limassol

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: none

.../spray along with water, beer. Along the tourist area of Germasogeia and the Amathous regions of limassol, there are loads of Restaurant's and bars, Coffee shops where people can spend a day, and evening close to the coastal area. At Internet cafes the cost of using these facilities is relatively high. Following on, hiring a Sun Bed and Sun Chair can be as much as three euro's a day. This is quite high considering as people can not spend a whole day in the Sun. I also find that Restaurant's are not as good value as they used to be as the prices have gone up in the last few years and the food quantity provided has also gone astray. The mainstream british and american franchised Retail Outlets in Cyprus are over here with the well known names such as debenhams, marks and spencer, Costa coffee etc. The one thing that is not so good is that I...

Review of Limassol (Cyprus)

Limassol Castle - Well Worth a Visit

Advantages: Cheap to visit, very atmospheric
Disadvantages: Only an hour's worth of stuff to see

...some atmosphere. The real attraction for me that day was the beautiful seafront area within 10 minute walk from the Castle which I would happily visit again. I wouldn?t say it?s worth a trip to the area just to see the Castle but to wander around the quaint shops nearby selling souvenir items and the seafront; it?s a good day trip if you have run out of other attractions to see in Cyprus. OVERALL RATING Considering the price we paid it was worth the visit. I?d say 75% of the items on display were not of appeal to me personally but that?s probably just me lacking in cultural appreciation! The 25% that I did enjoy seeing made it more than worthwhile for me, so I?m happy to give Limassol Castle a decent 4 out of 5 stars. WHERE IS IT? Limassol Castle is situated at Richard and Berengaria Street, Limassol, Cyprus...

Review of Limassol Castle, Limassol

Limassol

Advantages: Great base for visiting the tourist sites. Has a fantastic waterpark
Disadvantages: Not really a disadvantage but more like a city in parts than an actual tourist resort

...– the rest have tiny balconies!) We spent the first afternoon looking for a local agent to arrange our excursions with and found West End Travel beside the BP station on the main road which stretches the length of the resort of Limassol, just a few minutes walk from Woolworth’s. This agency is run by an English woman who sells all the excursions at 2 or 3 Cyprus Pounds cheaper than all the other agencies. She also has a shop in Paphos. We booked trips to the Troodos Mountains, The Baths of Aphrodite and Coral Bay, Nicosia, The Lefkothea Evening Cruise and the Watermania Waterpark all costing around £C6.50 (there are approx. 88 Cypriot Cents to the £1 sterling) except for the waterpark which cost £C10 for entrance only, and the evening cruise which cost £C17 including a buffet dinner. The Argos representative in our hotel was...

Review of Limassol (Cyprus)

Lovely Limassol

Advantages: Lots to do, great weather, good location
Disadvantages: Problems with hotel rooms, some rude staff

...I have just come back from a gorgeous week in the Hotel Atlantica in Limassol in Cyprus, and I feel absolutely miserable - this time yesterday I was sunbathing in the 40C heat with a Pina Colada (they were free!) and now I'm sat at the computer, in a jumper, freezing my bum off. It's so cold here! Anyway, I've got quite a lot to say about Cyprus and the Hotel Atlantica, so here we go! CYPRUS - - - - - - - - - - - Cyprus is a an island located in the Mediterranean sea, south of Turkey, and close to Egypt. The official language is Greek, although being a former British colony, English is very widely spoken. The currency is the Cypriot Pound (CYP), which is 78p exactly, to our £1 sterling. The weather is nice enough to visit Cyprus from April to about October. It's hottest in July and August - it was well in the 30's and 40's...

Review of Atlantica Hotel, Limassol

Limassol

Advantages: friendly citizens
Disadvantages: difficult parking

...not restrict anybody of visiting it. In fact, there are held many concerts, theatres etc. British Base it there as Cyprus was a british colony in the past. Limassol is known in Cyprus as the main city of entertainment, of night life, of culture and generally of everything. The relations with foreigners who come through the port, made the citizens very kind persons and easy approachable. Limassol citizens enjoy a lot the good food, the quality in entertainment and that's why wherever you go, you'll find a pleasure atmosphere either this is a restaurant or a club or even just a shop. In Limassol, many festivals are held during the year, but there are 2 main festivals which all citizens are prepared from the last year in order to be ready. The first is the Carnival which even if it is held all over Cyprus, in Limassol (as we said before...

