Limassol Shore Excursions

Located in the far Eastern Mediterranean, Cyprus is a large island which is split between the Republic of Cyprus in the south and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus in the north. Most tourism is to the Greek-speaking southern area which accounts for almost two-thirds of the land mass. Its closest mainland neighbours are Syria and Lebanon to the east. Of all the islands in the Mediterranean region only Sicily and Sardinia are larger. Historically, the island was an important port for the Phoenicians who established a trading post in the harbour of modern-day Limassol on the south coast. Many

Country Profile: Cyprus

1 June, 2016

The stunning Mediterranean island of Cyprus, blessed with an incredible natural beauty, is one of my favourite holiday destinations. Its fabulous golden beaches, fascinating history and wonderfully diverse culture is made even more intriguing by the island’s strong connection to the mythical goddess Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, whose birthplace, near Paphos, can be visited. Cyprus is the ideal destination for lovers of ancient history, as every invader of this sought after island left a legacy – many of which still remain for today’s visitor to explore. What to Do While the majority of people come to Cyprus

Layers of History in Limassol

10 October, 2015

Over the course of its four thousand year history, many groups have made their mark upon the Cyprus port city of Limassol. Though very little is known about the city’s founding, Limassol has played host to King Richard the Lionheart during the Third Crusade in the 12th century, and has been passed from the Anglo-Normans, to the French, to the Ottomans, to the Venetians and eventually to the British. Today, the Republic of Cyprus is a self-governing country, except for the British-controlled Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia. Limassol’s complicated and ancient past means that there are layers of
