The bus ride lasted about 30 minutes.
This trip was probably one of the most spectacular things which i have seen on this island. The ancient ruins of Courion are on top of a small mountain near the water. So from up there i got a wonderful view on all the whole coast. Like in the picture down below.
The admission to Courion was not expensive. For only 1.70 euro you can walk around and spend as much time there as you want. Some tourists are pissed of by these kind of prices. And say stuff like: 1.70 euro only for a bunch of stones. But common 1.70 is really not much money at all.
In my opinion if you have the money to stay in hotel in cyprus for like 200 euros per night, these 1-2 euros admission are nothing in comparision. If you spend so mu money on your holiday and cannot even afford to spend 2euros for a trip like this sounds really weird to me.
In courion they have an ancient theatre which is shown in the two pictures down below. I heard that sometimes they show plays and stuff in this ancient theatre. Though i didn*t have the chance to see on of these events, i think it might be quite a nice experience to watch some theatre or maybe music performance in this theatre.
Because i went on this tri all alone i used the timer mode of my camera to take a picture of myself.
Sometimes i asked people to take a picture of me like in the next picuture.
On the top of the mountain i found a very cute cat chilling out in the shadow. Of course i couldn*t resist of taking a picture of this lovely cat. This cat has probably the most beautiful view ever amongst all the pets in this world :) . Well, at least in case it is taking advantage of it.
If you turn around and face the opposite direction from the seaside in direction of the inland you get a view
of the inland scenery as shown in the next picture.
Of course you also get to see a lot of ancient ruins from the past as shown in the next to pictures. Unfortunately most of them seems to have been destroyed. Next to the ruins you can sometimes read some small information about what these ruins used to be in the past. But to be honest, i think if you have a tour guide who can show you around and know some deeper background information this can be quite helpful.
Unfortunately i didn*t take one. So i probably missed something by that. Nevertheless i just tried to enjoy the view.
As the great nature lover who i am, these kind of sceneries (as seen in the picture down below) really impress me a lot. I think in a place like courion you can see the true face and beauty of this island. The beaches and the whole coast with the cliffs etc looks a lot more beautiful without all the ugly hotels and high rise buildings which you usually have in the cities.
I think to go swimming down there is probably quite a nice thing. Although i didn*t do it, because i was too lazy to walk down all the way to the water. I think down there at the water was some kind of resort. I suppose if you have a car or something you might be abe to stay there over night. But yeah am not hundred percent sure because i haven*t been down there...
