Limassol is the second-largest city of Cyprus and the largest seaside resort. The city is located on the island's southern coast, on Akrotiri bay, and is built between two ancient cities, the cities of Amathus and Kourion . The town's holiday atmosphere, with the wide promenade and traditional shopping streets along with the cheerfulness and lively character of its people make Limassol an unforgettable experience to its visitors.

Limassol offers the best nightlife on the island and host’s the Island’s best-known festivals such as the annual Wine Festival in September, the ten day pre-Lenten Carnival, the Limassol Festival in summer and the ancient Drama Festival at Kourion. The Limassol Carnival festival lasts for ten (10) days, with jolly and amusing masquerading. This custom is very old, going back to pagan rituals. The festival starts with the entrance parade of the King Carnival, followed by a fancy-dress competition for children. During the Carnival parade in the main streets, large crowds from all over the island gather to watch the floats with the serenade and other masqueraded groups.
