Ski in the mountains and sunbathe on the beach in the same day, and sip local wine on holidays to Limassol.
On the southern seashore of Cyprus, Limassol is close to the alleged birthplace of Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite. The town is known for its winemaking, using grapes from vineyards in the foothills of the nearby Troodos Mountains. Beach lovers flock here for the beautiful Mediterranean surf and year-round sunshine.

Best of Limassol holidays for...
  • Kids & teens: Get lost in the hidden passageways of Crusader castles like Kolossi Castle built by Maltese knights and the 14th-century Limassol Fort.
  • Grown-up families: Don't know how to amuse all ages? Don't worry! Morning skiing in the Troodos Mountains leaves time for an afternoon at the beach in Limassol.
  • Shopping: Take a wander around Limassol's pretty old town to get your hands on traditional Cypriot ceramics and locally-crafted linens.
