Well-preserved medieval castle

Fortified castle from the 15th century

The medieval Limassol Castle is located near the old harbor in the heart of the historic center of Limassol. The castle, as it appears today, is a structure rebuilt around 1590 during the period of Ottoman rule.

From the dam wall, you have a beautiful view of the Germasogeia Reservoir. Currently, the water level is very low, March 2025

Rest area between road and river

Beautiful scenery. The area around the shooting range is now completely paved.

The Kouris River rises in the central part of the Troodos Mountains at an altitude of approximately 1,700 meters. Cyprus' largest dam, with a capacity of 115,000,000 m³, was completed in 1989 at Alassa. It is 110 meters high. The artificial lake created by the dam covers an area of 3.5 km² and is fed primarily by the waters of the Kouris River and its tributaries, the Krios and Limnatis, as well as by part of the waters of the Diarizos River. Some buildings in the neighboring village of Alassa are submerged in the waters of the dam, including the old parish church, dedicated to Agios Nikolaos. Currently, in March 2025, the water level is so low that the ruins of the old church are submerged well above the shore.
