    This villa, built in early Roman times, was drastically rebuilt or redesigned in the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. The entire complex, as it is presented today, is the result of extensive reconstruction under Emperor Theodosius II (408-450 AD). The building follows the well-known Roman building type of the peristyle house (the characteristic element of such a house is the open courtyard surrounded by a portico).

    Significant mosaic floors have been preserved in the villa - including two inscriptions that show that the landlord Eustolios felt connected to both the new religion, Christianity, and the pagan religion.

    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. A long bay stretches along the sea side, ideal landing site for the numerous wooden ships. The steep plateau offered protection and strategic views. 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.
