Limassol (Lemesos): A starting point

Cyprus, Europe’s Eastern Mediterranean isle, lies at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa.  In addition to its privileged geographical position, Cyprus is a country strong in tradition and rich in culture.

Located on the southern coast of the island, Limassol (Lemesos), is geographically the largest city in Cyprus and the second largest in population after Nicosia (Lefkosia).  Its central position offers easy access to all major cities as well as Troodos Mountains within 35 to 45 minute drive.  It is also conveniently situated only 35 minutes away from both Larnaca (Larnaka) and Paphos (Pafos) airports.

It is a fascinating area with a diversified character  which caters to a variety of tastes and preferences:  A sunlovers haven with its 16 kilometers of sandy beaches, this cosmopolitan destination also boats high quality accommodation options, countless activities and a wide-array of vibrant events and festivals throughout the year.  In the midst of its lively nightlife and entertainment, one can still appreciate the cultural aspect with visits to archaeological sites and colourful wine villages.
