Why Limassol matters
Limassol is the lively port city of the south coast. A long seafront promenade runs past hotels and cafes, a modern marina has restaurants and boats, and the old town has a medieval castle and small lanes. It is a good base for the south-west coast, the Troodos foothills and wine villages. It feels busy and modern, but with a nice old core.
Talking points
- The old town and castle sit close to the harbour.
- The seafront promenade is a favourite evening walk.
- It is a gateway to Kourion and the wine villages.
