Perfect days out for petrol heads

Love your cars? For a great alternative day out why not head on over to the Cyprus Motor Museum? Check out the vintage vans and classic cars, and see if you can spot a couple of Hollywood star cars in there too. If you prefer to get behind the wheel rather than just looking at shiny hubcaps, then 4x4 adventures that take you off-road and across the beautiful and unspoilt Akamas Peninsula are a great way to get out and about.

Sports lovers are well catered for, and if your list of things to do in Limassol includes a round or two of golf then you're in luck. The incredible Aphrodite Hills Golf Club boasts an 18-hole championship course over 6,000 metres long. If you want to work on your swing or putting, the academy's pros will be able to give you a little one-on-one coaching to really improve your game.

Land of the gods (and goddesses)

Not all the Greek gods came from the mainland and the goddess of love, the beautiful Aphrodite, was supposed to have been born right here in Cyprus. Not far from the heart of busy Limassol is Aphrodite's Rock (or Petra Tou Romiou), a magical part of the coast where you can swim in the clearest blue water and watch the sun set. It's no wonder the gods chose this spot! There's plenty of history to discover, and around Limassol you'll find some of Cyprus' best archaeological hot spots. From ancient castles to entire towns dating back thousands of years, it's a history-lover's delight.

For the kids

Things to do in Limassol include plenty of adventures for younger travellers, such as the amazing Fasouri Watermania Waterpark. This is the island's most popular spot to cool off on a hot, sunny day, and you'll have plenty to choose from in this family-friendly park. Slides, pools, and lagoons make it perfect for both timid toe dippers and dedicated water babies, while mum and dad can relax in the sun, knowing the kids are well looked after and enjoying themselves.

Party when the sun goes down

Things to do in Limassol don't come to a stop when the sun goes down, in fact, the party's just getting started! Some of the island's best clubs and bars are right here in Limassol, and they throw their doors open every night for some serious dancing, drinking, and partying. If you prefer things a little more laid back then look out for family-run tavernas offering live traditional music nights, or sophisticated jazz clubs with cool sounds and even cooler cocktails.
