Amathus was founded in 1100 B.C. and remained one of Cyprus' historic royal cities until around 300 A.D. The city is currently a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its spectacular ruins may be found on Cyprus' southern shore, barely 11 kilometers from Limassol. Visitors are welcome to explore the market, public baths, and the fountain complex, among other places.
Limassol Castle is located in the center of the medieval city, is thought to have been built in 1193. The existing edifice, however, was built in the 19th century while the Turks were in power. The castle's 2-m-thick walls and distinctive ground-floor prison cells, which were in service until 1950, are some of its notable features.

The Zenobia, a Swedish-built freighter that sank off the coast of Larnaka in 1980, is considered one of the top wreck dives in the world. You can walk about the ship's decks and marvel at the swarms of marine life that have been drawn to this accidental artificial reef.

If you’re looking for an activity to do after a long day of work on this beautiful island, here are a few activities you can opt for! From wine tasting to watersport activities in Ayia Napa - there’s bound to be something that you would love.
The terrain of Cyprus is filled with vineyards and small wineries, especially near the Troodos Mountains. The native grape varieties Mavro and Xynisteri create some of the best, award-winning wines in the world. Tastings are also available at many wineries, including the Kolios Winery and the Tsangarides Winery.
In Cyprus, cycling is a very popular sport. The routes range in difficulty from reasonably easy to moderate to advance. The Polis to Akamas Lighthouse route, for example, is 13.6 miles (22 kilometers) long, while the Larnaca-Kofinou-Dali route, which begins in Larnaca, is 37 miles (60 kilometers) long and often mountainous. It is a great way to explore each town.
Meze is short for mezedes (“little delicacies”), a Cypriot gastronomic tradition that’s as much Turkish as it is Greek. And there's no better way to bring the island's cultures together than a never-ending parade of small plates of Cyprus specialties, hot and cold, salty and sweet, freshly prepared and preserved.
During the summer months, the waters of Cyprus are often filled with yachts cruising around and boats for day trips. The island is also seeing huge growing numbers of marinas, especially in Limassol, Latchi, Paphos, and Ayia since yachting has become super popular in the region. If you want to hire small boats for a casual day trip then head down to Ayia Napa and Protaras, they would usually offer day cruises, snorkeling trips, and even a candlelit meal for that special someone.
Windsurfing is popular in both Ayia Napa and Protaras, and waterskiing is popular in both Ayia Napa and Larnaca. Jetskis can be rented at some of the busier beaches, or you can try your hand at parasailing. On the east coast, Ayia Napa and Protaras provide the best windsurfing conditions, especially in the afternoons when the sea is whipped up by a strong breeze.
If you’re opting for a more friendly and fun activity that can be enjoyed in a group then head down to a family-oriented beach for a banana boat ride.
In the Mediterranean, Cyprus has some of the best thalassotherapy centers. The therapy makes use of seawater, which has a regenerative effect on the skin and is delivered in the form of baths, jet showers, and sauna-style rooms with temperatures ranging from icy cold to hot. The treatment is intended to detoxify and anti-age the body and skin, as well as heal some diseases.
There is a perfect route for you, whether you prefer a casual stroll or a more strenuous trekking session.

Here are some tips for you to keep in mind when visiting Cyprus
Cyprus is part of the European Union despite its close location to Turkey and Syria but due to the long-standing conflict between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot, the island is divided into two, internationally unrecognized, partitions :
This explains why the island has two official languages, Cypriot Greek in the south and Cypriot Turkish in the north.
The big cities have a great internet connection that is accessible in most places but we advise you to buy a local sim card if you will be working remotely to make sure you have a stable internet connection the whole time.
Cyprus has the type G power plugs and sockets, so it is important to pack an adapter. People visiting from Europe, Australia, and Asia can use their electronics normally in Cyprus but for people coming from the US, Canada, and South America, a voltage converter will be needed.
It is important to know that Cyprus has left-hand traffic before renting a car as it might be challenging for those who are not used to it. We recommend renting an automatic car beforehand and always staying on the left side of the road to have a less challenging driving experience.
