Day 1 - Arrival & Exploring Old Town
Welcome to Limassol, the heart of Cyprus! Freshen up at your hotel, then put your explorer's hat on. Start with a visit to the old castle of Limassol, a place with centuries of tales trapped within its stone walls. Don't forget to check out the excellent museum inside. Steps away is the bustling Limassol's Old Town, a labyrinth of tiny, picturesque streets. Shop for local goods in the bustling market, then take a relaxing stroll along the seafront promenade. Later, reward yourself with a first taste of traditional Cypriot Meze at a local taverna. For a bit of a night-life kick, pop into one of the many lively wine bars in the city center.
Day 2 - Beach Day and Evening Cruise
What's a visit to Limassol without a bit of beach time? Start your day by soaking up some Mediterranean sun at one of the city's pristine blue-flagged beaches, such as Lady's Mile or Governor's Beach. If you fancy a little more action, try out some water sports! Later in the afternoon, prepare yourself for an enchanting experience - a sunset cruise. There’s nothing quite like watching the sun melting into the horizon, turning the sky into a palette of warm hues while sailing off the Limassol coast. End the day with a delicious seafood treat at a coastal restaurant.
Day 3 - Exploring the Wine Villages
On your final day in Limassol, take a scenic drive up to the Troodos mountains and visit the traditional wine villages. Start off in Omodos, a village with stone-paved squares, traditional houses, and old wine press. You're then off to a local winery for a little wine tasting. Get ready for a tantalizing experience as you sample some of Limassol's finest Commandaria wines. Imagine – these sweet dessert wines have been produced in Cyprus since 800BC! Finish off your day with a scenic drive back to Limassol and reminisce about the wonderful times during a quiet dinner in the city.
