Where to stay in Limassol — pick the right hotel, book in 3 clicks
Limassol is Cyprus's largest port city and the island's second city after Nicosia — a medieval castle where Richard the Lionheart is said to have married, a cobbled Old Town made for wandering, the long palm-lined Molos seafront, a glossy marina lined with superyachts, and the Commandaria wine route, home to one of the world's oldest continuously produced wines. The sun shines almost year-round and both Larnaca and Paphos airports are an easy transfer away.
Why stay in Limassol
Deep history
The medieval Limassol Castle plus the ancient cities of Kourion and Amathus flanking the town — Greco-Roman ruins to explore all day.
Cyprus's wine capital
A wine route through the hill villages of Omodos and the Commandaria region, capped by the Limassol Wine Festival each late September.
A glamorous marina
Limassol Marina berths up to 650 yachts and is lined with fine restaurants, boutiques and a stylish waterfront promenade.
Sun almost year-round
Cyprus enjoys 300-plus sunny days a year, so swimming, sunbathing and seafront strolls work in almost any season.
