Kourion Stadium : 5km from Kolossi
globetrott Says: There are some remains of an old arena not far from Kourion,maybe you like to take a look, although this place is certainly mainly something for people who are really interested very much in such old walls. For the ordinary tourists they have a Dixi-toilet there and a large...
The Sanctuary of Apollo Hylates
globetrott Says: The Sanctuary of Apollo Hylatesis another excavation-area close to the remains of ancient Kourion. This place is a bit set back from the main road and maybe worth a visit in case that you are really interested very much in ancient stones. No mosaiques there and only some few...
another old building next to the castle
globetrott Says: This is another building inside the fence of the Kolossi castle, it looks like a former storeage-house for the sugarmill, But I am not sure about that and could also find no information about it there. You cannot enter there but I think it looks interesting from outside !
Dont miss Kourion - it is just 4 km away
globetrott Says: Dont miss Kourion - it is just 4 km from Kolossi and it it one of the best excarvation-areas in Cyprus.In Kourion you will see some really excellent mosaiques dating back to the Roman empire. Kourion is quite a large village consisting of some good remains of several...
globetrott Says: The medieval townwall of the village Kolossi is still visible in quite a large length close to the Kolossi castle.Something else that I enjoyed a lot in Kolossi are the great local flowers still blooming at the end of October 2010, see one of them in my last photo.
globetrott Says: There are some remains of the sugar-mill and when you enlarge my photos you can see that there is a path around the stones in the centre that look a bit like a well. In this round path they obviously had oxen or other animals run in order to keep the mill working.
Agios Georgios - not far from Kolossi
globetrott Says: Agios Georgios - a great church on the beach in the south of Kolossi, in a distance of about 8 km. This church is on the beach, far away from any village. Saint Georga Chapel dates back to the 16th century and the next village is Akrotiri. In Akrotiri you might also find...
globetrott Says: step inside the castle At first you have to climb a stair outside of the castle in order to get to its entrancehall, that shows also an interesting frescoe (my last photo) . From there a steep spiral-stair will take you to the upper floors of the castle and to the top with a...
globetrott Says: The castle of Kolossi that you see there nowadays is dating back to the year 1554, but there was already a castle at this place in 1210. It was part of the medieval fortification-walls and it was also used as a storeage-hall for sugar, that was one of the most important...
next to the castle: Fresh Orange-juice & more
globetrott Says: Next to the Kolossi castle you will find 2 places, where you can get some freshly squeezed orange-juice. One of these places is a small kiosk directely at the castle-entrance and the other one is the restaurant in my photo. I had a fresh orange-juice that tasted really...
globetrott Says: Electricity in Cyprus has 220 Volt, but the plug might be different from the one that you use in your homecountry and so it will be the best to take an adaptor-plug with you, because even the big hotels obviously dont have a single plug in the rooms for the ordinary plugs of...
