The Kourion Coastline
Inhospitable Landscape
You would have to be a seriously dedicated hiker to go for a yomp across that cliff-face. I imagine there are several goat paths that traverse it, but there is a sheer drop waiting for you should you take a tumble.
Interesting Erosion
I love the shapes that nature carves out of the rocks. I guess there might be some caves down there too.
Snorkelling Potential
Those rocks look like they might be interesting to snorkel around. When I return for my swim I shall have to pack my snorkel and mask.
Ancient Kourion
The Archaeological Site here is well worth a visit. While not as impressive as the one in Paphos, it will certainly keep you occupied, and you can drive down to the beach afterwards!
Relaxing Kourion
I shall leave you with a slightly longer film I made, flying the drone around the perimeter of the Archaeological Park. Turn the sound up as it has some nice relaxing music. Hope you enjoy it!

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
