About
Limassol
The sun, sea and sand aspect of Limassol has long attracted visitors from all over the globe to this sunny resort, but there are many more valuable attractions awaiting visitors of this town. Being the second largest town on the island, and largest sea-side resort consisting of a population of nearly 180,000 people, Limassol has so much to offer visitors as an all year round destination.
The city stretches between two of the most spectacular archaeological sites in Cyprus which are built on cliff tops offering spectacular views over the sea – the ancient city-kingdoms of Amathous to the east and Kourion to the west. Excavations from these sites have been held in such high accord that they are exhibited in museums such as the Louvre Museum in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Limassol is also situated in an ideal location between the two international airports of the island. Larnaca airport is approximately half an hour from the hotel while transfer time from Pafos airport is approximately 45 minutes. Flights into either of these airports from many destinations are easily attained and having the choice of both arrival airports makes it easier to find a flight that suits you.
