Limassol houses one of the most ambitious projects ever built in Cyprus. The site was developed to hold shops, cafés and restaurants alongside private residences and super-yacht berths — the first marina in Cyprus, and in this part of the Mediterranean, built to take yachts of that size. There are luxury apartments here, and villas with their own boat dock.
The marina is where people go: to walk the pier, to shop, to have lunch or dinner with the water in every direction. The view holds up at any hour, and a coffee looking out over the yachts and the villas is the standard way to spend an afternoon.
The numbers
The marina can hold up to 650 yachts, with boat servicing, repairs and refuelling available on site. It is the combination of the facilities and the setting that makes it worth an hour even if you have no boat to moor.
Explore it on foot. It belongs near the top of the list for anyone spending time in Limassol.
