Limassol Cruise Port Guide

On Limassol cruises, you’ll visit the gorgeous southern coast of Cyprus, an island country located in the Mediterranean Sea between Turkey and Egypt. Its location gives Cyprus an interesting culture that is both inspired by nearby nations while also maintaining an identity that is decidedly unique. 

On a Mediterranean cruise to Limassol, you’ll get to enjoy the stunning scenery surrounding your ship before you pull into port. Spend the day touring medieval castles and ancient theaters, visiting picturesque villages, and sampling local delicacies, or explore the countryside

Top sights & attractions for cruises to limassol, limassol castle.

When you cruise to Limassol, you can’t miss seeing Limassol Castle, which is firmly situated in the center of the Old Town area. Limassol Castle is the site where Richard the Lionheart married Berengaria of Navarre in 1191 before crowning her the Queen of England. The original castle is believed to have dated back to the 12th century. It once stood larger than it does today, but damage from raids and earthquakes over the centuries led it to fall into disrepair. Its present fortress-like appearance is a result of its rebuilding by the Ottomans in the late 1500s, and you can still see parts of the original fort that were incorporated into the 16th-century design. 

Kourion and the Curium Ancient Theater

Curium Ancient Theater is an incredible amphitheater located in the Kourion archaeological site, which was once a great kingdom in ancient times. Built in the 2nd century BC, the beautifully restored venue is still used for theater and musical performances today. Another interesting site to see in Kourion is the House of Eustolios, which consists of the remains of a private Roman villa turned recreation center. Its 5th-century mosaic floors are one of the top things to see when touring the house during Limassol cruises. 

Kolossi Medieval Castle

Kolossi Medieval Castle has long been an important site on the island, partly due to its strategic location at the mouth of the River Kouris next to a fertile valley. In the middle ages, the castle and its surroundings rose to prominence as plantations that harvested olives, sugarcane, and other crops were built. Kolossi Medieval Castle was also a strategic stronghold for Cyprus during this time. It is nine miles west of Limassol near a village that shares its name.

Top things to do in limassol, walk around pissouri village.

Pissouri is a picturesque village located on a bay lined with houses and taverns. One of its most popular sights is the quaint village square featuring a fountain in the middle. Another top sight to see in Pissouri Village during Limassol cruises is the village’s Gothic church, called the Church of Apostle Andrea.

Visit the Temple of Apollo Hylates

The Temple of Apollo Hylates is a former religious center of Cyprus. The god worshipped at this site was the mythical god of Apollo, referred to as Hylates, or the god of the woodlands. The Temple of Apollo Hylates dates back to the Bronze Age and is an interesting place to see, especially in combination with a visit to the nearby ancient city of Kourion.

Top Food and Drink Spots Near the Limassol Cruise Port

When deciding where to eat during a cruise to Limassol, you’ll no doubt want to visit a place with local cuisine. The traditional cuisine of the island leans more toward Greek cuisine, while other options feature flavors more commonly found in Turkish cuisine. Many restaurants combine both, which results in the delicious cuisine referred to on the island as Cypriot. Cypriot cuisine mixes the flavors of Greece and Turkey while also adding a variety of spices influenced by French, Italian, Catalan, and even Byzantine cuisine.

For a meal with a sea view, choose one of the restaurants lining the harbor. For a more traditional or historic experience, visit one of the restaurants located along the narrow alleyways of the Old Town.

Culture & History of the Limassol Cruise Port

Much of Limassol’s known history started in the 12th century during the Third Crusade led by the King of England at the time, who is better known as Richard the Lionheart. In 1489, the island of Cyprus was sold to Venice, though that was a short-lived occupancy as the Ottoman Empire invaded Cyprus in the 1570s. During this time, predominantly Greek and Turkish neighborhoods gained prominence in Limassol. In 1878, the British took over Cyprus and appointed a British governor to Limassol, who was keen on improving the town with better roads, more gardens and greenery, and the construction of better docks. Soon tourism arrived and hotels began to pop up on the island. In 1960, Great Britain granted independence to Cyprus.

