Limassol

Marina glamour, ancient theatres & wine country

Cosmopolitan Limassol mixes a sleek marina and buzzing seafront with serious history — the clifftop theatre at Kourion and the medieval Kolossi Castle — plus the wine villages climbing into the hills. It’s the island’s party-and-gastronomy capital, and the launch pad for the Commandaria wine route.
