tours in the future. Kind Regards, Customer Experience Team Constructour
