      Limassol is the second largest town in Cyprus after Nicosia, with a population of approximately 200 000. Apart from being a major tourist destination, it is also a principal hub for international business in Cyprus. This gives Limassol a more cosmopolitan feel compared to other district centers. Recent renovation projects in the old town and old port area are seeking to rejuvenate the historic center, making it more accessible and interesting for sightseeing.
    • filter_dramaGet in
      • By plane

        Limassol is about a 40 minutes drive from both Larnaca and Paphos international airports. Larnaca mainly serves traditional scheduled airlines, whilst all of RyanAir's flights land in Paphos. There is a regular shuttle bus service from Larnaca and Paphos airports [http://www.airportshuttlebus.eu/]. As of Aug 2013, the shuttle bus has a stop opposite the Grand Resort Hotel in Limassol's tourist area, which is also serviced by Bus #30 that goes around the sea road, thus allowing for easy transfer to hotels. The other stop at Ag. Georgios is located a long distance away from hotels and central intra-town bus routes.

      • By boat

        Limassol is home to Cyprus' largest commercial shipment port and a reasonable passenger port, with several regular cruise routes:

        * Louis Cruise Lines [url=http://www.louiscruises.com]]from [[Agios Nikolaos[/url]] (Kriti), [wiki=8567d06b436c06938d4d20225c9ea85c]Beirut[/wiki], [wiki=874df54deb4579be3c47e9d2af8ba4de]Haifa[/wiki], [wiki=e80e55851bbe6a8be9a4fc614bd5afba]Port Said[/wiki] and [wiki=b4f735444a905409b1a249de26b9ac7f]Rodos[/wiki].

        * St. Raphael Marina [url=http://www.raphael.com.cy]]St. Raphael Marina on the outskirts of Limassol.

      • By bus

        There are special Green Buses which operate intercity. Buses are available for Troodos, Larnaca, Pafos and Nicosia. It is best to confirm timings from the closest CTO Tourist Information Center.

    • filter_dramaGet around
      The three main roads are:
      #The Beach Road
      #Makarios Avenue
      #Griva Digeni (which transforms into Kolonakou / Spyros Kyprianou later to the east)
      • By bus

        The bus service has recently been upgraded, with more routes and better schedules, however waiting times may still be singificant. The principal tourist route is #30, serving the beach road from Le Meridien hotel to My Mall, and runs approximately every 15 minutes. You can find detailed information and maps on the EMEL bus company [http://www.limassolbuses.com/en/] website. Cost per trip is 1 Euro.

      • By taxi

        Taxis are the most popular means of transportation for tourists, but are expensive and drivers commonly ignore the meter charge. Of late, shared taxis are popular, and may result in a more reasonable fare.

      • By bicycle

        The beach road has a dedicated bicycle lane stretching from the Old Port to Dasoudi area. Keep in mind that in summer it gets very hot.

      • Transport Rental

        Cars, scooters and bicycles can be hired easily, however be cautious that locals have a relaxed approach to the Highway Code and road safety.

      * Governor's Beach (outside Limassol), long sandy beach with many beach-side fish restaurants, and a beautiful white stone coast to the west.
      * Lady's Mile Beach (outside Limassol), long mostly-pebbly, partly sandy beach with several beach-side fish restaurants. Try watching birds at the salt lake nearby. Note that there is a military air base in the area.
    • filter_dramaDo
      Relax on one of the many beaches.
      * Take a stroll on the seafront Akti Olympion in the evening.
      * Take a walk on the wooden promenade along the sea opposite the archeological site of Kingdom of Amathus.
      * Take a walk along a Eucalyptos tree park or enjoy the beach at Dasoudi.
      * Visit the Limassol Wine Festival, every September.
      * Party during the Limassol Carnival, every February/March. Truly Colorful!
      * Escape the summer heat and visit one of the many Troodos villages.
      * Watch the Cyprus Rally every Autumn.
      * Get drunk at the Potamos Yermasoyias (aka "Galatex") which has plenty of entertainment in the pubs, night clubs and cafes on the street and in the surrounding area (dying out as of May 2013).
      * Visit one of the traditional buzukia (tavern with live music).
      * Explore the Limassol Castle and nearby Old Town area.
      * Visit Anexartisias street in the Old Town, a popular shopping area for both tourists and locals.
      * Drive down to the Kourion (15 km) area offers sites of historic importance, namely The House of Achilles, and The Altar of Appollo and spectacular views of the Curium Beach.
      * The Municipal Garden along the beach road is a good place to spend some time and catch some interesting flora. However the zoo is not that great.
      • Sport

