Private Limassol Tour – Old Town, Medieval Castle & Modern Marina

Lively, elegant, and full of contrasts — Limassol is where Cyprus’ history and modern life meet.

On this Private Limassol Tour, you’ll explore a city that shines with Mediterranean energy yet still carries the charm of its medieval past.

Walk through the winding lanes of the old town, where cafés spill into sunny squares and the air hums with local life. Step inside the medieval Limassol Castle, where Richard the Lionheart is said to have married Berengaria of Navarre, crowning her Queen of England right here on Cypriot soil. From there, the tour flows naturally into the city’s vibrant present — the modern Marina with its elegant yachts and waterfront restaurants, and the seaside promenade, where locals stroll beneath palm trees with views of the skyline and sea.

It’s the perfect blend of old and new — timeless stories set against the rhythm of a modern Mediterranean city.

Private Limassol Tour – Old Town, Medieval Castle & Modern Marina

Your Private Limassol Tour begins in the city’s historic old town, a lively maze of narrow streets, boutique shops, and traditional cafés. This area has been beautifully restored, creating a unique atmosphere where history and modern urban life coexist.

At the heart of the old town stands the Limassol Castle, a solid medieval fortress surrounded by stone walls and stories of knights and kings. According to legend, this is where Richard the Lionheart married Berengaria of Navarre in 1191, making her Queen of England right here in Cyprus. Inside, you can visit the small museum dedicated to Cyprus’ medieval history, and from the upper levels, you’ll enjoy a panoramic view of the city and coastline.

From the castle, we’ll continue our stroll through the surrounding streets — filled with art galleries, small workshops, and stylish cafés — before heading towards the Limassol Marina. This elegant new development has transformed the city’s waterfront into a cosmopolitan hub of restaurants, shops, and luxurious yachts, all set against the sparkling blue of the Mediterranean.

Finally, we’ll walk or drive along the new seaside promenade (Molos), a beautifully landscaped walkway stretching along the coast. It’s a favorite place for locals and visitors alike — perfect for photos, sea views, or simply enjoying the relaxed coastal atmosphere and the city skyline.

This Private Limassol Tour can be tailored entirely to your interests — more history, shopping, architecture, or time by the sea. Experience Limassol as a city of contrasts: ancient, modern, and full of Mediterranean life.
