Archaeological Site of Kition

When you visit this archaeological site your first impressions might be that there isn’t really anything to see. But when you start reading the story of what used to be here and what the site represents, paired with a visit to the museum not far away you will get an understanding of the life and culture of the people who used to live here. A tip is to bring an umbrella if it’s hot, there isn’t any shade.

I didn't know what to expect given the mixed reviews, but I'm very happy to have visited and I do think it's worth it. Whilst true that there isn't a whole lot to see, it's still pretty impressive and to appreciate the temples and other details such as footbridge and horns of consecration of Minoan Crete. Personally I enjoyed sitting in the shade on the benches and reading the information panels, there are quite a few. To enter, look out for the little white building with blue doors (and air con blasting!). Entrance costs €2.50 and the man is friendly enough, not super chatty.

A place where history comes alive through the ruins of one of Cyprus’ oldest cities. I have attached a picture taken with the drone from above below.

Ticket per adult 2 euros, Childers under 12 are free .,no guider , you guide yourself 🤨… no canteen bring your water with you … 2 hour is enough for whole tour and reading notes … rest rooms are available… the place is clean .

Hard to not give a star rating for this place. It’s a great example of original and outstanding architecture. You can walk all around it and take it all in. Pretty cool to see and try and imagine how it was built all those years ago.

Historical place with lots of information There are plenty of parking spaces and the entrance fee is fair and reasonable for €2.50. The area is not particularly big, but there are lots of information boards explaining the individual buildings and elements and their history. Definitely worth to visit. There are also toilets and some benches in the shadow to rest on hot days.

This is a great site and it’s currently being renovated. It really takes you through the history of the site of Kition. It was busy, but did not feel crowded. My only criticism is that the information is limited and there is no real route to walk. The language used on signage isn’t in basic English so for second language speakers (and it’s not great for kids to understand). It could be made more fun by having activities for children and providing for information. The staff are pleasant but don’t go out of their way to provide support or guidance.

Underwhelming experience. Just a few leftovers of walls described on half a page. Walkway is too far away from the walls. The wooden bridge with a small glass floor felt completely unreasonable. It was very obvious the excavation was far from finished but they stopped it, there must be many more walls under the ground