Today, Cyprus is a popular tourist destination with visitors arriving from all over Europe and the rest of the world. Cyprus is filled with schools, theaters, art galleries, and music venues. Soccer is also a popular pastime here.

Limassol Port Facilities & Location

The Limassol cruise terminal is a modern facility with duty-free shops and an onsite bank if you need to get some euros. In addition, the Limassol cruise terminal has a tourist information desk, cafeteria with food available for purchase, a lounge to sit in, and a taxi rank. The port location is near to town, and it takes about 30 minutes to walk from the cruise terminal to the city center. There are also shuttles available to get to town.

Transportation in Limassol

Limassol is a fairly walkable city, though you’ll need to hire a taxi or sign up for a shore excursion to get to the ancient sites outside the city limits. Taxis are typically waiting right outside the port gate. There are also bus lines that service the port, and you can find bus stops outside the cruise terminal as well.

Shopping Near the Limassol Cruise Port

Shopping is available within the terminal where Limassol cruises dock. For a shopping experience beyond duty-free shops and typical souvenirs, you’ll want to head into the city center to the old port neighborhood. There you’ll find an abundance of shops selling local fashion, handmade crafts, and spices and liquor that are popular on the island.

Local Currency & Tipping Customs

Cyprus uses the euro, and there are ATMs and currency exchange offices located throughout Limassol where you can get some of the local currency. Credit cards are often accepted at shops and restaurants. When dining out, be sure to check your bill, since a 10% tip is often already included. If not, it’s common to leave 10% for good service.

Egypt Cruises

Cruise Lines

• Departure Ports

The Nile River offers a myriad of cultural attractions, man-made marvels, and deep history to discover on a river cruise.

Cruise the Nile River as the Pharaohs of Egypt did long ago and discover ancient treasures and intriguing peoples. Imagine the Pyramids of Giza, towering over you and reminding you of the mystery which enshrouded one of the world’s greatest civilizations. Spend some time in Luxor, where you can find the Valley of the Kings, or Lake Nasser, created to control the flooding of the Nile.

Sailing the Nile River for a cruise to Egypt will be a one-of-a-kind vacation from the norm.

Things to Do on a Cruise to Egypt

A cruise to Egypt is a trip back in time. During your cruise you’ll devote most of your time to learning about the country’s ancient roots. From the amazing Pyramids to the fascinating Nile and the extensive book collection at the Alexandria Library, you’ll leave Egypt with a greater appreciation for their contributions to society. Featured below are suggested things to do for making the most of your time cruising to Egypt:

• The Pyramids of Giza are the only remaining of the 7 ancient wonders of the world. You cannot miss them when in Egypt. Nearby you will also see the mysterious Sphinx. During the day you can ride a camel around the Pyramids, a fun excursion to get you in the Egyptian mood.  
• Head to the Red Sea for a little R ‘n’ R. This spot is popular among divers and snorkelers for the colorful coral, clownfish and other sea life.  

• The Valley of the Kings in Luxor is a stunning site where many of Egypt’s pharaohs were buried, including King Tut. Here you’ll learn about their legacies and the burial practices of the Egyptians.  
• Though the original Alexandria Library no longer exists, you can visit the new site, which has millions of books, four museums and a multimedia presentation called Culturama.  

• Explore the temples that are all over Egypt. The Temple Karnak is one of the largest ever built, and Abu Simbel in Aswan has four statutes dedicated to Pharaoh Ramesses II.  
• To get a true education about the pharaohs and beliefs of the Egyptians, you’ll have to spend some time at the Egyptian Museum, which has thousands of artifacts, many of which are thousands of years old. One of the museum’s highlights is the mummy room.

Cruise to Alexandria, Egypt

Alexandria shore excursions, amazing experiences coming soon., sorry, there are no excursions for this port at this moment., things to do in alexandria.

