The place was well chosen: At the back of the hill once flowed the Koúris, one of the water-rich rivers of Cyprus. He was led into the nymphaen of the city, irrigated city and fields.

The view from the theater used until today is breathtaking and extends to the southern cape of the island.

It is an unforgettable experience to see a performance here on a mild summer evening.
