Limassol serves as a link between Ayia Napa's vibrant nightlife and Paphos' tranquility. On the south coast of Cyprus, you'll find sandy beaches like Pissouri, archaeological attractions like Kourion, and the bizarre Cyprus Motor Museum. Limassol is one of Cyprus's lesser-known cities, yet locals flock here for its stunning beaches, historic history, and traditional cuisine. Aside from being a refuge for sunbathers, there are lots of bright bars to keep partygoers happy, as well as kid-friendly attractions such as the water park and the seaside zoo. Here are some of our suggestions for things to do in Limassol.
The white sand and pebbly stretch of Pissouri is the place to go if you're searching for a postcard-perfect beach. It features turquoise seas bookended by rugged cliffs that function as a wind barrier, meaning you'll find tranquil waters, perfect for swimming, on the outskirts of the tiny Pissouri hamlet. When you've had your fill of sunbathing, tour the village's quaint tavernas, coffee shops, chapels, and gothic church. Limassol, which is broadly divided into two areas, is best explored on foot. The ancient and newly rebuilt Old City includes both the old Turkish Quarter and the Old Harbour, while the more commercial Potamos Germasogeias is a major tourist destination with hotels, pubs, and clubs abounding, about 3 kilometers east of the Old City.
Cyprus is a mixing pot of cultures that is geographically located in Asia but has clear ties to Europe. With its Mediterranean good looks, the island of Cyprus is the fourth popular destination to visit in the world. Sun-soaked beaches await you to discover them in an island of unremarkable beauty, culture, and history. Cyprus is a truly irresistible destination with electable cuisines, pristine beaches, sunny weather, and wonderful historic sights.
