Walk it in context

Pair Old town, castle & marina with the castle, then take Ancient Amathous to the city for the much older landscape east of the centre.

A coastline of connected periods

The modern city spreads far beyond the castle, but its historic geography still runs along the coast from Amathous to the old port and further west. Archaeology, wine country, harbour life and religious buildings are different chapters of one regional landscape.

Plan two linked visits: Old town, castle & marina gives the compact urban chapter; Ancient Amathous to the city gives the longer chronological view. The route is an orientation tool, not a claim that every stop has the same opening hours or access conditions.
