3 top beach destinations in Limassol
A coastal city, Limassol is filled with beach adventures. From the shallow waters of Lady’s Mile to the sandy shores of Governor’s beach, the Limassol region offers a large number of great spots with facilities and watersports. Let’s dive into our top three beaches in Limassol you should put on your destination list this summer.
Agios Tychonas Community Beach
The perfect place for the entire family, Agios Tychonas Community Beach is a seaside destination worth the visit. The beach is located on the shore of the Agios Tychonas area within Limassol and it is easily accessible from the seafront.
The pedestrian path attached to the seaside connects the beach with all the other beaches, making it convenient for switching locations at any point during your day.
At the entrance to the beach, you’ll find a park and playground for your little ones. Moreover, the beach offers services for people with mobility difficulties, making this location a beach for everyone. This and the services for bathers come to a great day at the beach with the family.
Kalymnos Beach
Like most places in Cyprus, Kalymnos Beach (Governor’s Beach) has an interesting history behind its name and popularity. In the old days, divers would come to the beach from the Kalymnos island, hence the name ‘Kalymnos Beach’, to seek sponges that were plentiful in the area. Much later, during the British colonization of Cyprus, the beach was renamed ‘Governor’s Beach’.
Today the name is interchangeable, however, what remains the same is the exceptional beauty of the beach and its crystal-clear waters. The smooth white rocks surrounding the shore, create a spectacular backdrop for all visitors to gaze upon. The sunbeds and services offered a short distance away make it one of the best beach locations on the island and a worth visiting destination.
The Royal Apollonia Beach
Although many beaches in Limassol are characterized by clean and calm waters, The Royal Apollonia has been a beloved swimming spot for decades.
The beach itself is more like a small bay. It connects to the corresponding beaches via the pedestrian beach path we mentioned earlier. The beach is easily accessible from The Royal Apollonia hotel.
When you arrive at the beach you are immediately greeted by a stunning yellowish rock path and surrounding area – a modern take on a hotel beach. Towards the eastern side of the bay, some trees serve as a shady area for those who may not want to sunbathe on the sunbeds, while the water sports on the western side are a great option for thrill-seekers and those who want to spice up their day with some activity. The stunning ocean horizon and beach view, make it a location in which you can spend your entire day, and evening too!
Be sure to book your stay at The Royal Apollonia, the perfect place for getting to all the seaside spots in Limassol conveniently, as well as staying just meters away from the beautiful Royal Apollonia bay.
