Heartland of Cyprus
The city of Limassol, second largest in Cyprus, presents a fascinating mix of cultures.
The cruise liners and the ferries dock at Limassol port, because the city is conveniently placed between the East and West coastlines, offering central access to all the South Cyprus beaches.
For the more adventurous, Tramp Steamers visit from many European ports. A passenger cabin on one of the tramps is a great value way to travel, and colossal fun for the traveller with time to spare.
Ruggedly industrial around the harbour areas, Limassol reminds the visitor that Cyprus is more than a playground – although ironically, this port city offers loads of tourist attractions at seasons when the beach resorts are shut.

This ancient port is famous for cultural riches such as the atmospheric Mediaeval Museum within Limassol Castle (where Richard the Lionheart was married). The museum houses Lusignan armour and ancient treasure trove.
At the other end of the Seafront Promenade you’ll find the pre-Christian Amathus Ruins – which today plays host to dance, music, and theatre events.

Another cultural attraction is open-air ballet at the Municipal Gardens’ intimate theatre.

The Gardens are also the venue for the Wine Festival which is held each July, and the August Beer Festival takes place at the Sculpture Park further along the Promenade.
The Ancient Curium near Limassol Cyprus
The ancient Curium, which is on the road out to Paphos, features a spectacular Roman amphitheatre, still in use today as a concert venue.
There are several rather more down to earth museums worth exploring, such as the Wine Museum, The Folkloric Exhibition, The House of the Olive.
On your walk to the Old Port, you can call in at the Roundabout to see how sponges are harvested from the sea or how loofahs get made.
There are 5 beaches, each with its own distinctive character, and all the amenities and amusements of city life.
Although the city has hundreds of hotels to suit all budgets, it’s here that Luxury Hotels vie with each other to create memories.
The Four Seasons boasts double Jacuzzis even in its lowest priced rooms and the Amathus Beach has to be seen to be believed. Better yet, you can enjoy these ultra luxurious hotels on Super Value Deals.
And of course there are lots of pubs, clubs, restaurants and dance spots.
