Holiday information on Limasol, Cyprus
For those who want to shop - and those who want to explore - the main seaport of Limassol offers lots of opportunities.
Limassol's history stretches into the ancient and Roman past and there are a couple of museums in town and impressive ruins to see at Amathus and Curium located 19km to the west. Be amazed at Curium's ancient mosaics or tickle your taste buds on a wine factory tour in Kolossi.
Limassol is Cyprus's largest seaside resort, and consequently has plenty to offer its visitors. It has its own Medieval castle next to the old port which is now a museum. The majority of our accommodation is in the modern Yermasoyia tourist area which has a wide selection of restaurants, bars and clubs. Understandably, Limassol attracts a wide and mixed clientele, including families, couples and young singles.
The numerous beaches consist of dark shingle and include the award-winning Armonia, Governor's, Ladies Mile, and Curium beaches.
The best deals to be had are in the old area of town, where you'll find an abundance of jewellery and leather shops. There is also a market place in the Old Town, with a superb selection of vegetables and fish.
Limassol has a penchant for live music - with the best bands to be heard in the Potamos Yermasoyias area. There are plenty of discos, bars and tavernas all over Limassol.
