Lively Limassol
The phrase ‘an oldie but a goodie’ sums up Limassol perfectly.

Limassol is Cyprus’ second-largest city and is situated on the enticing southeastern coast of Akrotiri Bay. Limassol’s main street runs through the entire city, and is bustling with cafés, shops and restaurants. TheOld City retains much of its stylish character, built on the Old Fishing Harbour and offering a glimpse back in time. Far more contemporary is Limassol’s vibrant nightlife, with cabarets, discos and bars pulsating happily away. So while it may date back further than anyone can remember, Limassol sure parties like it’s 1999…
