introduction
limassol is an interesting place to visit. It is located in the republic of Cyprus and it is arguably the best coastal area in Europe. Well at least I think it is amongst them anyway.
getting there
After a four hour air flight from one of London's Airport's to get to one of Cyprus Arrival lounges, getting to limassol is around thirty minutes to an hour travelling time via taxi or rented car.
things to do
The coastal area spans around twelve kilometers which makes swimming and sunbathing relatively easy to find a place to sit down and enjoy the sun. Also at certain areas of the coastal area.

Advantages: Cheap to visit, very atmospheric Disadvantages: Only an hour's worth of stuff to see
The current Limassol Castle was structurally rebuilt by the Turks in the 19th Century. I visited the Castle in May 2009.
Limassol, in case you?ve never heard of it, is in southern Cyprus and is the second largest city of the island.
HOW OLD IS IT?

Why do I mention this particular marriage took place at Limassol Castle? Maybe you can check out the address of the Castle at the end of my review to see if you can guess how important this marriage was considered...
THE CASTLE/MUSEUM
The Cyprus Medieval Museum is housed inside ...
Advantages: Great base for visiting the tourist sites. Has a fantastic waterpark Disadvantages: Not really a disadvantage but more like a city in parts than an actual tourist resort
Although I'd been through Limassol the last couple of times I visited Cyprus I'd never stayed there for a holiday. I have to be honest and say that it doesn't really compare with the beauty of Paphos or Protaras but I liked it anyway. Limassol (called Lemessos by the Cypriots) is the second largest town in Cyprus so, although there are a lot of nice bars, clubs and restaurants for the tourist it is principally a big, busy town with a large fishing docks where you can board luxury liners for short breaks to Egypt, Israel, and the Lebanon at very reasonable prices.
Colin and I had decided that we would spend most of our time diving during this holiday and we intended visiting the wreck of the Zenobia which was only an hour's journey away in the town of Larnaca. Anyway, that’s another opinion.
The three of us (my mother was ...
