In the immediate vicinity of Limassol are the oldest cities of Cyprus, Amathus and Kourion, which were once ancient city-states. To the north of the resort are the picturesque Troodos mountains with ancient monasteries hidden in pine forests. Nearby is the castle of Kolossi, in some periods the former residence of the rulers of the country. Also in Limassol there is a famous citadel, built at the beginning of the XIV century on the ruins of a Byzantine castle, in the chapel of which the marriage between Richard the Lionheart and Berengaria, who later became the Queen of England, was concluded. Now the Cyprus Museum of the Middle Ages is open in the citadel. The church of Ayia Napa is also well known, the relic of which is the veil of St. Veronica, which she extended to Christ on the way to the crucifixion.

Jeep safari in the mountains! There are about 7 large jeeps for 9 people each. Arrivals to the village of Lefkara (very nice decorations are produced there), to a wine farm with wine tasting, incl. Commanders (where it is the cheapest), to a hotel on Mount Olympus with feeding, to a camel or ostrich farm, etc.
Singing fountains in Limassol. A beautiful sight.
Be sure to check out the huge water park near Limassol Watermanya.

Sightseeing tour of Limassol
You will visit the ruins of the ancient city of Curium, where you will be presented with a Greco-Roman amphitheater and well-preserved mosaics.
Then your path will pass through the ancient castle of Kolossi, founded by the knights of the Order of St. John in the thirteenth century. You will also visit the medieval castle where King Richard the Lionheart married his beloved Berengaria of Navarre. The fortress is located two hundred meters from the old port of Limassol. Previously, there were Byzantine fortifications on this site. The fortress that exists today was built at the beginning of the 14th century. In 1950, the fortress was reconstructed by the British, under whom, starting from 1940, it was used as a prison and army headquarters. After the division of the island in 1974, exhibits from the Nicosia Museum of the Middle Ages were transferred to the fortress, the building of which turned out to be in the buffer zone separating Greeks and Turks
The Jami Kebir Mosque is a functioning mosque opposite the Limassol Fortress. Once there was a large Turkish community in Limassol, but now only a few believers visit the mosque - Muslims, in particular, tourists from the Arab East.
Duration: 3 hours
Price: $50.00

Tours
Kykkos Monastery
37 euro
It's worth the trip! The road passes through picturesque places in the Troodos mountain range. We went to the village of Lanya. Nice place, half an hour was given to walk and take pictures. We drove past the high-mountain ski resort Troodos, looked at the ski lifts, they also have a rest there in winter. The road is a continuous serpentine, there are a lot of turns, it turns like on a carousel. In Kykkos, first stop at the tomb of Archbishop Makarius. A small grotto, next to a soldier with a machine gun. Along the stone path you can climb to the stone open chapel with two icons of the Mother of God. Cloths are tied along the edges of the path on all the bushes. Then the bus stops at the parking lot. It's also full of souvenir shops. According to the advertisement, everyone buys carob syrup. There it is a little cheaper than on the coast. Wine - whatever you like. The most famous is Commandaria, a sweet dessert. Zivania is a product of distillation of grape pomace at 45 degrees, but they say local monks also make 49 degrees. A good gift for men!
The monastery itself. The largest and most famous in Cyprus. Founded in the XI century. In the church of the monastery there is a shrine - the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos, according to legend, written by the Apostle Luke himself.

The ancient city of Amathus
Entrance fee is 1f or about 2 euros/adult.
Amathus was built a thousand years BC. e. The excavations are a large area, at first wire fences are not suitable. Further the ancient ruins - the market square with stones, columns, walls of the ancient city.

We rented a car in Limassol and traveled all this ourselves. Jeep safari - in my opinion, unreasonable, because. these types of "jeeps" drove all the way for our rental Honda, on which we traveled all the Troodos mountains, were in the monasteries of Kykkos and Machairas, where they wanted, stopped, dined, talked with Cypriot peasants. Take the car, you won't regret it. If it is not possible, I can throw off the phone of an Orthodox Russian guide in Limassol, this woman is gaining excursions to the shrines of Cyprus, without delivery to all sorts of factories and wine shops. Have a nice rest!

And how old are the people? Yes, indeed, a trip to the Kiki Monastery will be remembered by you, the relics of 60 out of 100 saints are kept in the monastery. The whole environment makes an indelible impression on tourists.
I also want to advise you on an excursion called on the water and on land, with a visit to the birthplace of Aphrodite, the baths of Dionysus, a boat ride, swimming in a very beautiful bay and dinner in a fish tavern)) Everything is very tasty and insanely beautiful!!!
If you have the opportunity to choose a guide, I advise you Natalya Vladimirovna from Agronaftis tour. If you're interested, I can find her phone. in contacts. This is an unusually gifted, educated and sociable person with rich work experience.

The most interesting excursions to Northern Cyprus are Kerinia and Nicosia (this is my opinion, including please do not judge strictly!), I don’t understand why no one remembers about them? But here it’s still probably better not with street agencies. ))) The rest of the excursions are not worth taking from agencies: you can visit most of the sights on your own, and not only by car, the bus service in Cyprus is not expensive and is very developed. Cypriot night, etc. - this is the same buffet in a good hotel + not quite professional dancers. Donkeys are cute, but smelly! ))) The water park in Limassol is much better than in Ayia Napa. Go take a picture of Cavo Greco - beauty!
I am not interested in monasteries yet, incl. I won't suggest anything.
But I hear about the Singing Fountains in Limassol for the first time! Is it already there??? )))
PS. Sightseeing tour of Limassol (i.e., the city where tourists will live) - 50 euro?????? Sorry, I couldn't resist!

Yes Yes Yes!!! Famagusta is a ghost town, the feeling of surreality of the surroundings is worth seeing. And Limassol - indeed, you can walk around the city in the evening, go to the cathedral, sit in a cafe ... During the day it is hot and stuffy in the city, and it makes no sense to pay for such an excursion.

We rested with my daughter in Limassol in August 2016. Before the trip, we re-read all the available reviews about the city's tour desks. The most positively enthusiastic were about Cyprus Inform and we decided that we would travel with this agency. Decided and did not regret. Each client has a truly individual approach. Service at a very high level in everything. The prices are democratic. Commitment, decency of managers in the office just struck. The tours are very well-organized: the routes are designed in such a way that we do not intersect with huge buses with crowds of tourists, but always get ahead of them. All the sights could be seen without haste and queues. There was more than enough time to see everything, take a photo, and return to a comfortable minivan, in which cold water was waiting for us - the tour organizers even took care of this. The tour guides are wonderful.Cyprus Inform is not only in words, but in deeds a company that works for people.
