Fasouri Citrus Plantations (Pass By). The plantation is located on the west side of Limassol and it covers a total area of 1408 acres.
A brief photo stop outside at this historic Medieval Castle. Built by the Crusaders in the 13th century, this well-preserved building stands three stories tall and it is a good example of military architecture of that period.
The archaeological remains of Kourion are by far the island’s most important and impressive historical discoveries. As one of Cyprus' most prominent city-kingdoms of antiquity, Kourion was built on a hillside that overlooks the southern coast and its ruins date back to the Roman and early-Byzantine periods. It is a must see for everyone on the island and the remains of the ancient city of Kourion are perhaps the best known and most photographed in Cyprus. Try the coin test from the chorus and you will be amazed! Have a friend sit at the very top of the aphitheatre and another one drop a coin at the stage area. The acoustics at the Kourion are so remarkable you will hear the sound of the coin falling!
It is one of the largest villages of Krasochoria (wine-making villages). Built at the slope of the mountain, between a verdant carpet of vines, surrounded by mountains that appear as though they were placed in a masterly layout, is one of the most picturesque villages of Cyprus. The large plaza of the village, unique in its graphic quality and size, in front of the majestic monastery of the Holy Cross (connected to St. Helen’s Passage to Cyprus), the medieval Winepress, the narrow alleys, and the stone-made houses all "drowned" in green lend a special beauty and charm to the village. Moreover, the village's houses themselves present some interest as far as folkloric architecture is concerned, with the tiled roofs or terraces, the picturesque upper storeys, the paved and flowery yards with jars inside, the wooden doors and the variously decorated gateways, the balconies and elongated rooms being the main elements.
Wine tasting is one of the recommended experiences in the area. You will taste some wines and also the famous wine of the Kings, Comandaria. Cheers! Cheers! Stin ygeiá sas!
