Top Tips you shouldn't miss

• As an ex-resident of Limassol I recommend the following as good beaches to visit outside Limassol:- Governors Beach located east of Limassol about 20 minute drive down the 'motorway' - Ladies Mile Beach west of Limassol next to the new port and the salt lake. Go as far west as possible along the road that runs between sea and the lake to one of the pavillions on the beach. Very shallow and nice sand - Curium Beach west of Limassol in the Soveriegn base area just before the Curium ruins. Go via the Fassouri plantations and the 'M1' towards Episkopi base, shortly after coming of the 'M1' heading west turn left and follow the road until you reach the 1st pavillion. Used by British service personel, good food and nice shallow sandy beach. Please note that the 'M1' is a long straight road though part of the Soveriegn base area named after the M1 because at one time it was the straightest road in Cyprus.more Beaches & Sights Top Tips
