About Kourion
Kourion was an important ancient Greek city-state on the southwestern coast of the island of Cyprus. In the twelfth century BCE, after the collapse of the Mycenaean palaces, Greek settlers from Argos arrived on this site. In the fourth century, Kourion suffered from five heavy earthquakes, but the city was mostly rebuilt. The acropolis of Kourion, located 1.3 km (0.81 mi) southwest of Episkopi and 13 km (8.1 mi) west of Limassol, is located atop a limestone promontory nearly 100 metres (330 ft) high along the coast of Episkopi Bay.
