The theatre of Kourion stands on a bluff above Episkopi Bay, about 14 km west of Limassol. It was first built in the 2nd century BC and enlarged in Roman times, and its restored seating looks straight out to sea.

It is part of the wider Kourion archaeological site, which also includes Roman baths, mosaic-floored houses and early Christian remains. The site opens daily, and the theatre is still used for summer concerts and plays.