        For a taste of local sport, visit the home games of the local clubs: AEL, Apollonas and Aris. All three compete in the first division of the Cyprus Soccer and Basketball leagues. Recently Apollonas' football and AEL's basketball teams have enjoyed considerable success in European competitions. So you never know, you might be lucky and catch a Manchester United visit. Expect double a figure score in such a case. Tickets are relatively cheap when compared to European leagues where on average a full price ticket costs less than €20. However football hooliganism is a problem as of late, so take care.

        An annual marathon event takes place every February, the Limassol Marathon GSO [http://limassolmarathon.com]. Limassol Marathon GSO is expanding into a big athletic celebration where Marathon runners from all over the world will meet to compete and at the same time enjoy a memorable experience race.

      The traditional shopping streets are Ayios Andreas and Anexartisias street. These streets provide an ambiance of the old cobbled path lanes, away from the modern city.

      * Several western style supermarkets ( Carrefour, Debenhams, LIDL, Orphanidies etc) are spread across the city and warehouse-style shopping centres have mushroomed on the outskirts of the city.

      * My Mall is the biggest mall-type shopping center in the district, located to the west of New Port. Reachable by bus #30.

      *Sea Sponges is popular product of Cyprus, used as a bath/face scrub. Loofa is used as a bath scrub. Available at most tourist/souvenir shops. Also there is a Sea Sponges Exhibition at the roundabout at the Old Port. However, sea sponges may be pricey!

      *The Lefkara Lace and other lace products may be brought from Limassol or any other city than Lefkara itself, as they may be often over priced in Lefkara, due to a large number of tourists flocking there, especially during the tourist season.

      *Opening hours for most shops are M-F 9AM-1PM / 3PM-7PM (siesta time in between, outside of the tourist area most smaller shops are not open on Wednesday afternoons) and Saturdays 9AM-2PM. Only some convenience stores (Periptero in Greek) would be open 24 hours on all days.
    • filter_dramaEat
      Kebab can be optimum for a relatively cheap, fresh and filling meal. Be careful with colourful "tourist" cafes since those are often over-priced and offer low quality conventional sandwiches or English Breakfasts. Mousaka or Kleftiko are popular, however your best bet (especially if you are hungry), is a traditional Cyprus Meze (either of the meat or fish variety), which usually includes a myriad of small hot and cold dishes for a reasonable price.

      Try targeting restaurants that cater for the locals. You should not encounter a client/waiter language barrier as virtually everyone speaks English.

      All major western chains are present, e.g. McDonald's, KFC, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Friday's, Bennigan's, Goodies, Nandos et al.

      Drinking water: It is generally safe to drink water directly from the tap. Most apartments/hotels would have a separate tap provided along with the sink, for water that bypasses the storage tank on the roof.

      Limassol has the reputation amongst locals of being the party capital of Cyprus. When [wiki=e40eface356f187c4507b75dc9f48712]Ayia Napa[/wiki] hibernates in the winter, Limassol powers on drawing much of the local clientele especially during the carnival season.

      The Potamos Yermasoyia tourist area is littered with countless bars and pubs to cater for everyone's tastes and budget. The old medieval town centre is more popular with the locals and offers classier but pricier establishments. Most hotels will also have a variety of in house bars (either with a local or international twist), which are open to non residents too.

      Sport is religion here and sports bars abound. Football is in your face everywhere, especially the British and Greek leagues. Being here during a European or World cup competition finals stage is only next best to attending the real thing.

      Zivania is the equivalent local version of Grappa or Eau de Vie. Drink frozen zivania shots at your peril.

      Commandaria is a sweet dessert wine and a speciality of Limassol is worth tasting especially after a meze.

      Apart from local luxury and boutique hotels Limassol boasts many branches of international hotels. However one can easily find low budget accommodation. An increasingly popular option is private apartment and villa rental.
      • Budget

        As far as renting a Studio Apartment (with cooking facilities) goes, there are plenty of them around, and one may find accommodation easily, both long term and short term.
