Photographer’s Note

The ruins of Kourion, near the modern city of Episkopi, is located on one of the most fertile spots in the island, with extensive ruins and including well-preserved mosaics. Also of interest are the public baths, the Nymphaeum, the necropolis, the Fountain House, House of Gladiators and House of Achilles. The most spectacular site at Kourion is the Greco-Roman amphitheatre, or forum, that has been completely restored (with the Mediterranean as a backdrop) and is used today for open air musical and theatrical performances.

Wow!.. excelent POV. I like the lower angle used to emphasize the view and the lines. Some kind of minimalistic. Excelent work

Hello Grzegorz,
a very well catched moment. It looks so beautiful, and full of symbol I think (history meets present).
I also like your useful note: it really explains the historical richness of Cyprus.
I`m very glad to hear that they have restored this wonderful amphiteatre, and that they use it today for cultural events.

Thank you for this great photo

Regards
Ferhat

Hi Grzegorz,

the point of view, so close to the ancient stairs, and the angle are quite creative to be honest...both helped to recover the distinctive and aesthetic look of this structure...one may say that the person on the top provides a scale to compare, but as the angle is distorted, in an inspiring way, the effect could be easily misleading...cheers, arturo
