Wondering what to do in Limassol?
Apart from water activities (5 water activities in Limassol), you can also choose to include in your itinerary land activities too.
Why?
Because Cyprus isn’t only about beaches, swimming and sunbathing, boat cruises, snorkeling and scuba diving. It’s also about culture and mountains. The island and specifically the Limassol district has some of the most wonderful mountain villages to explore! :-)
In addition, the Troodos mountains are so majestic that you can’t leave them out of your holiday plans!...
…and that’s why in this article we are going to talk about 6 wonderful land activities you can have in Limassol or even from Limassol.
What do we mean by that?…”from Limassol”?
The island of Cyprus might be the third largest island in the Mediterranean, but you can travel from the one end to the other end within a couple of hours or even less – it depends on the traffic.
So from Limassol you can take your rental car and travel to the other districts of the island and back within a day.
For example, you need about an hour – depending on the traffic – to get to Paphos, once you get there you can start sightseeing or even visit the beautiful beaches, have lunch and then back to Limassol.
That’s just an example of a one day trip from Limassol to Paphos and back.
