Limassol Holidays

Limassol, in the south of the Cyprian region of Paphos, is an archetypal traditional Greek town and full of ancient romance, but it also remains a busy and lively port. It is rich in history. King Richard I of England – known as Richard the Lionheart – wed his wife, Queen Berengaria, at Limassol Castle – which is surrounded by cafes and restaurants today. With the blue-flag Dasoudi Beach and Lady’s Mile Beach (the choice of the locals) nearby, those craving sun, sea and sand will not be disappointed! There are water sports to take part in and classy restaurants and bars. Ancient ruins, such as a Roman amphitheatre, can also be explored. And the nightlife is buzzing! There are plenty of designer stores for the discerning shopper on Makarios Avenue.

For those looking for the indigenous culture, traditional religious festivals still take place and the meze restaurants are typical of Mediterranean culture. Tourists will flock to Limassol as it offers such a variety of things to see and do.

Given the location, however, there is relief from the intense heat experienced in other parts of the Mediterranean, due to the refreshing sea breezes.
