Limassol is a cosmopolitan town; it is lively and full of fun loving people.

Historically, Limassol emerged from the two city-kingdoms of Amathus and Kourion. The ancient Kourion Theatre is used during the summer months for concerts, drama plays and other events. "Commandaria" wine, the oldest named wine in the world was first introduced after Richard the Lionheart visited Lemesos during the crusades and made the town his headquarters.

Limassol nowadays is a busy shopping centre with lots of tavernas and restaurants but also has various important monuments and culture to be explored.
