the sanctuary of apollo印象

The Temple of Apollo is actually not much these days, as it's about two pillars and an eighth of a wall. However, the grounds themselves, consisting of the domritories where worshippers would have stayed and the sacred road to the temple are all in reasonably good shape (for ruins). There is an excavation of the local baths, and you can get a sense of the area's importance - people would have journeyed here from afar to have stayed, bathed, and worshipped. It was a great way to experience a bit of Roman life that previously only existed in books in high school. A stone's throw from Kourion, it's definitely worth a visit.

Driven past many times, decided to visit this time. Pleasantly surprised by the weath of ancient history at our feet. If you are into history, culture and Cyprus, pay the Sanctuary a visit.The views are pretty stunning too!

An absolute majestic place to visit, where legend states the location of where Apollo was worshiped. A lot of the artifacts and alter has been restored through ages, however it is one place from many places within Cyprus not to miss.

Compact but very interesting and very pretty site overlooking the sea with some factual boards explaining about the buildings and the history. There are a range of buildings and standing columns on the site but they are overshadowed by the sympathetically restored and massive twin columns and frontage of the Temple of Apollo which also adorns the front of my Cyprus road map. Seeing this alone is worth the entrance money...but why oh why were the power company allowed to build a row of pylons behind the temple which are visible in every vista and every photograph.Very close to the Kourion and so easy to combine a visit.

I visited the Sanctuary of Apollo the day after visiting Aphrodite's temple. It is indeed a change of energy, and I highly recommend comparing the two. The ruins here are more 'intact', and you can still see ancient walls and doorways. the temple itself was partially restored, making this site more easy to imagine.

Worth a stopover on the way to Kourion. The baths and dormitories were well preserved. Make use of the day ticket if you plan to visit a few archaeological sites and museums in a day.

A very interesting place to walk around and imagine what it would have been like - worth the visit. There are still mosaics in place and the explanations are good.

From the road it doesn't look like very much, but once inside it was a very interesting site and we spent a surprising few hours there. The Roman remains have been well re-constructed and the people/guides there are very helpful and speak excellent English

This is an amazing place, situated on a huge site on top of a hill not far from Kourion.Although many of the archaeological aspects of this site have been reconstructed, there are also masses of archaeological ruins that really give you a sense of how impressive this place would have looked at the time of its construction. It's a large site and takes a good while to explore fully and absorb the atmosphere. One of the most impressive places we have visited in Cyprus.

Such an atmospheric spot to visit if you are an ancient history lover. It gets very hot though there being no shade for quite a lot of the site.
