What is the history of the Kourion archaeological site?

Is Kourion in Limassol?
Limassol began life as a quiet fishing village between two powerful ancient cities, Kourion and Amathus. Saracen raids destroyed these seats of power in the 7th century, leaving Limassol to prosper. It's now an important port and Cyprus's second city.
