It was extended along the coast by such a strip from the West on the east on about 15 kilometers. The tourist zone in which are located almost all the hotels, begins behind park from the hotel Park Beach and proceeds in east direction, leaving far beyond the city of Limassol. Most of the tourists are Russian, Englishmen and Germans. In Limassol are sandy beaches, a bottom of the sea also. Water is pure. Up to normal depth you need to go usually about 10 steps. Wild beaches here practically do not exist; all coastal line is divided into zones so to have a vacation in “savage” it is almost impossible. Where you would not go, there is a man who will necessarily approach you, offering to pay beach stock. The plank bed and an umbrella cost about 2 pounds. It is possible certainly to stay on your towel, but it is poorly convenient. Beaches everywhere are state, so nobody will drive you out.
The basic inconvenience consists that during the high season (July-August) all not hotels beaches of Cyprus are fully hammered, so sometimes it is necessary to search for a free place. On hotels beaches this problem usually do not exist, but consider, what not all local hotels have own beaches, and all of them are quiet small, and there are a lot of people.
The majority of the objects which represent the interest from the point of view of history and architecture are concentrated in the old part of city, conditionally limited by old port from the West, by street Gladstonos from the north, prospectus Archiepiskopou Makariou III from the east and quay of Limassol.
Here there is a fortress, in which Richard Lion Heart got married, and some churches and museums. There are lot of small restaurants and bars. Limassol is more seaport town, than tourist. Around it is a lot of Cyprus villas and very developed network of roads - all in an excellent condition. To get there it is possible by a taxi in any point of Limassol less than in 15 minutes.
