Limassol Holidays - Cheap Package Holiday Deals to Limassol

Centre of Cyprus nightlife and joie de vivre

With its many excellent hotels and convenient location, Limassol is good base for visitors wanting to head for the hills after whooping it up under the city’s bright lights.

Limassol’s reputation as a centre of nightlife and joie de vivre dates goes back a long way: during the Crusades, Richard the Lionheart rescued his betrothed from the Byzantine sovereign and then married her, throwing a party that remains legendary today. That Limassol is the centre of winemaking on Cyprus is no doubt also a factor contributing to the city’s lively holiday ambience!

North of Limassol lie the foothills of the Troodos mountains, where holiday-makers can wander through friendly villages and charming countryside. Most of the beaches on the city outskirts belong to hotels, which charge an entrance fee for non-guests, but the sandy beach of Avmidou, within the grounds of the British military base of Akrotiri, is open to the public.

Unlike other cities in Cyprus, Limassol has not protected its architectural or cultural heritage, concentrating its efforts in recent years on modernisation of its buildings and mercantile development.
