If you are hiring a car it is easy enough to find. Alternatively there will be some kind of trip that will include a visit to it.

Hi,
We stayed at the Kefalos Beach in March and did a trip to Kourion. If you have a hire car you take the motorway towards Limassol. Kourion is signposted before Limassol and easy to find. If you don't want to go on the motorway you can use the coast road that goes past Aphrodite's Rock( there is a place to stop for photos) and then on past Pissouri. There is a nice beach and tavernas at Pissouri if you wanted a swim or lunch on the way back, also a beach with tavernas below the amphitheatre. It is a very interesting day trip as long as you like ruins (we do) and there are mosaics here as well as at Paphos harbour. It would probably take less than an hour driving each way if you take the motorway, more if you take the other road. Hope this helps and you have a good time.

Kourion is actually nearer Limassol, fantastic relic if a little contrived, best to see late in the day as the sun drops into the sea...wonderful!
Hi blackcat
As Jim says, Kourion is in Limassol District (it's about 5 mins from my house). The easiest way to get there is to drive along the highway to Limassol and take the signed exit.
Alternatively, you can drive along the 'old Limassol road' that takes you along the coast past Petra tou Romiou, which is much more scenic.
Journey time from Paphos is about 20-25 mins. You may be lucky and be able to catch one of the events they hold in the eveings.

Hi blackcat 
As nhowarth said it will take very little time to get there It sits in a great
position and is worth a visit. There is a lovely beach below it with tavernas
where you can sit and cool off

Thanks Helen.
Helen, why is the 2nd your favorite, I like the 1st one as you drive to the beach ?
This has always been one of my favorite unspoilt beaches in the area as its not over run by tourists and the tavernas prices reflect this.
I'm visiting between 2nd~9th July, and will use this beach at least 4 times during the week, as I like the beach/sea and the wife loves the food served there.

Hi CazzMicknTom
> The sea looks soooooo inviting.
Fortunately the areas protected from development (which is one of the reasons we chose to live here). So there aren't zillions of concrete boxes & tourist hotels littering the place.
Apart from weekends & holidays, the beach is usually very quiet. You can walk out into the sea for a good 100 metres before it gets too deep.
Having tried all the beach restaurants, I concur that the middle one 'Chris' Blue Beach' is the best.

Hi Helen,
My place is on the northern outskirts of Erimi - between the village & Erimi Gardens (the John Theodorou development). The house is difficult to miss as it's the only one in the village with a green roof.

Helen,We decided to move to Cyprus in the late 1980s - it took us more than 12 years to make it. Just keep saving those pennies.

Hi Amber and Karl
Nice to hear from you again
The beach in the piccie is Curium beach and can be found between Episkopi
Garrison and Episkopi village looking down from the amphitheatre It is
a fabulous uncrowded beach on which to relax Although we'll be staying
in Paphos this year instead of Epi Garrison we'll still be using that beach
We did go to Pissouri beach but the grandchildren prefer Curium
We go back on 13th September to the Avanti Village Paphos

Hi Bluebabe
Nice to chat again, we remember you telling us about the Avanti village, hope you have a really good time.
We went to Pissouri beach once and must say we prefer Curium beach too.
Shame you are there 3wks after us, could have had a drink

It would have been nice to have a drink with you both
Nigel I hope one day we might make it but there are a couple of concerns we
have to sort out If we do I'd like a house in Erimi or round that area
