Things to do in  Limassol

Flanked by sandy beaches, snorkeling hotspots, and swimmable surf, historic Limassol (or Lemesos) is among Cyprus’ premier sun-soaked destinations, as well as one of the largest. Take to the water by day with swimming, boat rides, and other family-friendly water sports, before enjoying Limassol’s many waterfront bars, clubs, and restaurants after dark. Limassol is also a jumping-off point from which to explore Cyprus’ flourishing wine industry—taking a day trip to the Troodos Mountain vineyards is one of the most popular things to do, as are excursions to the nearby ancient cities Kourion and Amathus.
