Description

In the foreground, fragments of worked stone, a standing column drum and a squared stone block sit among low walls and grass. Beyond, a path and orchard trees descend a slope toward a long pale beach and a glittering sea under a hazy sky. Flat coastal land stretches to the left.

English

View from the Kourion theatre across a wooded slope and scattered stone ruins towards a curving sandy coast and a bright sea. A stone column and a masonry block stand in the foreground on the left.
