Worth seeing in Limassol
Limassol has so much to offer the visitor, it's often difficult to find the most exciting things to do, the prettiest villages to explore or the best food to eat until your holiday is almost over. And usually you find the best things to see on your last day :-)
Limassol is a year-round holiday destination for couples, families and young singles. Lemesos is one of Cyprus’ liveliest cities, boasting a charming old town, a palm-fringed promenade.
So to get you going here are a few pointers:
- Limassol Old Town: recently renovated, especially around the Limassol Castle area.
- Limassol Castle
- Akti Olympion, a 7-km beach-side walking park area stretching from Municipal Gardens to the Old Port.
- The ancient city of Amathus
- The ancient city of Kourion (outside Limassol)
- Kolossi Castle (outside Limassol)
- Governor's Beach (outside Limassol), long sandy beach with many beach-side fish restaurants, and a beautiful white stone coast to the west.
- Lady's Mile Beach (outside Limassol), long mostly-pebbly, partly sandy beach with several beach-side fish restaurants. Try watching birds at the salt lake nearby. Note that there is a military air base in the area.
