Celebrating Apollo Hylates, God of the Woodland and protector of Ancient Kourion, this temple ruin dates from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD.

 Excavations have revealed other structures that once stood on the site, including a bath complex, pilgrim hall, and holy precinct. 

Today though, the triumphant pillars of the lonely main sanctuary building are the only well-preserved portion of what must have been a rather impressive religious compound.
