Limassol, successor of two city-kingdoms Kourion and Amathus where the old and the new co-exist in harmony. We begin our tour from the old port and the magnificent marina. We visit the 13th century medieval fortress related with Richard the Lionheart and Berengaria's wedding, which is now a museum on the Medieval history of Cyprus with Byzantine and Frankish monuments. Next we continue through the surrounding area with stone-built warehouses and restaurants and we visit the Great Mosque or Kepir Mosque and the Cathedral of Agia Napa. Next we walk through the Agiou Andreou pedestrian street in order to end up to the historical center and finally the sea-front pedestrian promenade. A panoramic view of the coast line of the city will be offered too. We will finish back to our starting point or another agreed-upon location. * Participants are advised to wear comfortable walking shoes, light clothes during the summer months.
