Situated on the southern coast of Cyprus, Limassol is the second-largest town on the island. It has an abundance of historical locations nearby as well as fabulous beaches including the seven-mile-long seafront plus there‘s a bustling harbour where you can relax and watch the luxury yachts pass by. The town's long promenade links the beaches and is a particularly pleasant place to enjoy a leisurely bike ride. Attractions in Limassol include the main square in the old town which is furnished with restaurants, the Cathedral which has a beautiful Baroque façade and Limassol Castle which was built by the Byzantines around 1000 AD. Sightseers will also find a trip to the ancient Kourion site very memorable. There's an amazing amphitheatre, a Roman house with baths and stunning mosaics, a reconstructed Roman theatre and more. The ruins are beautifully preserved and the coastal backdrop just adds to the magic of this special place.
