The Limassol District
Limassol, the second largest city and main port of Cyprus, is extremely cosmopolitan with many different shops, cafes, bars and restaurants, as well as sites of historical interest, such as the ancient castle where King Richard the First of England is said to have married his queen Berengeria. There is also a museum, handcraft centre and municipal gardens. The centre of Limassol also has many churches, and a large market near the bus station. Buses run to Nicosia, Paphos and other parts of the island. It is one of the best locations from which to explore other parts of Cyprus and enjoy all that the island has to offer.
Amathus area of Limassol, on the eastern edge, is close to the tourist area, and there are beaches and coastal promenades linking Amathus to the main town of Limassol. There is a large selection of international restaurants located all over the city (including some of the worldwide chains), that are too numerous to list here!
The two international airports at Larnaca and Paphos are respectively about 40 and 50 mins drive . Waterpark at Fassouri: 17kms; Curium Beach and Roman theatre (which is still used for productions) at 20kms; Troodos approx 40 mins; Nicosia and Paphos both within one hour's drive. Simply superb central location to experience all Cyprus' amenities. Cyprus enjoys sunshine for 10 out of the 12 months of the year, and even the winter months are mild, although snow is not unknown! From April through to October, the climate is warm and sunny, reaching very high temperatures in July and August.
Limassol / Parekklisia area
Parakklesia district is to the east of the main city, which is accessible either by the main highway, or via the sea front road. The highway will also take you east towards Larnaca and Nicosia, and the famous Governor's Beach is a short drive along the highway eastwards. Governor's Beach has a restaurant, children's play equipment and a few fairground rides. To the west of Limassol there is Fassouri Water Park, Curion Roman Theatre and beach.
The property is also in a very convenient location from which to get out of town and explore some of the quieter villages away from the coast. Northwards takes you out in to the countryside, vineyards, towards Troodos, the mountains, donkey sanctuary at Vuoni and other attractions. Also close by is the Yermasoyia area which is excellent for walking enthusiasts with its nature walks and lakes.
Along the coast towards Paphos, you can see Aphrodite's Rock, where the legendary goddess is said to have arisen from the sea. It is said that in Cyprus, nowhere in the interior is more than one hour's drive from the coast, which means that you can cross the island from south coast to the north coast within a couple of hours.
How to get there
40-50 minutes from both Larnaca and Paphos International Airports.
Flights into both airports from Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and various regional airports. Cyprus Airways, BA, Monarch, EasyJet and some charters all fly into both airports from most parts of the UK.
Car hire is available at airport, bookable in advance online (also available within walking distance of apartment).
Easy journey by following signs for Lemesos along A1 Nicosia-Paphos highway. Exit at junction 21. Taxis also easily available, and can be booked in advance.

Guestbook for Bayview Terraces, Limassol
"We would summarise our time spent here as one of the best holidays we have had in Cyprus, and we go every year. Property is fresh and clean, fully air conditioned and beautifully maintained. The view from the balcony is wonderful. The owners were very helpful and were able to address every detail promptly and accurately. We would like to thank Rosanna and David for the bottle of wine and for allowing us to use their wonderful apartment.'' Chris and Family from Epsom
"I spent one week in december with my wife and 2 children (30y old). I am enthusiastic. Everything very modern and clean and well equipped. Plenty of space. The balcony is very pleasant and with all comfort. Air-cond in all bedrooms, living and dining rooms. Quiet apartment (top floor), and very good location to visit south Cyprus. Easy access from the highway, and 5 min by car to central Limassol for big supermarkets. Walking distance to smaller supermarkets, restaurants, and beach. Very good assistance also from the local property managers. I really recommend this apartment which is excellent value."
"As a group of 6 students researching for our final year project we were looking for somewhere comfortable to spend our 5 weeks on the Island. The apartment has been finished to a very high standard, with a very spacious open plan living/dining/kithen area, with an equally impressive balcony area. The apartment is very well equipped with all the luxuries you would expect. The apartment complex is beautifully looked after, with a clean pool and well kept grounds. This also makes a perfect base to travel around the island with troodos, paphos and larnaca all within easy driving distance. And with Limassol just a short drive away, and small local shops and beaches within walking distance everything you need is well within reach. I would definitely return to this apartment and recomend this to anyone visiting this area!"
