Limassol Flights and Travel Guide

Limassol is more than just the second largest town in Cyprus – it’s also the center of Cyprus’ jovial and entertaining nightlife. It helps that Limassol is also the winemaking mecca of Cyprus, so tourists making the trip to Limassol can literally wet their palette with the fruit of the vines before hitting the town. Limassol is still relatively untouched by tourism so the city maintains its Cypriote roots and offers a unique experience for travelers vacationing in Limassol.

Like most Cyprus cities, tourists book Larnaca flights to Limassol and immediately find themselves immersed in the Euro-Asian culture that sweeps through the city. From outdoor restaurants to wine and beer cellars, Limassol offers a unique blend of old and new. While maintaining its old-world heritage, the city has also spent years rebuilding and modernizing its city center. If you’re looking to travel to Cyprus in August, journey to Limassol and partake in the city’s famous wine festivals.
