Limassol by Night
In the 12th century, Limassol was famed for Commandaria wine and the center of commerce and transportation during the medieval era (1175-1507 AD). The city is a tourist hub for those who come to experience its unique culture. Renowned for its city life, Limassol is full of bars, cafes, and restaurants that stay open until the early hours. The stretched-out seafront makes it ideal for romantic walks on the beach, while the quaint streets of the old town are perfect for a stroll after dinner or a night out.
