Things to Do  

Kourion Stadium : 5km from Kolossi

Kourion Stadium : 5km from Kolossi, 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

The Sanctuary of Apollo Hylates, Kolossi

 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

another old building next to the castle, Kolossi

 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

Dont miss Kourion - it is just 4 km away, Kolossi

 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... 

the medieval townwall

the medieval townwall, Kolossi

 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. 

remains of the sugar-mill

remains of the sugar-mill, Kolossi

 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

Agios Georgios - not far from Kolossi, 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... 

step inside the castle

step inside the castle, Kolossi

 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...

Electricity & plug-adaptors

Electricity & plug-adaptors, Kolossi

 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...
