Limassol flights and travel guide

Richard the Lionheart once traveled to Limassol to rescue his betrothed, but you’ll be glad you can board Cyprus flights when you arrive in the midst of Limassol’s jovial atmosphere and nightlife. The center of the country’s wine production, Limassol is the life of the Cyprus party. The city is focused on development and modernization and has several excellent hotels that provide a great starting point to dance the night away. For something more relaxed, head out for a country stroll in the foothills of the Trodos Mountains just north of the city. Or unwind on the beach after your flight to Cyprus. Guests can visit for free, but visitors are charged admission. The public beach, Avmidou, is located on British military base Akrotiri.

Depending on when you book your Limassol flight, you may be able to catch the Cyprus Rally, an annual display of the fastest motor sports. If you’d rather participate than watch, explore the many hiking and cycling trails throughout the island, but be sure to go early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid the sizzling heat.

Don’t be surprised if you see locals splashing each other with water – it symbolizes the honor of the Greek goddess Athena.
