Limassol – Cyprus's 'Dubai' with a history stretching back to Byzantium

Limassol, located on Cyprus's southern coast, grew from the Byzantine settlement of Neapolis into one of the island's wealthiest cities. Situated roughly equidistant from Nicosia, Larnaca and Paphos, it serves as a key transport and economic hub. Today luxury yachts dock in the shadow of medieval walls, while international corporations operate alongside ancient temples.
