Limassol in Cyprus was one of the first purpose built beach holiday resorts in the Mediterranean. Up until that time there was no such thing as a beach resort holiday. With more top notch hotels and apartment complexes than you can shake a stick at there is no shortage of quality accommodation either. However there is a whole lot more to the town of Limassol than its role as a great Cyprus holiday resort.
When Turkey invaded Northern Cyprus in 1974 they pushed all the way down into Famagusta town and its fabulous holiday resort. The residents were driven out and fled with only what they were able to carry. Apart from being arguably the best resort in the Mediterranean Famagusta was also the main port. For this reason the port at Limassol was hurriedly created and the town has been a booming metropolitan area ever since.
Apart from the port being the main thoroughfare for most of the Islands imported goods it’s also the debarkation point for luxury cruises to Egypt and the Holy land. These 2 and 4 day mini cruises are a great idea if you want to add some extra sightseeing into your Cyprus holiday. Limassol port also plays host to many of the Cyprus navy's ships and is a popular destination for navy sailors on shore leave.

There is no doubt that Limassol has something to offer Cyprus holidaymakers whatever they are looking for. If you want night life there is more than enough to go round on the resort with plenty of late night clubs and lively bars. This doesn't mean that Limassol isn't a great resort for families too. There are miles of sandy beach, water sports and lots of pretty sea front cafe bars where you can relax and take in the beautiful Mediterranean view. With several water parks in the area as well the kids are never going to get bored. Talking about the youngsters, Limassol has its share of fast food outlets too like MacDonald’s and K.F.C. so they are going to be real easy to please in the stomach department at least.

If for some bizarre reason you do actually manage to run out of things to do in Limassol the good news is that the town is well connected to the rest of the Island. A modern coastal motorway network links the resort to everywhere and anywhere you may feel a need to explore.
The capital of Cyprus Nicosia is less than an hour away with its many historic sites and museums making the town a great place for a day out. On a more somber note, Nicosia is the last dived city in the world since the Turkish occupation of the North. There are several places where streets have been literally cut off by the 3 kilometer buffer zone and visitors can look over the border into the Turkish side. This area is policed by troops of the U.N. peacekeeping force and everything in the buffer zone remains just has it was left in 1974 when the residents fled to the south.
Limassol is also perfectly placed for trips to the beautiful Troodas Mountains an area of outstanding natural beauty. Up in the mountains the air is fresh and clean whilst it’s also a great escape from the hot summers too. Much of this area is now a conservation area and there are several beautiful monasteries to visit too.