Cultural Collections

Alexandria's museums house many priceless artifacts from ancient times.

Alexandria, Egypt, has a rich and complex history. To get a sense of it, make sure you visit at least one of the city's many museums. The Alexandria National Museum and the Antiquities Museum are heavy hitters, but there's also the Royal Jewelry Museum, a stately manor that harbors a vast collection of awe-inspiring jewels — from priceless diamonds and rubies to rarely seen stones from far-flung places.

Adventure Underground

The catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa are a showcase of ancient culture

Archaeologists will tell you that an entire world can be buried just beneath your feet. This is true in Alexandria, where impressive tombs and temples have been discovered underground. The catacombs of Kom el-Shoqafa are a great example. They form a maze of subterranean burial chambers dating to the Roman era, and taking a tour of these catacombs is one of the best things to do in Alexandria, Egypt. They contain all kinds of spectacular relics that showcase a combination of Egyptian, Roman and Greek cultures.

Shore Up on Beach Vibes

Alexandria sits along the northern coast of Egypt. The city has beautiful golden-sand beaches kissed by the sapphire-blue waters of the Mediterranean fit for sunseekers. One of the prettiest and cleanest beaches is Mamoura Beach, beloved by locals looking to take a break from the bustle of the city. Ice cream and food stands line the quaint cobblestone boardwalk that runs along the beach, and you'll find ample options to rent loungers and umbrellas.

LOCAL CUISINE

You'll find delicious food throughout Egypt, but cities along the northern coast — like Alexandria — offer a unique and flavorful fusion of Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean flavors. Snack on some crispy falafel, foul fava bean dip, and warm Baladi bread. You'll find this fare at cafes throughout the city. Or head to Alexandria's seafood market for some amazing catches — shop owners will cook them for you on-site for a small fee. And if you're craving something hearty, try some of Alexandria's famous fondue, typically made from seven kinds of cheese and paired with different meats.

The best places to shop during cruises to Alexandria, Egypt, are traditional souks — labyrinthine bazaars where artisans, spice traders, jewelers and more display and sell their wares. Alexandria's souk district is located at the westernmost point of Midan Tahrir. This area is always bustling. Its cafes, bakeries and stalls buzz with energy around the clock, especially at night. You'll find everything here including beautifully woven cloth, bangles, souvenirs and sundries.

Cyprus Cruises

Cyprus cruise vacation: discover the sun-kissed coastline.

A cruise holiday to Cyprus brings you to the crossroads between east and west, to an island that has been the steppingstone of practically every influential civilization in the region. From Neolithic settlers to the adventurous Phoenicians and the genius of the Ancient Greeks, the island’s deep ancient roots make it a mosaic of cultures. And as the third largest island in the eastern Mediterranean, Cyprus boasts dramatic landscapes, sun-kissed coasts and the cool Troodos Mountains – not to mention the vineyard-studded hills, castles and monasteries that make even the shortest foray unforgettable.

A Contrast of Culture

It only takes a few hours to see how the modern and very ancient past easily commingle on this island nation. Cyprus may be part of the European Union today, but Middle Eastern influences linger and lend their charms. At times, the island feels akin to the coastal cities of Israel and Lebanon, which lay closer to Cypriot shores than Athens. And thanks to its fantastic beaches and quaint, historic old town, this eclectic destination draws travellers from around the world. No less today than in the age of knights and Crusades, when Richard the Lionheart banished the Byzantine rulers and married his beautiful bride, Berengaria, in Limassol Castle.

Cyprus’ tumultuous history has left an indelible mark on the island’s architecture and culture. You will also note the Cypriots drive on the right-hand side of the road, a custom left by the British that brought the island in the fold of its far-reaching Empire between 1878 and 1960.

Tastes of Cyprus

While commandaria is principally a dessert wine, there are many sumptuous wines throughout Cyprus and the Greek islands. It’s always fun to mix with the locals in the charming tavernas and sample the local flavors. Just remember, cheers in Greece is yamas !
