Kourion Beach is my favourite. It is a lovely, long sandy beach, in a beautiful location. The Chris Blue restaurant is excellent with very good facilities. Toilets, showers, etc. And a great menu. The beach is popular with families with young children. And it's big enough to accommodate people wanting a quiet spot, too. The water is clean, and it's easy to walk into the sea with a long, gentle slope. What more can you ask for.

It's a beautiful pebbled beach but if you don't like the wind and the waves, it may not be for you. I spent days on this beach as a younger person so its really nice to reconnect- I still picked up rubbish people leave behind, just as I did 30 yrs ago. If you go to the very right of the beach where the clifs are, you maybe lucky to see this "Virgin and the Child" rock formation... to me, She is very obvious here 🥰

Lovely beach, sunbeds available, not many stones on the beach. It's shallow to walk onto the sea. Lovely bar restaurant nearby with fresh and good portions of food. Plenty of parking spaces

Kourion Beach is a stunning coastal gem that offers much more than just a swim. The mix of ancient history nearby and the vast Mediterranean horizon makes it a unique spot. It is particularly famous for its spectacular sunsets – the way the sun dips into the sea, painting the sky in deep orange and gold, is truly unforgettable. The beach is spacious, well-maintained, and perfect for a long walk at the end of the day. Whether you're here for the waves or just to relax and watch the sunset, it’s a must-visit location in the Limassol district. Absolutely beautiful!

The beach is quite beautiful and generally clean, with just a few pieces of litter here and there. Its expansive size is a major plus, as it allows visitors to spread out and enjoy their own space. This spaciousness adds to the overall relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere of the beach.

Great open-sea beach, to enjoy mornings, noons, afternoons, and even nights when full moon and stars are up. Great for walks, swimming, wind-surfing, and photos :) Good for all the family. I grew up there, and I never got tired of it. Even now, when I need unwinding from a busy day, I drive there to relax.
