8 Reasons Limassol is the Holiday Destination for you

Limassol is the pride and joy of Cyprus as the city combines the old and new, culture and history with luxury modern amenities and fine beaches! We have put together 8 of the most impressive sights and landmarks every tourist must visit when in Limassol!

Amathus is known worldwide as one of the largest and oldest city-kingdoms on the island. In the past, Amathus was a thriving city that goes back 3000 years. One of the most impressive ruins is the Temple of Aphrodite which lies on the peak of a hill overlooking the infinite blue sea.

A great way to gain insight into Limassol’s turbulent and thrilling past. The Archaeological Museum is home to a fascinating collection of artefacts found in Limassol, Kourion and Amathus dating back from the Neolithic Age to the Roman Era.

Strolling through Limassol’s coastal Promenade is a unique way of getting a taste of the city’s true identity. In the past, the Promenade was the social spot of the town, where locals used to dress up and take an afternoon walk meeting friends. On the one side of the paved-road one can enjoy the splendid views of the sea while the other side is dotted with pubs, souvenir shops and trendy boutiques.

Odos Anexartisias runs parallel to the Promenade. The busy road is a shopper’s paradise, where tourists find Cypriot handicraft workshops and shops, fashionable boutiques and more. This is the ideal spot to buy souvenirs to take back home, especially locally produced goods like jewellery, pottery and other handcrafted products.

A paradise-looking Municipal Garden within the lively city is exactly what you need. Take a walk through the multicoloured garden covered with flowers and palm trees and visit its unique little zoo, home to many exotic animals. This is a great way to get a breather from the city and enjoy a walk or even a picnic amid nature.

The Municipal Limassol Market is a thrilling and unique experience for all enthusiastic tourists! Take a stroll through a manifold of colourful stalls selling fresh veggies and fruit, clothing, meat and fish and traditional products. The market is held in a massive stone-built building located in the Old Town of Limassol. The quaint building was initially constructed in 1917.

Cyprus has been blessed with the most stunning coastline in the world. Take your pick! One of our favourites is Lady’s Mile where the gentle humming-sound of the waves and breathtaking views of the shimmering blue waters that stretch as far as the eyes can see will surely impress you!

Limassol’s annual Wine Festival celebrates wine and the god of wine, Dionysos! During the festival, folklore music is played, dances are performed, local food is served, and wine keeps on flowing! Witness how the island’s ancestors used to produce wine back in the day by dancing on vine grapes!

As for your hospitality, the Royal Apollonia has you covered!
