MORE ABOUT LIMASSOL:
Limassol (also known as Lemesos) is a shoreline city that sweeps along a broad stretch of beach. This is the cosmopolitan hub of Cyprus, effortlessly blending sophisticated modernization with its ancient past.
Perfectly placed to explore the beaches of the Akrotiri Peninsula, as well as the drop-dead gorgeous mountain villages that tumble down the lower slopes of the Mandaria region and snuggle within the Troodos Massif (Troodos Mountains) and Ancient Kourion (Cyprus' number one archaeological site), Limassol is a great base for travelers who want to temper the sandy beach-bum fun with swags of culture.
Ancient Kourion
One of Cyprus' most spectacular archaeological sites, the ancient city-kingdom of Kourion (sometimes spelt Curium) rates towards the top on most visitors' things to do itineraries. Kourion has been settled since the Neolithic age, though the grand monuments on show all date from its Greco-Roman period.
Limassol Old Town
Limassol's lively old town district is the most interesting part of the city to explore. Right in the center, on the main square, the top tourist attraction is Limassol Castle, built in the 14th century on the site of earlier Byzantine construction. Some of the earlier fortifications can be seen just inside the walls.
Kolossi Castle
Probably the dinkiest castle you're ever going to see, Kolossi Castle was built in AD 1210 by the Knights of St. John. It's one of the best places to visit on the road between Limassol and Ancient Kourion. It is a fine example of military architecture and served as the Grand Command center of Jerusalem's Order of St. John until being taken over by the Order of the Knights Templar in the 14th century.
