Ancient & coastal
Kourion, Kolossi & Aphrodite's Rock Tour
The classic coastal trio — ruins, Crusaders and mythic shoreline.
The classic Limassol shore combo: Kourion's cliff-top ruins, Kolossi's Hospitaller keep and Aphrodite's Rock on the road west. Same essential geography as Best of Cyprus — the route every first-timer should know.
Early coach west from New Port. Guided Kourion walk, short Kolossi visit, then coastal stop at Petra tou Romiou for photos and free time.
Slightly more photo-paced than historian-depth tours — still covers the icons. Confirm whether lunch is included.
Upgrade to private-cyprus-tour for flexible timing at the theatre, or ultimate-cyprus-experience for the luxury flagship day.

Getting there from the cruise port
Cruise ships dock at Limassol New Port / passenger terminal. City marina and old town are roughly 10–15 minutes away. Kourion lies about 20–25 minutes west along the coast. Aphrodite's Rock (Petra tou Romiou) is typically 40–50 minutes. Troodos Mountains need longer — allow 1–1.5 hours each way. Confirm your all-aboard time and keep a 60–90 minute return buffer.
Tips for cruise passengers
- Morning departure preferred in summer
- Carry 1–2 litres water
- Decide swim plans before you dress
