Episkopi at a glance:

• Picturesque

Episkopi is a village located about 14 kilometers west of the city of Limassol and 40 kilometers east of Paphos. Episkopi is built on the foothill of ancient Kourion at a height of 60 meters. It's close to the west bank of the river Kouris and overlooks the bay of Kourion.

Episkopi is rich in agriculture and stock raising, whose roots go back to ancient times. Archaeological remains reveal that Episkopi was closely associated with the ancient town of Curium, while later in the early Christian years, it was the centre of the area and the seat of bishops (to this it owes its name, episkopos is the Greek word for bishop).

The surrounding area is full of notable churches and archaeological sites.
