Touring in Cyprus
Limassol is Cyprus's main cruise port and the starting point for two of the island's best-known ancient sites. Kourion, an extensive Greco-Roman city on a bluff above the sea, features a restored 2nd-century BC amphitheater still used for performances today, along with the mosaic floors of the House of Eustolios. Nearby, Kolossi Castle is a three-story Crusader-era stronghold once tied to the Knights of St. John and the Knights Templar. Inland, the wine villages of the Troodos foothills add a slower, rural counterpoint to Limassol's ancient ruins.
A private Cyprus shore excursion from Limassol lets you cover Kourion, Kolossi Castle, and a Troodos wine village in one flexible day rather than a fixed group route. Your private vehicle, driver, and licensed English-speaking guide can adjust for the site's uneven terrain and hillside paths, linger over a tasting at a local winery, or focus the day purely on archaeology. All Cyprus shore excursions include our back-to-ship guarantee, so you can explore Limassol's surrounding countryside with a guaranteed return to port.
