About Limassol

The City and Region
Limassol is the second-largest city in Cyprus. It is the largest in geographical size, and the biggest municipality on the island. The city is located on Akrotiri Bay, on the island’s southern coast. In recent years the area has become one of the most important tourism, trade and service-providing centres in the area.

Limassol is renowned for its long cultural tradition, and is home to the Cyprus University of Technology. A wide spectrum of retail, sports and leisure activities, museums and archaeological sites are available in the city, and consequently Limassol provides an excellent residential and rental property opportunity  

The nearby marina at Limassol is a huge investment in the area and has been designed as an exclusive waterfront development. No expense has been spared to create one of the most modern and luxurious marinas in the world. 

The Limassol Marina offers exclusive restaurants, shops, fine walkways and fantastic views. The dining facilities combine traditional tavernas, stylish restaurants and waterfront bars and cafes. The integral shopping experience offers a comprehensive range of designer boutiques and specialist outlets.

Tourism
Limassol, historically southern Cyprus’s main port and industrial centre, is now emphatically multicultural thanks to a huge, post-1990 influx of Russians and other nationalities, and has always basked in a reputation as the island’s venue for high living.

Its often elegant old quarter focuses on its produce market, surrounded by tavernas and bars, and an equally diminutive medieval castle, the latter enveloped by a former carob-pod mill refitted as an eating, drinking and exhibition complex.

Russian investment in Limassol is vast. It is estimated that Cyprus’s Russian speaking population is now 35,000 – 40,000 with many choosing Limassol as their preferred area of residence encouraging a prolific Russian tourism sector in the area.

Development in the Area
Limassol is the location of an exclusive International Marina construction project estimated to cost in the region of €350 million.  An exclusive waterfront development designed by a world-renowned team of architects and engineers, the local economy is anticipated to experience significant growth by the generation of employment both within the marina complex and also within service industries within the city.  The marina combines exclusive residential dwellings, many of which are being sold to Russian, European and Arab investors, the state-of-the-art marina and exclusive restaurants and shops, to create a lifestyle uniquely shaped by 'living on the sea'.

Just a stroll away from the heart of Limassol, the marina is designed to blend seamlessly with the city’s historic harbour, old town and medieval castle. With its breathtaking views, and outstanding range of facilities, Limassol Marina is destined to become the most exclusive marina resort in the Mediterranean – and one of the finest in the world.
