📷 Episkopi

Episkopi is a historic village in Cyprus, located in the Limassol District near the ancient city-kingdom of Kourion. It sits partly within the British Sovereign Base Area of Akrotiri and Dhekelia and is known for its archaeological significance, fertile plains, and proximity to notable sites like the Sanctuary of Apollo and beautiful beaches along Kourion Bay. The name derives from its medieval role as a bishop’s seat (“episkopos”), blending layers of ancient, Frankish, Venetian, and modern history in a scenic coastal setting.
