What to do in Limassol?
Limassol is Cyprus’s second-largest city and one of its most vibrant coastal destinations. Sitting on the island's southern shore, the city is known for its lively atmosphere, cosmopolitan charm, and rich blend of history and modernity. Once a modest fishing town, Limassol has transformed into a bustling hub of culture, gastronomy, and nightlife, all while preserving its ancient roots.
Begin your visit at Limassol Castle, where Richard the Lionheart is said to have married Berengaria of Navarre. The castle now houses the Medieval Museum, offering fascinating insight into the island's past. From there, stroll through the Old Town’s narrow streets filled with boutiques, cafés, and wine bars, or head to the Limassol Marina - a luxury development with upscale restaurants and shops overlooking the yachts.
The city offers a long stretch of coastline for beach lovers, with the popular Lady’s Mile and Dasoudi Beach being favorites for sunbathing and water sports. Not far from the city, the ancient city of Kourion boasts a stunning Greco-Roman amphitheater perched on a cliff, offering panoramic views of the sea and live performances during summer.
Limassol is also at the heart of Cyprus’s wine region. A visit to nearby villages like Omodos or Koilani offers a chance to sample local wines and enjoy traditional Cypriot hospitality. Time your trip during the annual Limassol Wine Festival in late August or early September for a festive celebration of local wine, food, and folklore. Whether you’re a history buff, beachgoer, or food lover, Limassol has something for every traveler.
