There are many
beaches in Limassol, such as Ladies Mile
situated west of the new harbour. There is a
vast array of accommodation along the sea
front, ranging from: the most luxurious
hotels to the more humble apartments, all
offering a good standard of accommodation
depending on what you want.
In amongst these you will find many bars,
restaurants and clubs. Limassol also boasts
water parks, a long tourist strip, the old
town centre and possibly the largest
McDonalds in Cyprus, with a large children's
area featuring play equipment. Limassol has
a bright and lively night life, along with
some of the best festivals on the Island:
the wine festival in September with wineries
all offering free samples of their wines,
this goes on for ten days: the pre-Lenten
Carnival with spectacular balls and parties:
the Limassol Festival in the summer and the
ancient Drama Festival at Kourion.
Shopping in Limassol offers a choice of
modern boutiques and showrooms, and the more
traditional shops selling handmade goods.
You will also find shops which will make
clothes and shoes to measure in just a
couple of days, particularly handy if you
find it difficult getting shoes and clothes
to fit. Some of the streets offer some
amazing views, with over hanging buildings,
small shops with lots inside and with these
streets being very narrow it always seems
buzzing with people. |
