A true “taste” of history

Just to the West of Limassol, lies the truly ancient fortress known as Kolossi Castle.
 
Most widely known for being the location where Richard the Lionhearted married Berengaria of Navarre, it is also known as the site where the local wine Commandaria has been produced for nearly 10,000 years. Raising a glass of this historic wine under a warm sky whilst imagining what life must have been like back then is definitely an experience not to be missed. 

 

 

Obviously olives

Ok, we promise this article isn’t all about food, but you can’t say you have truly explored Cyprus until you have sampled the local dietary staple that firmly put this island on the map. 

Oleastro Olive Park and Museum takes you on a journey from seed to bottle, explaining everything in between and how olives pressed only from the koroneiki cultivar taste like no other.

A short distance from Limassol you can find the foothills of the Troodos mountains. Explore ancient forests and stumble across historic stone ruins and quaint villages such as those found in Krassochoria, with hillside vineyards providing a backdrop no postcard can match.

 

Love on the Rocks

Aphrodite's Rock (Petra tou Romiou), can be found a short journey West outside of Limassol and is easily one of the most photographed beaches in Cyprus, especially during sunset. 
A source of inspiration for writers, poets and artists, there is no better place to lay down a blanket and sip some Commanderia wine. 

















 

Hilltop Hiking

Tucked in atop the Troodos Mountains is the nature reserve area known as Platres. With gorgeous greenery and sparkling waterfalls, it’s one of the best places to stretch your legs and immerse yourself in nature. Especially when sea level temperatures become a bit overbearing.




 

Slides and suntans 

What would a top 10 be without something for the kids (and perhaps the child in all of us). Fasouri Watermania park is just outside Limassol and has been voted amongst the top 25 water parks in the world. Just remember to pack your swimwear!

 

A giant of nature 

Perhaps more for the outdoor adventurers, but situated in Lania just 20 minutes from Limassol is a bit of an alternative tourist site. Here you will find a giant oak tree over 800 years old and with a trunk over 8 metres around. Its huge canopy casts enough shade to sit and admire this natural relic and have an unforgettable picnic.

There is hardly a better place to people-watch or wander for what seems like endless winding paths than the Limassol promenade. Host to around 20 sculptures from local artists, and dotted with cafe’s and entertainment areas, its the ideal spot to spend an evening walking off that Meze platter. 











 

Holy Art

Scattered amongst the Troodos Mountains there are ten small, yet stunning churches adorned with some of the most beautiful religious art you will ever lay eyes upon. Registered as heritage sites by UNESCO, it can take a few days to view them all, mostly because you will struggle to leave each one after entering. 



 

A purrrrfect experience

At the Southern tip of the Akrotiri Peninsula, you will find the Holy Monastary of St Nicolas of the Cats. Home to dozens of feline friends, you can also purchase a tasty assortment of honey and jams from the local nuns. 

With all of this and so much more to explore, it’s no wonder more and more people are looking to rent property in Cyprus and look to call the metropolitan city of Limassol their home.