Review of Limassol (Cyprus)

Limassol Life and Soul

Advantages: Central Location, beaches, good night life, tradition, good resturants
Disadvantages: 52 days of rain

...a lovely shopping area and has stores such as Essence, Top Shop etc as well as the tourist shops. Well if you make it to Limassol call in to see me. I'll either be on one of the small cove beaches or in the Smugglers pub drinking a Brandy Sour and putting the world to rights with the owner Vas. I'll be happy to point out lots more interesting places that you might like. Happy Holidays. A quick ps. i have been asked to add more content to this review which I have now done. It is very difficult as I could probably write a book on Cyprus. However I am never going to be able to put something in for everyone. I'm not the Cyprus Tourist Board but just wanted to give my account of Cyprus and let people see the good things there are to do here....

Review of Limassol (Cyprus)

Limassol - something for everyone

Advantages: Good choice of 4 and 5 star hotels, excellent facilites, excellent transport system, good base
Disadvantages: If you prefer a typical package holiday resort this may not be for you

..., plus during the day you can shop around the Old Town where you'll find some interesting artisan shops and local goods. There are plans to build a large marina in Limassol, although already one located at the St Raphael hotel, and this will surely increase tourism. I do feel Limassol is very underated as a tourist resort, probably because it is also a thriving commercial and residential town and not your typical Spanish / Greek holiday resort....its open all year round too. Very good base, you can explore the rest of the island comfotably from here, nowhere is too far away. Its also only around 45 minutes from either Paphos or Larnaca airport. The best beaches around the area are Ladies Mile and Governors Beach, for those of you who dont want to miss your local nights out there are plenty or Irish and English bars some of them offering...

Review of Limassol (Cyprus)

Cyprus with Babies - Limassol. Baby equipment hire company.

Advantages: friendly service, local company, great idea for tourists with babies and cyprus residents
Disadvantages: they only work in limassol

...We found a really helpful company just recently when family came for their holidays to Limassol. We had our grandson coming to visit and needed a travel cot and a high chair. A search on a local website pointed us in the direction of Cyprus with Babies! They hire out baby equipment in the Limassol tourist area, which was great. We hired a travel cot which arrived in a bag and was set up in just a few minutes by the english staff who delivered it. We also got an extra padded mattress, a fitted bottom sheet, a top sheet and a lovely baby blanket. They don't provide pillows. Everything looked brand new and was spotlessly clean. The high chair folded almost flat so could be put out of the way when we didn't need to use it and went into a couple of different positions in case our grandson was sleepy, he could lie back. There were straps...

Review of Limassol (Cyprus)

Lovely Limassol

Advantages: the complex has everything you need
Disadvantages: except a decent gym! (it's ok though)

..., we had managed to save nearly a thousand pounds. We felt proud of our efforts and we were looking forward to seeing what we could afford. We went to 'Lunn Poly' and decided we would go on one of those last minute packages. Outside the travel agents we did get a little bit nervous, we had worked really hard for this money and we were about to blow it all, after a few seconds of thought we decided that we?d earned it and that we needed a break. We told the agent how much money we had and when we could go and it was only a matter of minutes before they were bowling us over with bargain breaks. After a lot of discussion (we were in there about two hours!), we decided on a self-catering break in Limassol, Cyprus. The actual holiday cost us about £500 for the three of us including flights and transfers for 7 nights and then the travel...

Review of Hotel Atlantica Bay (Limassol)

Aloha Divers, Limassol

Advantages: Great dive school and great sites to visit
Disadvantages: Limassol is not the nicest area in Cyprus

...Prior to arriving in Limassol my husband and I starting trawling the net for diving schools in the Limassol area and after communicating by e-mail with several of them we decided to book up with Aloha Divers. They told us that when we arrived we could call them and they'd come and pick us up from our hotel but we managed to find them quite easily ourselves. They are situated in the tourist area of Potamos Yermasoyias on the main road, beside the Pizza Hut. They do special prices for dive packs of either 4 or 8 dives. We ended up doing 12 dives plus 2 on the Zenobia wreck. We paid approximately 12 Cypriot Pounds per dive (we had our own kit) except for the 2 dives on the Zenobia which cost £C50 and included transport to Larnaca and a buffet lunch on the dive boat. There are a good variety of dives off the Limassol coast. Most...
