Agios Ermogenis Church & Eucalyptus Grove

Secluded stone chapel at the base of Kourion cliff nestled inside a cool, fragrant eucalyptus forest.

A refreshing green sanctuary resting beneath the sheer white bluffs of ancient Kourion, just 500 meters from the sea. The historic stone church honors Saint Hermogenes.

Surrounding the chapel is a dense, mature eucalyptus grove equipped with shaded timber picnic benches, natural springs, and soft breezes from the adjacent coast.

Tips before you go

  • Perfect shaded spot to enjoy lunch after touring Kourion amphitheatre.
  • The deep eucalyptus canopy keeps this pocket noticeably cooler than the beach.
  • Kourion beach is just a 5-minute walk down the lane.

How to get there

Turn left at the foot of Kourion cliff road just before reaching Kourion Beach.
