Itinerary
Aphrodite's mythical birthplace 'Petra tou Romiou' is an interesting geological formation of huge rocks along one of the most beautiful coastlines on the island, located on the southwest coast of the Pafos (Paphos) district.
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.
Serving as a fine example of military architecture, Kolossi castle was originally built in the 13th century, and rebuilt in its present form in the 15th century.
Free time in Limassol old town / Marina port Limassol Castle optional

Traveler reviews
Relaxing, plenty of time to explore, knowledgable guide
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.
Lovely daytrip with many...
Lovely daytrip with many different impressions. Some highlights of Cyprus in a comfortable touringcar.
Enjoyable historical trip
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.
Limassol, Kourion and Kolossi
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.
Availability and good organization by the agency
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.
