Another of the major archaeological sights on the island. From 8BC to 4AD this was where the cult of Apollo found their spiritual home. Part of the temple has been reconstructed and excavations have found baths, pilgrim halls and a holy precinct.

KEO Winery Tour

by gigina

KEO is the largest drinks manufacturer on the island. In the space of about half an hour we were shown the cellars of the heavy sweet Commanderia, where a third of each barrelful is retained as the mana or mother ferment for the next cycle. The tasting session proved to be a wonderful opportunity to familiarise ourselves with Cypriot wine types.

Just show up at 9.50am

This city is the centre of its wine-making industry, and an important commercial and tourist centre. If you are thinking of doing some shopping, Limassol will be a perfect choice!
