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.
