📍 Destination Overview
Limassol is Cyprus's second-largest city and main port on the south coast, known for its palm-lined seafront, modern marina and lively nightlife. Its medieval castle, where Richard the Lionheart is said to have married, anchors the old town. As the island's wine capital, surrounding slopes yield the ancient sweet wine Commandaria, celebrated at a big autumn festival.
