Your late holidays to Cyprus should certainly include a trip to Kourion, to the west of Limassol. These impressive ruins sit on the top of a cliff where you can see the Roman theatre, the temple of Apollo, mosaics, villas and a fascinating basilica from the Byzantine era.
If you plan to spend your late holidays to Cyprus at the Paphos end of the island, you will be surrounded by history – the town is named as a world heritage city, due to the number of archaeological discoveries in the area. At Paphos harbour you will find the fort which was built in the 16th century by the Turks, and destroyed and rebuilt many time throughout history. Also close to the harbour is the Paphos Archaeological Park, a fantastic attraction that has many interesting sites, including the House of Dionysos and the House of Theseus. These large Roman villas have some of the best mosaics in the world.
