Another day of your holidays to Limassol Cyprus might be spent visiting the Archaeological Museum which was founded in 1948 and was originally housed in part of the famous Limassol Castle.
Kolossi Castle is an impressive castle with Cypress trees and gardens. The Knights Hospitaler was granted land at Kolossi by King Hugh I in 1210 and they built a castle. When Acre fell in 1291 the headquarters moved to Kolossi and the Grand Commandery of Kolossi became renowned as the richest possession of the Knights.
The original Castle suffered much damage in the Genoese attacks and the Mamelukes ravaged the lands in 1425. This led to the rebuilding of the Castle at the Mid-Fifteenth Century.
There are also plenty of beaches and recreational activities to keep the more active amused while on holidays to Limassol Cyprus, and for the little ones maybe a day at the municipal gardens with small zoo will keep them smiling.
However you plan to spend your holidays to Limassol Cyprus, we have the perfect holiday at rock bottom prices.
