Ancient Kourion. This magnificent archaeological site is often the first stop for most tourists. The site also comprises a 3500-seat theater, constructed in the 2nd century, and later extended during the Roman era. The serrated cliffs, looking out towards the Mediterranean Sea, present a breathtaking view. The striking monuments on display all belong to the Greco-Roman period, even though the Kourian has been around since the Neolithic age.
Aphrodite’s Rock. If you want to enjoy the setting sun, there are few better places than Aphrodite’s rock. In association with the Byzantian legendary frontier-guard Digenis Akritas, the rock is also called ‘Petra tou Romiou’ (Rock of The Greek). This setting has inspired many poetries and paintings, none more famous than the Birth of Venus painting by Sandro Botticelli. The place is also an excellent picnic spot and must be scouted by anyone motoring along the coastline connecting Paphos and Limassol.
Beaches. A vacation in Limassol is incomplete without the beach. The Lady’s Mile beach is situated on the East shore of the Akrotiri Peninsula and is one of the most sought-after beaches in the city. If you wish to take in a bit of culture along with the sun, you can always pay a visit to the Kourion beach – and the nearby remains of a 1400-year old basilica.
Limassol – with its beaches, restaurants, and monuments – is the idea of an ideal vacation. Plan and enjoy your dream holiday with Tripety’s travel planner app.
