Tall masts and sleek hulls stand shoulder-to-shoulder in Limassol’s gleaming marina, gateway to soul-stirring beaches, Greek and Roman archaeological sites and traditional wine-making in the foothills of the Troodos Mountains. Tread upon ancient footsteps in atmospheric Old Town, where a warren of cobbled streets leads to the medieval walls of Limassol Castle and timeless tavernas tempt with tantalising dishes. Tiptoe beside intricate tile mosaics amongst hillside villas and architectural ruins in nearby Kourion. Beyond the city limits, olive groves and citrus farms dot the lush landscape, which rises skyward to wine-tasting in the vineyards of Omodos and off-road pine forest adventures.
