Details About Limassol

Destinations » Mediterranean » Mediterranean - Western » Limassol


Cyprus is the third largest island in the Mediterranean. The southern central coast is home to the port city of Limassol. The city is a convenient starting point from which to explore the island's ancient ruins and lush scenic highlights, including miles of olive, orange and lemon groves, cherry orchards and vineyards that cling to the island's craggy slopes. Wooded mountains create a stunning backdrop to the stretches of picture-perfect beaches rimming the coastline.
