Limassol is a large, cosmopolitan port and resort with some of the best hotels in Cyprus and an enormous selection of restaurants, nightclubs, discos and shops.  This the gateway to the mountain resorts which can easily be reached via a very good road from Limassol.  Pissouri and Governor’s beaches are within easy reach as is the enormous beach at Curium.  The villages in the mountains around Limassol are set in the midst of vineyards and several are featured in our programme.

The crusader castle of Kolossi, the headquarters of the Knights Templar and St John of Jerusalem, is within easy reach as are the ancient kingdoms of Curium to the west and Amathus to the east.  It was in Limassol castle that Richard the Lionheart married Berengaria of Navarre.
