Itinerary

1. Hello! I’m Ioannis, but you can call me John. As a passionate, young architect born and raised in Limassol, I’m excited to be your guide on a journey through the heart of Cyprus' most captivating city. Limassol isn’t just another city-it’s a living canvas of history, culture, and modernity. As the island’s second-largest city and main sea gate, it’s a place where the timeless and contemporary coalesce in spectacular ways. From the multicultural charm of its historic core to the dynamic business hub and breathtaking seafront, every corner has a story to tell. At the begining of the tour after our introduction we will have a brief "history lesson" in order to have a background about our tour!!!

About Limassol

Limassol is Cyprus's second city and main port, with a medieval castle, a long seafront, wine villages in the hills and Roman ruins close by.

Limassol sits on the south coast of Cyprus, a port city with a modern waterfront of towers and marinas beside an old town of narrow lanes. The medieval castle near the old harbour is traditionally linked with the wedding of Richard the Lionheart and Berengaria of Navarre in 1191. The Molos promenade runs for kilometres along the shore through gardens, and the central market sells fruit, fish and spices.
