Finibus bonorum malorum
The people of Lemesos have a fun-loving reputation and are very proud to host and stage some of the island’s best known festivals, such as the annual Wine Festival in September, when various wineries offer free samples of their produce and the Carnival in February with the grand fancy dress chariot parade and masquerade parties. Not surprisingly the nightlife is varied with all sorts of taverns, clubs and discos. During the summer enjoy a concert under the stars in the Greco-Roman theatre of Kourion.
