For a combination holiday in Cyprus Limassol is a good choice. Limassol is a lively, cosmopolitan town with plenty of shops, bars and tavernas.

In terms of history Limassol is thought to have emerged from the two city-kingdoms of Amathus and Kourion.

A market place and also remains of a Christian Basilica and parts of the defensive walls are now exhibited at Ancient Amathus.

On the south coast of Cyprus Limassol first produced the oldest named wine in the world “Commandaria” which was produced after Richard the Lionheart visited during the crusades and made Limassol his headquarters.

With so much culture and history all over Cyprus Limassol is a must, being home to the medieval castle which hosted the marriage of Richard the Lionheart in a chapel in 1191. Unfortunately the lovely chapel is no more, sadly the Great Hall collapsed during 1525.

Also of great importance to Cyprus Limassol especially, is ancient Kourion, the second most important ancient City to visit after Salamis.

This area has been inhabited since the Neolithic times. Evidence shows that the Mycenaeans began inhabitation during the 14th Century BC.
