Introduction

Welcome to Lemesos, the second largest city in Cyprus, a city with a long tradition and history.  There is no other city in Cyprus with such a diverse history and culture.  Associated with the Crusades in Medieval times, its past reveals a civilisation uninterrupted for more than 5.000 years.

Welcome to the city of Festivals! The Wine Festival, the Carnival, the Summer Events (including a series of music, dance and theatre events at the Medieval Castle, the Folk Music and Dance Festival and the Great Ballet), the Beer Festival and many more.

Why walk?

See the best of Lemesos in a Walking Tour organized by the Municipality of Lemesos in collaboration with the Cyprus Tourism Organisation and the Cyprus Tourist Guides Association.  The tour aims at giving you the opportunity to get to know the historical center of Lemesos by walking through its narrow streets which visually "narrate" its long history.  Monuments of the past, traditional workshops, unique architectural features, the bustling life of the old market and traditional shops all reflect the city's atmosphere, the main element of this tour.  By walking, one gets the feel both of the place and its everyday life.
