Limassol: Seaside Promenades & Cyprus Sun

Limassol is one of those Mediterranean cities where business and beach life blend effortlessly. The best way to enjoy it is to plan slow mornings by the sea and leave your afternoons open for exploring.

Walk the Molos Promenade from the marina to the old port - it’s the city’s social heart. If you’re driving, rent a car for a day trip to Kourion ruins or the Troodos Mountains for wine tastings and mountain villages. Tap water is safe, but sunscreen is essential - Cyprus sun is strong even in spring.

For authentic food, skip the waterfront tourist spots and look for small meze taverns in the backstreets. English is widely spoken, and most places take cards, but keeping some euros in cash helps in smaller cafes. The vibe is relaxed, the sea is warm from May to October, and sunsets over the marina are worth staying out for.
