If the site of ancient Kourion were a municipal park it would be stunning. Set on a high bluff above south coast of Cyprus it gives spectacular views along the rugged coast westwards, the Akrotiri peninsula to the east, and the beach and plots of intensive market gardening on the coastal shelf below. Beyond the cobalt and emerald blues of the scudding sea suck out to a shimmering, expectant horizon. The site itself is a flat plateau with sharply defined cliff edges. Behind the land falls away into the steep Kouris river valley before the dry, scrubby, ochre hills rise up and merge into the distant Troodos mountains. It catches the booming south-easterly shore breeze and sparkles in the dancing reflected light from the sea. On a cold winter day with a north-easterly gale blowing down off the mountains it would be miserable but on a bright blowy day in June it was exhilarating beyond compare.
