    If you are looking for a holiday in the mass tourist industry that Cyprus has generated, please look elsewhere. Here, in this property, you will experience the buzz of daily Cypriot life, the way the locals live it. Walk through the tightly built old city, its narrow lanes, and experience what Cyprus is really about.

    Visit the local markets, the local “Kafeneio”, eat at the local mezedopoleio. The property is within a stone’s throw of the medieval castle, where Richard the Lionheart wedded Berengaria on May 12, 1191 AD. You will hear the church bells ring and the Imam's call to prayer; the Turkish quarter is only 5 minutes away (walking). And if its culture you are after, walk to the local open air cinema, local theatres or drive to the ancient Greek theatre of Curium where regular international productions are staged.

    Remembering the good old days!

    We stayed at Yiayia's house which is ideally placed to explore the old town including St Andrew's St, the Castle, Museum and a small zoo. The house was very well provided for a holiday and the hostess was extremely helpful, meeting us late at night...More

    About the neighbourhood
    The property is also ideal as a base for exploring other parts of the island. Limassol is served by several new motorways which offer easy access to airports, other cities and the Troodos mountain range. Close by you will find another medieval castle (Kolossi), and the ancient Graeco-Roman cities of Curium and Amathus. There are three 18 hole golf courses within half an hour’s drive and no city is closer to the island’s vine lands. Please visit our links pages (found on our website) for ideas on activities and for information on regular local events such as the WRC Rally and the annual Limassol Wine Festival.
    Getting around
    Public transport is at your doorstep (bus and taxi, both local and intercity). You might want to rent a car if you are intending on visiting remote areas of the island.

    Car not needed
    How to get there
    Airport: Larnaca Airport: 55.0 km
    Ferry: Limassol Port: 5.0 km
    Fly to Larnaca or Paphos airports - flights to most major European and Middle Eastern airports. Most European and Middle Eastern national airlines, many low-cost carriers and many chartered airlines fly to Cyprus. Visit the following website for up to the minute information on available routes:
    http://www.cyprusairports.com.cy/

    From either airport, you can then travel to Limassol by taxi or by rented car. If driving, once you reach Limassol follow directions towards the old port (not the new one!), Limassol castle (not Kolossi castle!) or the 'Mitropolis' (the district bishopric). The exact location is marked on a map available from our personal website (see bottom right of this page under 'Visit the owner's website').
